What's New in WebPlus 10...
The focus in WebPlus 10 is very much on opening up WebPlus to allow it to
be used as a platform for developing dynamic web pages—making modern
fast-moving content packed full of interest! Advanced web users gain by
being able to edit HTML source code directly. Let's look at the new WebPlus
10 features in turn.
• E-Commerce—Sell, Sell, Sell! (p. 199)
WebPlus makes the process of placing items for sale on your web site
quick and easy with its built-in support for E-Commerce shopping cart
providers (e.g., PayPal)! Simply adding E-Commerce Forms, E-
Commerce Buttons, or even a hyperlink from any WebPlus object (text,
pictures or shapes) will access your chosen shopping cart. Buy Now, Add
to Shopping Cart, Donation, and Subscription forms will get money
moving with buying options and form validation thrown in! Sign up to
shopping carts directly or adopt existing accounts.
• Web-ready Forms for gathering content (p. 172)
Apply forms to your web pages—use a WebForm Wizard to adopt ready-
to-go standard forms for contact details, user feedback/comments,
canvassing opinions, or uploading documents (e.g., CVs) or pictures.
Use Standard Form Objects as building blocks to slash form design
time! Submit form data via Web Resources, Serif's free form-to-email
transit gateway (data goes straight to your email on submission) or subject
data to local/remote scripting. Control tab order for improved form
navigation.
• Send Current Page as Email (p. 65)
Create fantastic looking HTML email with WebPlus's outstanding layout
capabilities. Send your page design as an advertising email link, use for
web site launches, or promote you products and services!
