Site Management
-
Files within the website are managed by this website builder. When you move or rename files or directories within the Website Explorer, any links on the web pages referencing these files or directories will be updated automatically.
-
You can drop external files to the website explorer or directly to the active web page if they are gif, jpg or png files.
-
You can drag binary files out of the website explorer.
-
When you delete a file which is still referenced by any web pages, a warning will be given. This minimizes the chances of missing files when your site is published.
-
You can easily back up and restore your websites.
WYSIWYG Editors

This website builder features WYSIWYG editors, so it is easy to insert text, tables, images, forms and horizontal lines, just as you would in your favorite word processing program. More than this, you can also add audio and video files, preset javascript effects and PayPal buttons to the web pages. All HTML code will be generated automatically. You do not need to write a single line of HTML code.

You can mark text with tags such as H1 - H6, paragraph etc. These tags are important for search engine optimization (SEO).

CSS Styles

A global style sheet is generated automatically and linked to every HTML page of the website.

Any changes to the names of style rules will be updated to the affected elements automatically.
HTML Source Editor

Raw HTML code snippets can be added to a page to support advanced usage.

File names and locations will be managed by this website builder if they are within the website and relative paths are used. For example, a snippet uses this code "<img src='images/some-image.png' />" to reference the image file "some-image.png" in the folder "images" within the website. Its name and location will be managed by the program. If later, the name of the file "some-image.png" is renamed to "this-image.png" in the Website Explorer, the name in the code snippet will be changed to "<img src='images/this-image.png' />" automatically. To check whether this type of support is available, just press CTRL-SPACE between two apostrophe such as this "src='<Press CTRL-SPACE here>'". A list of available files will be shown together with their relative path names. Selecting a file from this list will make sure that they can be managed by the program.
Template Pages
-
A template page can be created and added to another web page so that all elements in the template page will be included in other web pages. Any changes made to the template page will be updated to other web pages that use it. This is good for common elements that are used by many pages in the website.
-
Support dynamic contents and footer elements in the template page. By marking certain elements as contents elements, their height will be adjusted so that the bottom will be extended to just above the footer elements The footer elements will be moved automatically to the bottom of the other elements on the web page that uses this template page.
