Creating your own web site used to mean learning a programming language.
No more - not if you use Netscape Composer,
the easy-to-use web page editor that's included with Netscape Communicator.
Navigator Gold is the forerunner to today's powerful Composer. If
you have been a loyal Gold user, we encourage you to upgrade
to Communicator today for free to begin enjoying the many enhancements
we have included.
Netscape offers two ways to help make it even easier for
Communicator and Navigator Gold users to create web pages: Netscape Page Wizard and Netscape Creating Web sites Tool chest.
|
|
| Netscape Page Wizard |
| What it is: |
A free JavaScript
program available on the Netscape web site. |
| Who it's for: |
Navigator Gold users who want a wizard to help them create simple, single-page web sites with optional links to other pages or sites. Communicator users may also use Page Wizard.
|
| How it works: |
Page Wizard asks you to select background and text colors, and you fill in a form with the text you want. |
| How to do it: |
-
Visit Page Wizard and follow the
prompts.
-
After saving the page to your computer, make custom edits using Navigator
Gold or Composer.
-
Post your page to the web by selecting File-Publish and completing the
information in the window (you may have to contact your ISP for the FTP
or HTTP location). Then click OK.
-
If you don't have your own ISP
yet, choose one from this list

|
| Netscape Creating Web Sites Tool Chest |
| What it is: |
Free web page templates and clip-art resources that web page creators can copy.
|
| Who it's for: |
Communicator or Navigator Gold users who prefer to "do it themselves", whether they're creating a single-page or multipage web site. |
| How it works: |
Save a template to your computer, then copy and paste in the resources to personalize your web page. |
| How to do it: |
-
Review the web page templates
and select the one closest to your needs.
-
While viewing the template, select File-Edit Document; this automatically
saves the page template and all image files and downloads them all to your
hard disk.
-
Edit and customize the template to suit your needs. Delete all extraneous
text, logos, and so on.
-
Add some flash to your site with the Creating Web Sites Tool Chest of clip art, graphics, patterns, and textures.
-
Post your page to the web by selecting File-Publish and completing the
information in the window (you may have to contact your ISP for the FTP
or HTTP location). Then click OK.
-
If you don't have your own ISP
yet, choose one from this list
