Some templates contain Smart objects (see p. 306) such as newsletter sign ups
and polls. As Smart objects are stored in Serif Web Resources they have to be
associated with a valid Serif customer account. If you want to make use of the
Smart Object (if unwanted just delete them), double-click it and login to Serif
Web Resources; this will associate the object to your account.
WebPlus doesn't stop at just offering pages from a single template. You can
easily adopt additional pages from a different template to add some style
variation within your Web site—for instance, you could create Web pages
with a set look and feel, but a separate members-only area could adopt a
different look entirely by adding another templates' pages. When adding more
template pages you can choose to copy or ignore associated master pages as
the pages are added to your Web site. See
Adding, removing, and rearranging
pages on p.
36 for more details.
To create a Web site using a template:
1. Launch WebPlus, or choose Startup Wizard... from the File menu, to
display the Startup Wizard.
2. Click Create>Use Design Template.
3. From the dialog, select a template from the main pane. Templates are
grouped into subject-based categories; use the scroll bar or collapse a
category to reveal more options (click the
button next to the category
name). The right-hand pane refreshes to display thumbnails of that
template's available pages.
4. From the right-hand pane, decide which pages you wish to be part of
your Web site. Check or uncheck under each page as appropriate, or use
Select All or Deselect All buttons for all or no pages.
5. Pick a Button Theme and Scheme from the drop-down lists. The page
thumbnails refresh to reflect the new page's appearance. For a closer
look, use the Zoom In/Zoom Out buttons or Zoom slider at the bottom
of the dialog.
6. Click Open.
The site opens to the first (Home) page, with the Studio's Site tab displayed on
the right, showing the various pages that comprise the site in its Site Structure
tree.
