Operation Manual

14 Getting Started
For editing your site, WebPlus offers a set of intuitive tools and a
straightforward workspace that resembles a desktop publishing (DTP)
environment. You can easily import text or images, use the built-in
word processor, create colorful graphic shapes, and add hyperlinks and
hotspots that users can click to access other Web pages or send e-mail.
Once your content is in place, you can use a variety of proofing tools
and Wizards to review and optimize the site before publishing it.
You can preview one or more pages at any time, either within WebPlus
(using a special window based on the Internet Explorer browser) or
separately using any browser installed on your system.
When you’re ready to publish, WebPlus takes the project’s pages and
converts them to HTML, graphics (images) and other files. You never
have to worry about the HTML code itself.
How do I publish my Web site?
Publishing a site using WebPlus is a one-step operation that:
(1) converts your project to files for the Web, and
(2) copies the Web files to a location you specify—either a local hard
disk or a Web host.
To publish to a local folder, you don’t even need a connection to the
Internet. Of course, you’ll need a Web browser to view your site.
To publish to the World Wide Web, you’ll need a host for your Web
site—that is, disk space on a server connected to the Internet—so that
others can access your site. You can also publish your site to the remote
server using WebPlus or a separate FTP utility. You’ll find details in
online help (see the topic “Publishing to the World Wide Web”).
