Web Site Setup Wizard

The WebExpress Web Site Setup Wizard makes setting up a web site as simple as choosing some options with the click of a mouse.

With the Web Site Wizard, you can build a web site from the great WebExpress templates that our designers created for you, you can build your web site from scratch, or you can start your web site with existing web pages.

It's easy in WebExpress.


Web Site Manager

One of the biggest and best changes in WebExpress 3.0 is the focus on the web site as opposed to individual web pages. WebExpress now conveniently tracks all the links in your web site starting from your home page down. The Web Site Manger visually displays the pages in your site, including links to pictures, email references and downloadable files.

Web Sites (as they are termed in WebExpress) simulate the real web site on your internet server. They are easy to create, and we strongly urge you create one and use it. Simply use New Web Site from the File Menu, and enter the base URL for your web site and the path to your home page on your computer (you can browse for it). WebExpress will take care of the rest.

Features of the Web Site Manager

•	Web Site Organization and Navigation
Visually tracks the pages in your web site, and how they are linked. Double click on a page in the Web Site manger to load and edit the page. Easily identifies the different links including links within your web site, links to other sites on the World Wide Web, images, bookmarks, email and image maps. Expand and Collapse pages to control the viewing of your entire web or portions of it. And best of all, the Web Site Manager does this all automatically, so that as links are added or removed, the Web Site is always kept up to date.

•	Convenient Project Management
The Web Site remembers from session to session which the last web site being worked on, which files were left open and which ones were closed. Each time WebExpress is launched, it recalls the last web site, sets up all the web site directories, and opens the files last being edited. A great time saver.

•	Visual Validation of Web Site Connectivity
Quickly identifies broken links in your web site with visual indicators such as a broken link icons and distinctive text colors. If a page does not exist, double clicking on the broken link automatically creates a new page with the correct name and URL. Allows you to quickly scan your site to validate all local links before uploading to the Web.

•	Manage Filename Case Sensitivity in Site URLs
Windows based systems and UNIX based web servers handle case sensitivity in filenames differently. UNIX treats files with the same spelling but differing in case as different files, whereas Windows treats them as the same. This can cause Windows based users problems when developing a web site, and lead to broken links once the web site is activated on the Web. You can choose to allow the WebExpress Web Site Manager to monitor the case of your URLs, and force them to always be written in a consistent manner, either upper or lower case. Optionally, it will force filenames to also always use the same case as the URL (32-bit version only).

•	Web Site Image Maps
Image Maps can be stored by the Web Site Manager, making them immediately available to new pages created within your site. This makes adding a graphical site map to your web pages a snap. And when the image map is changed, each web page which uses it can automatically be updated with the new information.


Browser Launcher

WebExpress is one of the most WYSIWYG editors on the market. Every attempt is made to follow the HTML 3 specifications as closely as possible, and to mimic the behavior of the major web browsers, especially Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, due to the nature of HTML and the battle for browser supremacy, it is impossible to completely match the behavior for all browsers, since their displays differ in many ways.

To allow you to view exactly how your page will look in a browser, WebExpress now allows you to launch the current page into a browser from within WebExpress. You can configure up to two different browsers which can be launched. WebExpress currently searches for and automatically configures Netscape Navigator, Mosaic and Microsoft Internet Explorer. If you configure another browser manually, please email us the details so that we can include it in future automatic configurations.


Style Sheets

WebExpress 3.0 supports the new cascading style sheets specification known as CSS. CSS is supported by Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0, and in Netscape Navigator.

Just like the style sheets and templates in word processing programs, these web page style sheets are sets of formatting instructions that define how the pages, paragraphs, and fonts in your web site appear when your site is viewed in a standard browser.


Image Management

WebExpress 3.0 provides enhanced image management, so you can convert, add, and edit images in your web site on-the-fly.

WebExpress supports conversion of TIF, PCX, WMF, and BMP files to GIF, JPG, or PNG formats.

You can add text to any image, and even launch your favorite image editor right from WebExpress.


Image Mapping

With WebExpress 3.0, you can add image maps (hot zones) to any image just by choosing the hot zone area with your mouse. The new visual image map tool gives you the ability to create interesting and exciting image maps without calculating grid coordinates or counting pixels.


Frame Support

WebExpress now supports the creation and management of frame based web sites. The frame based page is typically the web site’s home page, and defines how the display is laid out when the web site will be viewed in a browser. Any page, however, can be designated as a frame page, and can also contain a supplemental page for viewers whose browser do not support.

To switch between the Frame portion of the page and the supplemental page check the appropriate option on the View menu.

If you are switching to a frame based web site, you can conveniently use your current home page as a starting point. First load your current home page into WebExpress. Next, switch to Frame Page view using the View menu. Arrange the frames like you want them. Finally, save the page. Your home page will now be setup to support frames, with your old home page being displayed as the alternative for browsers not supporting frames.


Form Support

Full support for creating forms is now available within WebExpress. You can add a form anywhere within a web page. The tools to create forms are found on the Insert menu. You can also turn on a floating toolbar called Form Tools which provides for convenient access while creating the form. Form Tools can be turned on from the View menu or from the Control Strip bar.

Form commands include:

Insert Form	Creates a new form section into which form elements can be placed.
Clear Form	Ends the form at the current paragraph.
Text Box	Inserts a text box into which visitors to your web page can enter information.
Check Box	Inserts a check box control which indicates whether an item is selected or not.
Radio Button	Inserts a radio button control which indicates a specific item in the form is selected.
Drop Down Menu	Inserts a menu control which allows a list of items to be displayed.
Push Button	Inserts a push button used to designate some sort of action for the form.


Fontset Support

WebExpress now supports the Face extension found in Netscape 3.0 and MS Internet Explorer 3.0. This allows you to specify the typeface a browser should use when displaying text. The browser decides which typeface to use by checking a list of typefaces sequentially to find one available on the visitor’s computer.

In WebExpress, the face extension is handled by font sets. A Font Set is a named list of typefaces which the browser will search when the web page is loaded. The typefaces in the list may include typefaces not available on your system, in fact, you may want to include typefaces which are only available on Macintosh or UNIX systems so that viewers on those systems also benefit from the selection.

You can define as many Font Sets as you wish, but keep in mind that the more unique the typeface, the less chance it will exist on a visitor’s computer. To use a Font Set to text, you apply it just as you would a normal typeface in a word processor or desktop publisher. To access the Font Set definition dialog, choose Format>Character.


JavaScript Support

You can now include and edit JavaScript, VBScript and other scripting languages from within WebExpress. To edit your scripts, use the Script command from the Edit menu. This will show a list of all scripts currently contained in the document. You can then add new scripts, edit existing scripts, and delete scripts from your web page.


Multimedia Support

WebExpress 3.0 includes enhanced support for multimedia controls. You can add ActiveX controls, Marquees, plug-ins, sounds, and a variety of other cool widgets to your web site.

In WebExpress, all these bells and whistles can be added easily. Just choose the multimedia control you want from a menu.


Show Paragraph Breaks

Showing paragraph breaks is an old feature with new meaning. Turning this feature on via the View menu now differentiates between the HTML commands New Paragraph <P> and Break <BR>. When turned on, the following symbols are displayed depending on the type of line break.

¶	This symbol denotes line breaks which correspond to the Paragraph <P> HTML command, and generally have a larger amount of space between lines. This type of break is created by pressing the Enter key.
¬	This symbol denotes line breaks which correspond to the Break <BR> command. These types of line breaks generally have a smaller amount of space between lines. This type of break is created by pressing the Enter key while holding down the shift key.
There are a number of situations where the two types breaks generate the same amount of space, which is generally the same as the Paragraph <P> command. This usually occurs when something other formatting command is different between the two blocks of text, for example a change in alignment from Center to Left.

You can also change the type of line break by toggling the New Paragraph command on the Format menu.


Your Web Site

A web site is typically a collection of HTML documents (web pages), images, and files available for download by those visiting your site. More sophisticated sites may also have cgi or java scripts, and other automated information retrieval devices. In its simplest form, however, it is a collection of files on a computer.

This collection of files is located on a computer somewhere, either at the location of your home or business, or at the location of your Internet service provider. Your files are stored in a folder or subdirectory structure somewhere on that computer. Your site is identified by an ID used by the Internet to locate the computer on the network, and the location of your directory structure on the computer.

Your Local Web

Regardless of where this computer is located on the Internet, or where your files are located on that computer, it is easy useful to maintain a mirror image of your web site on a local computer. This will allow you to safely edit your pages without disrupting your web site, effectively simulates the environment once it is uploaded to the Internet, and provides you with a backup copy of all the files on your site.

Another benefit of having a local web is that when you are ready to activate your web site, you can upload the entire site at once. This will eliminate searching for the various files, or worse, potentially missing some important files which need to be updated or added to your web.

Click here to learn about Web Site Organization.


Web Site Organization

In its simplest form, your web site is a single folder which contains all the files which make up your web. This would include HTML documents (web pages), images, files which can be downloaded, and anything else you find necessary.

This works well for smaller sites. Everything is conveniently located in one place, and referencing the different pages and elements is easy when creating hypertext links to them. For larger sites, this may become unwieldy, however, and more organization is needed.

One common organization of a web site is to create several sub-folders off of your main folder. One can be used for web pages, one for images and one for files which can be downloaded. This conveniently separates the different types of components, and stores them together. You may also want to further break down the structure by subject matter.

In any event, if you anticipate your site growing from a smaller one to a larger one, you may want to think about its organization. While WebExpress makes it easy to change hypertext links to the different elements, it will still require some work and attention to detail when and if the structure changes.

Click here to learn about your Home Page.


Your Home Page

You need to have a entry point into your web site. Typically you will design one page to be the entry point, which welcomes visitors and allows access to all other areas of your web site. This is commonly referred to as your home page. The address (or URL) to your home page is what someone will type into their browsers to direct it to your site.

Businesses typically have domain names which they associate with their web sites. The name for a domain usually has a connection with the business itself. It is desirable to allow users to simply type in a domain name, to make is easy to remember.

To accommodate using the domain name, most web server software packages have standardized on several names to use for your home page. The server will automatically look for an HTML document of one of these names when a user connects via a domain name. They will look for one of the following names in this order:

INDEX.HTML

WELCOME.HTML

HOME.HTML

INDEX.HTM

WELCOME.HTM

HOME.HTM

Note that it first looks for the HTML extension for files. This is due to the Internet’s UNIX heritage. The HTM extension is becoming more and more common with the influx of PC based systems, and works fine, so long as you don’t mix them (the HTML extension takes precedence when two files otherwise have the same name).

If your web site piggy backs on another, and you need to explicitly include an HTML document in your address (URL), you should try to make it easy for a user to remember, and make it fit with the purpose of the page.

Registering WebExpress

Once you’ve purchased your copy of WebExpress, you will receive a registration code which will enable full functionality to your evaluation copy. The registration code is based off the WebExpress product ID and the name you give when you order WebExpress. We recommend that you write down the code in a safe place in case you need to later install WebExpress on a different computer.

Once you’ve purchased WebExpress and entered your registration code, you are entitled to free updates for WebExpress, up until the next major upgrade. Check our Web site at www.mvd.com from time to time to find out the latest release of WebExpress, and what’s changed in the new version.


Using the WebExpress Logos

If you’ve found that using WebExpress has helped design and create your web pages, and you’d like to help us spread the word, we’ve created two special logos which you can attach to your web page for this purpose.

As depicted here, they are small, attractive icons, which simply state your page was designed using WebExpress. Pick the one which looks best on your page. Generally, they are placed at the bottom where it will not interfere with your message. Even better, link it to our home page at www.mvd.com so that others interested in WebExpress can get more info.

The logos are installed into your DOCS folder under the folder you specified when you ran the setup program. They are named WXLOGO1.GIF and WXLOGO2.GIF. If you do use them, thank you very much!

Whether you use the logo or not, drop us a note letting us know the address to your web site, so we can see all the great pages created with WebExpress!

Images in your Web Site

Images play a large role in designing an attractive and interesting web site. You can display your company’s logo, show snapshots of products, and draw a reader’s attention to points of interest. As the Web matures, the proper use of images will play an increasingly important role.

Due to modem speeds and Internet traffic, however, there is a downside to over using images. Large, very colorful images tend to take considerable time to download, even when using a 28.8K modem. Some users may become impatient waiting for the graphics to download. You will need to balance the importance of your image to your message with the time it takes for a user to download that image to your computer.

WebExpress supports the two most common image formats found on the Internet: GIF and JPEG. They have become popular due to their ability to compress high quality color images into the smallest possible size, saving transmission time in the process. While many other fine image formats exist, stick to these two formats and you will be sure that all graphical browsers will support you.

GIF is designed for images of 256 colors or less, and works very well for images with solid colors such as clip art and logos. JPEG is designed for 24 bit color images and is often used for photographic images. GIF also has the advantage of designating one color to be transparent, so that it can be seamlessly displayed on a patterned background.

If you have images in other formats, you will need to convert them to GIF or JPEG before using them in your web pages. We can suggest two fine software programs which will allow you to accomplish this. One is Adobe Photoshop, the other is PaintShopPro from JASC, Inc. Both programs will allow you to convert your images, as well as touch up images, reduce the number of colors, and set transparent values.


Getting Started

After you’ve thought about the big picture a little bit, it’s time to get started creating Web Pages. WebExpress is extremely easy to use; if you’ve used a Windows word processor you’re well on your way. Here are a few tips to help move things along.

•	First, Set up your Local Web Site.


Setting up your Local Web Site

To set up your local Web Site:

1	First, designate a folder on your computer which will be the base for your local web site. This will be where you should store your web pages and images, and should mirror your web site on the Internet.

2	If you are using WebExpress to maintain an existing site, if you haven’t already setup up a local web you may want to consider to doing so now.

See the About Your Web Site section for more on web site organization.

•	Now, Set up your Preferences.


Setting up your Preferences

It is a good idea to find out what is available as preferences in WebExpress from the start, so that as you begin working with it, you know what you can customize to your tastes. Some preferences dictate how WebExpress works and what tools are available, while others dictate the default behavior for web pages or elements on them.

•	Now, Set up the path the to your Image Files .


Setting up the Path to your Image Files

One preference of special note is the one which tells WebExpress where to look for images. This is important, because in an HTML document, you don’t specify where the image is located on your computer, it specifies where to look on the Internet. WebExpress will use the same filename used on the Internet, and search the Image Path when it needs to display the image.

This path can be relative to your local web site, or an explicit location on your hard disk. For example, if you always store images on your web sites in a folder named IMAGES, and that folder is located just below the base folder for your web, you can simply enter IMAGES. This will then work for all web sites with the same configuration.

Alternatively, you may like to store all your images in one place on your hard disk for easy reference by all programs. In this case, you will want to include the full path to that location.

•	Now, Set up a Permanent URL List .


Setting up a Permanent URL List

You will find that some URL addresses are used in a lot of different places. For convenience, WebExpress makes it easy to reference these common URLs without having to re-enter them each time.

We can give several examples of these common addresses.

For example, you will probably always want to include a link back to your home page on all your supporting web pages. Another example is if you have a navigational toolbar of significant locations within your web, and the toolbar is used on all your pages. Finally, you can add all your e-mail addresses to the list, so that you can receive feedback from those visiting your web site.

Use the Link command from the Insert menu to bring up the URL dialog. You can then add all your most common addresses to the permanent list. This guarantees that these important addresses will be available each time you create new hypertext links.

•	Now, set your Web Page Properties.


Setting your Web Page Properties

Each web page contains the default characteristics for how that page will behave and look. You can setup background colors or images, the default color for text and hypertext links. You can even setup sounds to use each time someone visits your page.

You can also enter META commands and information. If you submit your page to search engines, you will want to find out what META command are used by the search engine, and specify them here. It is a powerful way for potential visitors to find your site.

Each time you create a new web page, you have the opportunity to set the properties for the page.

You can, of course, edit them at any time using the Web Page Properties command from the Edit menu.
