This
basic tutorial will show you how to use one of the wizards in
Serif Webplus to create your webpage for you. In order to do this,
you will need the complete version of Serif Webplus, which is
available here. When you download
the complete version from our server, you will want to execute
all of the setup files contained inside the ZIP file that you
have just downloaded. Simply follow all the steps presented to
you and in minutes, the complete version of Serif Webplus will
be fully installed on your computer. Once you have installed and
registered Webplus (registration is free, it just requires your
name and email address), you can get right to creating your webpage.
The first time you start WebPlus, it will pop-up a few windows
offering you helpful tips and a link to their website. Once you
get past those, it will give you a pop-up that looks like this:
You
will want to double-click on the box that says "Use a
Web Wizard". It will bring you to a menu which will give
you three choices for what type of wizard you would like to
use. The choices are: "Business", "Personal",
and "Club". For this example, we will be choosing
"Business". It will then bring you to a window that
looks like this:
Here
you will be choosing the template for your site. A list of
different templates is displayed in the scroll box, and a
preview picture for each one is displayed in the box on the
right. All of them are arranged differently, with different
colors and different formatting of text, buttons, links, and
images. For this example, we will be choosing the "Designer"
template.
Webplus
will then ask you to choose a color scheme. For this template,
only two color scheme are offered, and for this example, we
will be choosing the one in the lower-right-hand corner. Choose
your selection by clicking on it and then clicking the "Next"
button.
You
will then be asked to start entering your personal or
business information. Enter the information as prompted
through the next few menus, and then your site will generated
for you. If you enter something incorrectly, don't worry.
You can change all of this information on your website
once it's generated. Once your site is generated, you
will be able to edit all aspects of it, including color,
layout, pictures, text, and links. Click the NEXT
