to all of the terms and conditions of this License. Do not install or use the Software if you do not
agree with all of the terms and conditions of this License. Under the Money-Back Guarantee
section below you will have the right to return the Licensed Software for a refund if you should
choose not to install or use the Licensed Software. Please refer to the Money-Back Guarantee

and promise to comply with, all of the terms and conditions of this EULA.
LICENSE TERMS
CONTENTS. The “Licensed Software” includes all of the contents of the files, disk(s),
CD-ROM(s), DVDs, or other media for which this EULA is provided, including: (1) third-party
computer information or software that Avanquest has licensed for inclusion in the Licensed
Software; (2) written materials or files relating to the Licensed Software (“Documentation”); (3)
fonts; and (4) upgrades, modified versions, updates, additions, and copies of the Licensed
Software, if any (collectively, “Updates”).
INSTALLATION. Unless Licensee has purchased a Site License Agreement, Licensee may install
one copy of the Licensed Software on a single computer. Licensee shall be solely responsible for
all expenses incurred in Licensee's installation of the Licensed Software.
ACTIVATION. The Licensed Software contains technological measures that are designed to
prevent its unlicensed or illegal use. The Licensed Software may contain enforcement technology
that limits Licensee’s ability to install and uninstall the Licensed Software on a machine to no more
than a finite number of times, and for a finite number of machines.
The Licensed Software may require activation as explained during installation and in the
Documentation. If any such applicable activation procedure(s) is not followed, then the Licensed
Software may only operate for a finite period of time. If activation is required, and not completed
within the finite period of time set forth in the Documentation and explained during installation,
then the Licensed Software will cease to function until activation has been completed, at which
time functionality will be restored. If Licensee has any problem with the activation process,
Licensee should contact Avanquest customer support.
COPIES. Licensee may only make one copy of the Licensed Software for backup or archival
purposes only, except that the Documentation may not be duplicated.
TRANSFER. Licensee may not sell, assign, sublicense, rent, lease, lend or otherwise transfer the
Licensed Software or the License granted by this EULA without prior written consent of
Avanquest.
USE. The License granted by this EULA is non-exclusive. Licensee may not use the Licensed
Software except as expressly permitted by this License.
PROHIBITED USES. (1) Licensee may not modify, alter, adapt or translate all or any portion of
the Licensed Software; (2) Licensee may not create any derivative works from all or any portion of
the Licensed Software; (3) Licensee may not reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or
otherwise attempt to discover the source code of the Licensed Software; (4) Licensee may not use a
previous version of the Licensed Software after receiving a media replacement or upgraded version
as a replacement to a prior version (in such case you must destroy the prior version); (5) Licensee
may not use the Licensed Software in the operation of aircraft, ship, nuclear facilities, life-support
machines, communication systems, or any other equipment in which the failure of the software
could lead to personal injury, death, or environmental damage; (6) Licensee may not remove or
obscure Avanquest's copyright or trademark notices, or the copyright and trademark notices of third
parties that Avanquest has included in the Licensed Software; (7) Licensee may not use the
Licensed Software to host applications for third parties, as part of a facility management,
timesharing, service provider, or service bureau arrangement; and (8) Licensee may not use the
Licensed Software in any manner not authorized by this EULA.
CONTENT. Licensee may use any clipart, photographs, icons, fonts, shapes, animations, sounds,
music, video clips, and all other graphic content (collectively, “Content”) included with the
Licensed Software, if any, only as stated in the Documentation. If the Documentation does not
permit Licensee to use the Content, then Licensee may not display, modify, reproduce, or distribute
any of the Content; and even if the Documentation permits Licensee to use the Content, Licensee
may not distribute the Content on a stand-alone basis such as where the Content constitutes the
primary value of whatever Licensee is distributing.
Certain portions of the Content may consist of the copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade
names, or other intellectual property of third parties. These portions of the Content are provided for
the convenience of certain users of the Software who are expressly authorized to use them by their
owners. You may not use any third-party intellectual property without their express authorization.
Furthermore: (1) Licensee may not sell, license, distribute (commercially or otherwise), or make
available the Content as stand-alone images or sounds, or in catalogs, design books, compilations,
collections, templates, designs, stock engravings, products, services, or the like; (2) Licensee may
not sell, license, distribute (commercially or otherwise), or make available electronic copies of the
Content to third parties in any manner, including without limitation, via the Internet, on any
tangible media or by broadcast, that is intended or designed to enable a third party to copy the
Content for its own use; (3) Licensee may not sell, license, distribute (commercially or otherwise),
or make available electronic copies of the Content that includes representations of identifiable
individuals, governments, logos, initials, emblems, trademarks, or entities that expresses or implies
any endorsement or association with any product, service, entity, or activity; and (4) Under no
circumstances may the Content be used in the production of defamatory, fraudulent, infringing,
lewd, obscene, or pornographic material, or in any otherwise illegal manner.
Licensee is solely responsible for Licensee's use of the Content. Licensee may only use the Content
responsibly, in a manner consistent with the exercise of good judgment. If Licensee is having
difficulty deciding whether Licensee’s intended use is appropriate, or whether Licensee needs
written permission, or whether other legal issues should be considered, Avanquest strongly
encourages Licensee to seek competent legal counsel. Avanquest will not assist Licensee in making
this determination, nor can Avanquest provide Licensee with legal advice as to intellectual property
rights.
If Licensee or Licensee’s attorney determines that Licensee is required by law to obtain written
permission to use portions of the Content, Licensee must request permission for reproduction,
redistribution, or modification of the Content from the appropriate owner of the subject materials
(as may be cited in the Licensed Software). If, on the other hand, Licensee or Licensee's attorney
determines it is permissible to proceed and include Content from the Licensed Software, Avanquest
requires Licensee to correctly designate Avanquest's trademark(s) when referring to the Licensed
Software in the notice or copyright portion of Licensee's paper, project, or product.
Licensee shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Avanquest and Avanquest's suppliers and
licensors from all claims, damages, losses, attorneys’ fees, costs, and lawsuits that arise from, or
result from, Licensee’s use or distribution of Content, and/or from any breach by Licensee of this
EULA.
SOFTWARE UPDATES. If the Licensed Software is an Update to a previous version, Licensee
must possess a valid License to the previous version. Any Update provided to Licensee is made on
a License-exchange basis such that Licensee agrees, as a condition for receiving an Update, that
Licensee will terminate all of Licensee's rights to use any previous version of the Licensed
Software. However, Licensee may continue to use the previous version only to assist in
transitioning to the Updated version. Once an Update has been released, Avanquest may cease
support for prior versions, without any notice to Licensee.
CONTENT UPDATES. Avanquest provides updates to the content of some of its software from
time to time, including but not limited to, virus definitions, URL lists, rules, and updated
vulnerability data. These types of updates are collectively referred to as “Content Updates.”
Licensee may obtain any such Content Updates during the initial period provided for by the
applicable software without additional charge. Licensee may purchase a separate subscription for a
specified period of time to continue to receive Content Updates after the initial period expires.
Avanquest reserves the right to designate specified Content Updates as requiring purchase of a
separate subscription at any time, and without prior notice to Licensee, except that any such change
will only become effective at the earlier of the expiration of the initial period provided for by the
applicable software, or the expiration of the term of a separately paid for subscription.
SUPPORT. Avanquest is not obligated by this EULA to provide Licensee with any technical
support services relating to the Licensed Software; however, Licensee may order additional support
services for an additional charge as Avanquest may offer from time to time during the term of this
EULA.
LIMITED WARRANTY ON MEDIA. Avanquest warrants that the media on which the Licensed
Software is distributed will be free from material defects for a period of 30 days from the date the
Licensed Software is delivered to Licensee. If Licensee discovers a defect in the media during this
30-day period, Licensee may return the defective media to Avanquest, and Licensee’s sole remedy
is to have either the defective media replaced, or at Avanquest’s sole option, a refund of the money
that Licensee paid for the Licensed Software.
NO WARRANTY ON LICENSED SOFTWARE. THE LICENSED SOFTWARE (EXLUDING
THE MEDIA ON WHICH IT IS DISTRIBUTED) IS PROVIDED TO LICENSEE “AS IS.”
AVANQUEST, AND AVANQUEST’S SUPPLIERS AND LICENSORS, MAKE NO
WARRANTY AS TO ITS USE OR PERFORMANCE. AVANQUEST, AND AVANQUEST’S
SUPPLIERS AND LICENSORS, MAKE NO WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS,
REPRESENTATIONS, OR TERMS (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WHETHER BY STATUTE,
COMMON LAW, CUSTOM, USAGE, OR OTHERWISE) AS TO ANY MATTER INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS,
MERCHANTABILITY, INTEGRATION, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OR FITNESS FOR ANY
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EXCEPT FOR, AND TO THE EXTENT, THAT A WARRANTY
MAY NOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED BY APPLICABLE LAW IN LICENSEE’S
JURISDICTION.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT WILL AVANQUEST, OR AVANQUEST’S
SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS, BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE FOR ANY DAMAGES, CLAIMS,
OR COSTS WHATSOEVER, OR FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY,
SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, OR ANY LOST PROFITS OR LOST
SAVINGS, EVEN IF A REPRESENTATIVE OF AVANQUEST OR ONE OF AVANQUEST’S
SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS,
DAMAGES, CLAIMS, OR COSTS, OR FOR ANY CLAIM BY ANY THIRD PARTY. THESE
LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS APPLY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW IN LICENSEE’S JURISDICTION. THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF
AVANQUEST, AND AVANQUEST’S SUPPLIERS, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
EULA, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID FOR THE LICENSED SOFTWARE.
ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR BETA SOFTWARE. If the Licensed Software that Licensee
receives with this EULA is pre-commercial release or “BETA” software (“Pre-release Software”),
then, to the extent that any provision in this section is in conflict with any other term or condition
in this EULA, this section supersedes such conflicting term(s) and condition(s) as to the Pre-release
Software, but only to the extent necessary to resolve the conflict.
Licensee acknowledges that the Pre-release Software does not represent the final product from
Avanquest, and may contain bugs, errors, and other problems that could cause system or other
failures and data loss. Consequently, Avanquest disclaims any warranty or liability obligations to
Licensee of any kind whatsoever.
IN APPLICABLE JURISDICTIONS WHERE LIABILITY CANNOT BE SO EXCLUDED FOR
PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE, BUT MAY BE LIMITED, AVANQUEST’S LIABILITY, AND
THAT OF ITS SUPPLIERS, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE TOTAL OF FIFTY DOLLARS (U.S.
$50.00).
Licensee acknowledges that Avanquest has not promised or guaranteed to Licensee that the
Pre-release Software will be announced or made available to anyone in the future, and that
Avanquest has no express or implied obligation to Licensee to announce or introduce the
Pre-release Software. Avanquest may decide not to introduce a product similar to, or compatible
with, the Pre-release Software. Accordingly, Licensee acknowledges that any research or
development that Licensee performs regarding the Pre-release Software, or any product associated
with the Pre-release Software, is done entirely at Licensee’s own risk.
During the term of this EULA, if requested by Avanquest, Licensee will provide feedback to
Avanquest regarding testing and use of the Pre-release Software, including error or bug reports.
If Licensee has been provided the Pre-release Software pursuant to a separate written agreement,
then Licensee’s use of the Pre-release Software is also governed by that agreement.
Notwithstanding anything in this EULA to the contrary, if Licensee is located outside the United
States, Licensee will return or destroy all unreleased versions of the Pre-release Software within 30
days of the completion of Licensee’s testing of the Pre-release Software if that date is earlier than
the date scheduled for Avanquest’s first commercial shipment of the publicly released (commercial)
software.
MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE. If you purchased this Licensed Software and, within 90 days of
purchase, you are not completely satisfied with the Licensed Software, you may return it directly to
Avanquest for your money back. This right to return the Licensed Software is in addition to your
right to return the Licensed Software for a replacement under the Limited Warranty on Media. To
receive a full refund from Avanquest you must return the product box with the UPC bar code still
intact, disc(s), all print materials from inside product box and your original dated store receipt
showing price paid for the Licensed Software (copy accepted). On a piece of paper, please provide
your first and last name, address (including street, city, state and zip code), phone number, email
address and a brief explanation as to why you are returning the product. Send materials via a
traceable method to: Returns Department, Avanquest North America Inc., 15001 Meridian
Parkway A, Riverside, CA, 92518. All returned packages are required to have a valid tracking
number. In the event that a package gets lost or misplaced, Avanquest can only credit customers
who have a tracking number showing proof of delivery to Avanquest. We recommend sending your
package via U.S. Postal Service’s Media Mail Service and request Delivery Confirmation. A full
refund will not be given if any of the aforementioned materials are not returned to Avanquest.
Return requests missing any of the aforementioned materials will be destroyed. Partial refunds will
not be given. Shipping and/or handling charges for returned product will not be refunded by
Avanquest. Sales tax charged by retailer will not be refunded by Avanquest. Sales tax charged for
Licensed Software purchased at www.avanquest.com is fully refundable. All refunds will be made
via check. Nothing contained in this section will waive or limit any of the provisions of any other
section of this EULA.
SURVIVAL OF DISCLAIMERS. The exclusions of warranties and liability limitations shall
survive the termination of this EULA, howsoever caused; but this survival shall not imply or create
any continued right to use the Licensed Software after termination of this EULA.
EXPORT RULES. Licensee shall not ship, transfer, or export Licensed Software into any country
or use Licensed Software in any manner prohibited by the United States Export Administration Act
or any other export laws, restrictions, or regulations (collectively the “Export Laws”). If the
Licensed Software is identified as export controlled items under the Export Laws, Licensee
represents and warrants that Licensee, and Licensee’s employees who will use the Licensed
Software are not a citizen, or otherwise located within, an nation embargoed by the United States
(including without limitation: Iran, Syria, Sudan, Cuba, Libya and North Korea), and that Licensee,
and Licensee’s employees who will use the Licensed Software, are not otherwise prohibited under
the Export Laws from receiving the Software.
All rights to use the Licensed Software are granted on condition that Licensee complies with the
Export Laws, and all such rights are forfeited if Licensee fails to comply with the Export Laws.
GOVERNING LAW, VENUE AND JURISDICTION. This EULA is subject to, and will be
governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws in force of the State of
California. Any action arising under, relating to or connected with this EULA or the use of the
Licensed Software will be filed only in an appropriate court located in Los Angeles County,
California, and the parties irrevocably consent and submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of
such courts for such purposes. This EULA will not be governed by the conflict of law rules of any
jurisdiction, or the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the
application of which is expressly excluded.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNERSHIP. The Licensed Software and any authorized
copies that Licensee makes are the intellectual property of, and are owned by, Avanquest, and by
third parties whose intellectual property has been licensed by Avanquest. The structure,
organization, and code of the Licensed Software are the valuable trade secrets and confidential
information of Avanquest and such third parties. The Licensed Software is protected by law,
including without limitation, the copyright laws of the United States and other countries, and by
international treaty provisions. Except as expressly provided in this EULA, Licensee is not granted
any intellectual property rights in the Licensed Software.
RESERVATION OF RIGHTS. Avanquest reserves all rights not expressly granted to Licensee by
this EULA. The rights granted to Licensee are limited to Avanquest’s intellectual property rights,
and to the intellectual property rights of third parties licensed by Avanquest. All rights are reserved
under the copyright laws of the United States. Avanquest North America Inc.; 15001 Meridian
Parkway, Suite A; Riverside, CA 92518.
COMPLETE AGREEMENT and BINDING EFFECT. This EULA constitutes the entire
agreement between the Licensee and Avanquest relating to the Licensed Software, and it
supersedes all prior or contemporaneous representations, discussions, undertakings,
communications, agreements, arrangements, advertisements, and understandings regulating the
Licensed Software. This EULA is binding on and made for the benefit of the parties and their
successors and permitted assigns.
MODIFICATION. This EULA may only be modified, supplemented or amended by a writing
signed by an authorized officer of Avanquest.
SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this EULA is determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be contrary to law, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent
permissible, and the remaining provisions of this EULA will remain in full force and effect.
WAIVER. No failure or delay by Avanquest in exercising its rights or remedies shall operate as a
waiver unless made by Avanquest’s specific written notice. No single or partial exercise of any
right or remedy of Avanquest shall operate as a waiver or preclude any other, or further, exercise of
that, or any other right, or remedy.
U.S. GOVERNMENT USERS. The Licensed Software and its Documentation qualify as
“commercial items,” as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. 2.101, consisting of “commercial
computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as such terms are used in
48 C.F.R. 12.212. Consistent with 48 C.F.R.12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4,
Avanquest will provide to the Government end user, the Licensed Software and its Documentation
with only those rights set forth herein that apply to non-governmental customers. Use of the
Licensed Software and its Documentation constitutes agreement by the Government entity that the
Licensed Software and its Documentation are commercial, and constitutes acceptance of the rights
and restrictions herein. The Licensed Software Contractor/Manufacturer is Avanquest North
America Inc. or its applicable licensors.
For U.S. Government End Users, Avanquest agrees to comply with all applicable equal opportunity
laws including, if appropriate, the provisions of Executive Order 11246, as amended, Section 402
of the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 (38 USC 4212), and Section 503
of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and the regulations at 41 CFR Parts 60-1 through
60-60, 60-250, and 60-741. The affirmative action clause and regulations contained in the
preceding sentence shall be incorporated by reference in this EULA.
PROOF OF COMPLIANCE. Within 30 calendar days after request from Avanquest, or
Avanquest's authorized representative, Licensee will provide full documentation, and certify under
penalty of perjury, that Licensee's use of any and all Licensed Software is in conformity with this
EULA.
TERMINATION. If Licensee breaches this EULA, and fails to cure any breach within 30 calendar
days after request from Avanquest, or Avanquest’s authorized representative, Avanquest may
terminate this EULA, whereupon all rights granted to Licensee shall immediately cease.
Furthermore, upon termination, Licensee shall return to Avanquest all copies of the Licensed
Software, or verify in writing that all copies of the Licensed Software have been destroyed.

Chapter 1
Welcome
Welcome to WebEasy®! WebEasy is an easy-to-use website
design program. You can create your own site quickly and easily
without having to learn any behind-the-scenes coding. WebEasy
manages all that for you.
This chapter has the following information:
• “WebEasy Features” on page 2
• “Getting Familiar with WebEasy” on page 2
• “Getting Help” on page 5
Chapter 1: Welcome
WebEasy Features
WebEasy’s many features provide you with everything you need
to create and manage your website easily.
• You can use the Website Assistant wizard to make a website
from provided templates.
• The Media Gallery gives you quick access to provided clip
art and your own media files (including audio and video
files).
• With the Publish Assistant wizard you can upload your new
website easily to the WebEasy hosting service or to a
third-party hosting site.
• The WebEasy hosting service provides an integrated,
affordable, and comprehensive hosting solution for your
website.
• The e-Commerce feature gives you a secure way to sell
products online.
• WebEasy creates code based on the W3C standards;
therefore, the websites are compatible for modern web
browsers (such as Internet Explorer®, Google Chrome®,
Firefox®, and Safari®).
Getting Familiar with WebEasy

You do not need technical or programming skills to create a
complete website for yourself, your family, your organization, or
your business. With WebEasy, you can create a
professional-looking website in four steps:
1. Create a website document.
2. Adjust the design and content in the document.
2 • WebEasy
Chapter 1: Welcome
3. Build the document into a website.

4. Publish the website on the Internet.
Note: Before you start a website document, determine what images and
text you want to have on your website. Think about the
organization that would be effective for your site.
1: Creating WebEasy Documents

WebEasy provides hundreds of pre-designed templates that you
can customize to suit your needs. Most templates have several
linked pages with text and image placeholders.
The Website Assistant guides you through the process of
selecting a template from the many categories and designs and
then customizing the content. You can also select a template and
make all changes in the workspace. For information, see
Chapter 4 “Creating Documents” on page 27.
With specialized templates, you can quickly make a page for an
eBay auction, set up an online photo gallery, or create a blog.
See “Creating Specialized Websites” on page 136 for details.
If you have the skills, you can create a complete website from
scratch. You can build your website one page at a time. The
Website Assistant has blank designs, or you can create web
pages based on a page size in the New Document dialog box. See
“Starting From a Blank Document” on page 34 for details.
2: Modifying Documents
Once you have started a WebEasy website document, you can
modify it as needed. If you used a template, you can change the
provided text and graphics as needed.
WebEasy • 3
Chapter 1: Welcome
You can add:

• More text, graphics, and shapes (See Chapter 6 “Working
with Items” on page 53, Chapter 7 “Working with Images
and Shapes” on page 73, Chapter 8 “Working with Text and
Tables” on page 93 for information.)
• Links to other pages, other websites, or files to download
(For information, see “Adding and Changing Pages” on
page 39 and “Adding Multimedia” on page 144. Also, see
“Creating Links” in WebEasy Help.)
• YouTube videos, audio, other Flash files, and animations for
a multimedia-rich site (For details, see Chapter 9 “Integrating
with Other Websites” on page 105 and “Adding Multimedia”
on page 144.)
Using Advanced Features

In addition to multimedia, you can add specialized WebWidgets
and other objects (such as a visitor counter). See Chapter 11
“Adding Enhanced Features” on page 135.
WebEasy provides Search Engine Optimization (SEO) features
to get your site recognized by search engines. See “SEO
Assistant wizard” in WebEasy Help.
To sell products online, you can sign up with an e-commerce
provider to process payments. You then add e-commerce buttons
to create an online shop. See “Adding e-Commerce Features” on
page 139.
If you have the skills, you can add customized code and scripts
to enhance your site. See “Adding Scripts” on page 150.
4 • WebEasy
Chapter 1: Welcome
3: Previewing and Building Websites

If you use a third-party hosting service, you need to build your
website before you can publish it. When building your
document, WebEasy converts the design into the code needed to
view the pages online. You specify the type of coding and
WebEasy does all the work for you! See “Building the Website
Package for Third-Party Hosting” on page 124.
4: Publishing Online
The final step of the process is to store all the files online. With
WebEasy Hosting building and publishing is one easy step. See
“Building and Publishing to WebEasy Hosting” on page 122 or
“Publishing to a Third-Party Web Hosting Service” on page 125
Note: You must have an active Internet connection and information from
your web hosting service to publish your website online.
Getting Help
WebEasy includes a variety of tools to help you find the answers
you need.
Accessing Online Help

WebEasy provides help systems for the program and certain

Chapter 4
Creating Documents
This chapter focuses on creating WebEasy documents, which is
the first of the four steps involved in creating a website. You also
learn how to save and back up your documents.
Note: WebEasy must build the website (by converting all pages and
graphics into web-compatible formats) before you can publish it
(transfer files to your ISP or web host provider).

Chapter 4: Creating Documents
Understanding WebEasy Documents

There are four steps involved in creating a website when using
WebEasy:
1. Create a website document.
2. Adjust the design and content in the document.
3. Build the document into a website.
4. Publish the website on the Internet.
In step 1, the WebEasy document is the basis for your website.
There are three ways to start a new document in WebEasy:
• Use the Website Assistant. This takes you step-by-step
through the stages of customizing the text and images in a
WebEasy template to create your document.
• Develope a document by using one of WebEasy’s
professionally designed templates in the workspace. In the
workspace, replace the images and text with your own and
add more items if you wish.
• Open a blank document and create your own web pages
by designing them from scratch. WebEasy offers a choice
of blank project templates with preset page sizes (for
example, a six-page on-screen website). Add your own
images and text to the document.
You can also import an existing website to create a WebEasy
document. For information about importing web pages, see
WebEasy Help.
Note: How well a website imports depends on the website’s design and
coding. WebEasy cannot guarantee that it can import all websites
correctly.
28 • WebEasy
With WebEasy, creating a document is similar to using a word

processor. If you use a template, each page has placeholder text
and graphics that you can customize as needed.
Note: After creating and designing the document, you then have
WebEasy build a website from it for you to upload to the Internet.
Using the Website Assistant to Create

Documents
The Website Assistant provides templates to create a WebEasy
document that you then publish as your website. The Website
Assistant guides you through the process for adjusting the design
and, depending on the template, suggests content changes. Using
this wizard is the quickest and easiest way to develop a website.
Note: The Website Assistant also has specialized templates for creating
web photo albums, pages for an eBay® auction, blogs, and other
specialized sites. (See “Creating Specialized Websites” on
page 136 for more information.)
The templates have placeholder images and text. You may use
your own images and text as you go through the Website
Assistant wizard. If you don’t replace the images and text in the
wizard, you can replace them in the workspace.
Note: The following procedure gives general information about using the
Website Assistant. The actual steps depend on the template.
To create a document with the Website Assistant:

1. Choose New > Website Wizard from the WebEasy menu.
2. In the Website Assistant wizard, click Next.
WebEasy • 29
3. In the Select a template style for your Website list, select a

category.
The templates with ‘wizard’ in their titles are for creating a
special type of web page such as a web photo album. See
“Adding Enhanced Features” on page 135 for details.
4. In the list below the category, select a template.
5. In the Preview area, click the buttons on the right to view
different pages of the template.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 until you find a template that you like.
7. If available, click the Recommended Style Selection button.
In the Template Style dialog box, select a style category from
the list, select a thumbnail for a specific style, and click OK.
In general, recommended styles apply different colors to the
design. Some styles change the layout.
8. Then click Next.
9. Type a name for your document in the Name box.
30 • WebEasy
10. If you wish, specify a different folder for saving your

document by clicking the Browse button. In the Choose
Folder dialog box, locate and select a folder, and click Open.
WebEasy normally saves documents with an ALB extension
in the Documents\WebEasy\Documents folder.
11. Click Next.
12. If the template requests that you to enter information, such as
personal or business details, type this information and then
click Next.
You don’t have to enter the information now. You can change
text when the document opens in the workspace.
Note: Depending on the template there may be several screens of

text changes.
13. If the template has placeholder images, replace the

placeholders in the template with your own images, and then
click Next.
You can skip this step and add your images later.
To specify a different set of images, click the Browse button
above the Images list. In the Browse for Folder dialog box,
locate and select the folder with the images. Click OK.
Select an image and then click >. Alternatively, to load all
the images, click >>. WebEasy sequentially replaces the
placeholders.
14. If asked about adjusting the layout, make any needed
adjustments, and click Next.
To change the color scheme, select a theme from the Color
Theme list. (This changes the color boxes in the Color
section.)
WebEasy • 31
To change the fonts, click the Font box, make changes in the
Font dialog box, and click OK.
To change individual colors, click a color box, select a color
in the Color palette, and then click x to close the palette.
To adjust the position of the logo, select either Left justified or
Right justified. To remove the logo, select No logo.
To adjust other features in the Features area, select or clear
the available check boxes.
As with the other screens, you can skip this step and change
the text in the workspace.
15. On the Congratulations! screen, to see what the site looks
like in your default browser, select the Preview website now
check box.
16. To add an RSS feed to your site, select the Add RSS to your
website check box. For information about RSS feeds, see
“Adding RSS” on page 148.
17. Click Finish.
Your document appears in the WebEasy workspace, ready for
editing. If you selected Preview website now, your default
browser opens with the website showing.
Using Templates to Create Documents

You can use WebEasy templates to design professional-looking
websites. Select a template that suits your style, and then
customize it with your own images and text.
By using the Website command, you make all changes in the
workspace (instead of in the Website Assistant).
32 • WebEasy
To create a document from a template:

1. Choose New > Website from the WebEasy menu.
2. In the New Document dialog box, in the category list on the

left, select a design category.
3. In the area below, select a template.
4. In the Preview area, click the buttons on the right to view
different pages of the template.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 until you find a template that you like.
6. If available, click the Recommended Style Selection button.
In the Template Style dialog box, select a style category from
the list, select a thumbnail for a specific style, and click OK.
In general, the recommended styles apply different colors to
the design. Some styles change the layout.
7. Click OK.
Note: In the New Document dialog box you can also import an existing
website to use as a WebEasy document. How well a website
imports depends on the website’s design and coding.
WebEasy • 33
Starting From a Blank Document

If you are familiar with web page design, you can design your
website document from scratch. You can use the New Document
dialog box and select the Blanks category for a document with
several blank pages, but you can also start from a single, blank
page.
To create a new document:
• Open the WebEasy menu and choose New > Blank
Document.
A blank, single-page document opens in the workspace.
You can now add pages, backgrounds, insert images, and use all
the WebEasy features to design your document. See subsequent
chapters for information.
Saving Documents
You can save documents as documents, as templates, or as a
backup archive.
Saving Your Documents

You may want to save a document immediately after creating it
— particularly if you went through the Website Assistant and
made changes in the wizard.
To save a document:
1. Open the WebEasy menu and choose Save.
2. If you’ve saved this document before, you are done.
If you haven’t saved this document before, then in the Save
As Document dialog box, locate and open the folder where
you want to save your document.
3. Type a name for the document in the File name box.
34 • WebEasy
4. Make sure the Save as type box shows Document (*.ALB).

5. Click Save.
To save a document in a new location or with a new name:

1. Open the WebEasy menu and choose Save As > Document.
2. In the Save As Document dialog box, to save the document in
a new location, locate and open the folder where you want to
save your document.
3. To give the document a different name, type a name for the
document in the File name box.
4. Click Save.
Saving as a Template
By saving a document as a template, you create a personal
template that you can use to design other documents in the same
style or use to add pages to the existing website.
To save a document as a template:
1. Open the WebEasy menu and choose Save As > Template.
2. In the Save As Document dialog box, locate and open the
folder where you want to save your document.
Note: If you save a the template into the WebEasy Templates folder
and in a category folder, it becomes available in the Website
Assistant and in the New Document dialog box.
3. Type a name for the document in the File name box.

4. In the Save as type box, verify that it shows Template
(*.TPL).
5. Click Save.
WebEasy • 35
Saving Backup Archives

By saving a document as a backup archive, WebEasy copies the
document and all linked files (such as graphic and audio files) to
a different folder. You can then copy the entire folder to
removable media or move your design to another computer.
Do not use this for normal saving because it takes up more disk
space than when saving a document.
To save a backup archive:
1. Open the WebEasy menu and choose Save As > Backup
Archive.
2. In the Backup Website Document dialog box, locate and open
the folder for the backup. (Make sure to save the backup in a
different location than the original file.)
3. Type a name for the archive in the File name box.
4. Click Save.
Note: Making an archive takes up significant disk space. Only use it

when you need an extra copy of all the files included in the
document.

Many templates have images that you can easily replace with
your own. You can rotate, crop, frame, and apply effects to
images.
You can draw shapes (such as rectangles, lines, and circles)
directly on document pages.

can remove the effects from the image by opening the Effects
dialog box and then clicking the Clear All button.
Animating Images
WebEasy provides three ways to animate images: creating
animated GIF Images, creating rollover images, and applying a
path to an image.
84 • WebEasy
Creating Animated GIF Images

You can make an animated image with WebEasy’s Animated
GIF Component Assistant. You can create animated GIF images
using your own images.
Note: To use your own images, you must have the GIF images available
before starting the assistant.
To create an animated GIF:

1. Choose New > Animated GIF from the WebEasy menu.
2. In the Animated GIF Component Assistant wizard, click
Next.
3. Select a template style for the image: Commercial or Logo,

and click Next.
With the Commercial style, the animation can have three
states, which are all the same size. With the Logo style, the
animation can have five states of increasing size.
You can preview the selected style by clicking the buttons to
the right of the Preview area.
WebEasy • 85
4. If you wish, click the Browse button. In the Choose Folder

dialog box, locate and select a folder for saving the image.
Click Open.
By default, WebEasy saves animated GIF images to your
Documents folder.
5. In the Name box, type a name for the image and click Next.
86 • WebEasy
6. Click the Select Folder button at the top of the Images list.
In the Browse for Folder dialog box, locate and select the
folder that has the GIF files for the animation. Click OK.
7. In the Images list, select an image for the animation and then
click the > button. (Use the arrow buttons above the Preview
area to specify which placeholder to replace.)
8. Repeat step 7 for each image to add to the animation.
The Commercial style animation uses three images. The
Logo style uses five. When you’ve added enough images,
WebEasy beeps. If you have multiple images in the folder,
you can add all the images (up to the maximum number) by
clicking the >> button.
9. Once you have the images added, verify them by clicking the
buttons above the Preview area.
To remove an image, show it in the Preview area and click
the < button. To remove all the images, click the << button.
10. Click Next.
11. Select the Build animated GIF now check box.
12. Click Finish.
13. In the Build Animated GIF dialog box, specify the options
for the GIF file.
You can change the size of the GIF animation. Click the
Advanced button to change the palette, the color depth, page
effect, page duration, specify a color to make transparent, or
make the file interleaved.
14. Select the Run now check box to see the animated file.
15. Click OK.
If you selected Run now, the animation shows in your default
browser. WebEasy opens the file as a document in the
WebEasy • 87
workspace. You can now copy and paste the GIF animation to
insert the image into a document or insert it as you would any
other image.
Creating GIF Animations from Scratch

You can also create an animated GIF from scratch as a WebEasy
document that you build as an animated GIF file. By using this
method, you have more flexibility in creating animations. See
WebEasy Help for details.
Creating Rollover Images

Often rollover images are used as links to other pages, but you
can use them without links for visual appeal on your pages. The
image changes when the pointer is over the image.
The Rollover Assistant provides a standard two-stage rollover
image. Have the images you want to use available before
opening the Rollover Assistant.
You can add additional image layers and text layers. With
WebEasy, you can also add popups (usually ToolTip-like text,
but you can use images) that appear next to the rollover image in
its active state.
For detailed information, see WebEasy Help.
Applying Paths to Images

You can use the Path Animation feature to make images move
on your web pages. For details, see “Creating Animated Items”
on page 148.
88 • WebEasy
Exporting Images
When you create a GIF image, you export the document as a
series of image files. You can also export images of entire pages
or export a selected item to save it as an image (or in another
image format). For details, see WebEasy Help.
Drawing and Editing Shapes

WebEasy provides tools to draw and edit shapes and lines. You
can create shapes from straight lines, curves, polygons,
polylines, rectangles, and ovals.
You can edit shapes by dragging handles or adjusting the colors,
line thickness, and fills. You can add shadows to the shapes.

Tables
You can insert text and edit and format the text as needed. You
can have as many text frames on a page as you like.
If your website requires tabular data, you can add a table and
format the text in the table.

Chapter 8: Working with Text and Tables
About Text in WebEasy

Text in WebEasy is in a text frame. After typing text, you can
move the text frame around the page and treat it like other items
on the page.
About Text Frame Modes

A text frame has two modes: Object mode and Edit mode.
• In Object mode, the text frame appears with a transparent
background and with handles. You move the frame around
and can add fills, shadows, and other effects to the frame.
To select a text frame, click the text item once.

• In Edit mode, the text appears as plain black text on a white
background. An insertion point indicates where you can type.
In this mode, you edit the text by adding, changing, and
deleting characters.
To enter Edit mode, double-click a text frame. To exit Edit

mode, click outside the text frame.
In general, keep each text frame larger than the text in the frame.
Some browsers might display text in a larger font, and any text
that doesn’t fit into the text frame won’t appear.
94 • WebEasy
Types of Text
WebEasy has three types of text you can add: Plain Text, Rich
Text, and Graphic Text. You can use your choice of fonts, styles,
sizes, colors, and more with each of these.
• Plain Text uses the same style for all the text within the text
frame. You can specify a different font, style, or color, but
the change applies to all the text in that frame. This is the
most efficient type of text for having on a page.
• With Rich Text you can apply different styles to text in the
same frame. You can create links within the frame and create
bullets, numbered lists, indents, tables, and other forms of
text. You can select text and use standard shortcuts for
creating bold (CTRL+B), italic (CTRL+I), and underlined
(CTRL+U) text.
• Graphic Text is for non-standard fonts and unusual text

effects such as applying gradients or textures or having
shadowed text. WebEasy converts text within the text frame
into a graphic on the web page. It’s best to use graphic text
with larger size fonts because the text might be difficult to
read at small font sizes.
WebEasy • 95
You can align text within the frame to the left, center, right, or
justified to the left and right edges.
You can convert Plain Text to Rich Text or Rich Text to Plain
Text. To do so, select the text frame, and click Rich Text
Formatting on the Home tab. When converting from Rich Text
to Plain Text, in the confirmation message box, click Yes.
Inserting Text
You can insert your own text or pre-defined text into a page.
Inserting New Text

When you insert new text, WebEasy creates a new text frame.
To insert text into a document:
2. In the Text section, click Plain Text, Rich Text, or Graphic
Text.
3. Move the pointer to the page and click where you want to
place the new text.
4. Double-click the new text item.
5. Select the placeholder text and type your text.
6. After you finish, click anywhere outside the text frame.
96 • WebEasy
Adding Text with the Text Assistant

A quick and easy way to add text to your document is to use
ready-made text items from the Text Assistant. The Text
Assistant has text organized into categories for specific uses
(such as Web Site or Wedding).
To add ready-made text:
1. On the Home tab, click the Text Assistant button. (CTRL+T)
2. In the Text Assistant palette, select a catalog from the
Catalog list.
3. Select a text item from that catalog.
4. Drag the text onto the page.
If you use text of your own frequently (such as contact
information), you can add it to the Text Assistant. For details,
about this and creating custom catalogs, see WebEasy Help.
Inserting Exif Information

You can insert text that has information about digital photos:
Exif (Exchangeable Image File Format) information. You may
want to use this in a photo gallery or as a caption for photos on
your website.
To insert Exif information:
2. In the Insert section, click Picture > Photo Information.
3. In the Choose Image dialog box, locate and select the digital
photo. Then click Open.
4. Click the pointer on the page to insert the text item.
After inserting the text item, you can edit the text and move and
resize the text frame.
WebEasy • 97
For details about extracting Exif information or inserting it on a

page, see WebEasy Help.
Editing and Formatting Text

Text appears in WebEasy in a text frame. When selected, the text
frame has handles, like other items do.
Adjusting Text Frames

You can move the text frame around the page like other items on
your page. If you drag the handles on a text frame, you change
the size of the frame but not the size of the text. To change the
size of the text, press ALT as you resize the frame.
Note: Keep your text frames larger than the area taken up by the text
because some browsers may display text in a larger font. Any text
that does not fit into the text frame may not appear.
Editing Text
There are two ways to edit text:
• Double-click the text frame. Use the insertion point to select
text to change or delete. You can add more text at the
insertion point.
• Select a text frame and then click the Edit Content button on
the Home tab. In the Edit Text dialog box, you edit the text as
with a word processor. This dialog box also provides some
ready-made text that you can easily add.
Note: If the selected text is in a Rich Text frame, HTML tags (such
as <H1> and </H1>) appear with the text’s characters in the
Edit Text dialog box. Unless you understand HTML coding,
don’t change anything between the angle brackets (< >).
98 • WebEasy
In addition, WebEasy provides a spell checker. To check

spelling, click the Spelling button on the Review and Tools tab.
You can also specify Spell Checker settings and add words to
your user dictionary. For details, see Spell Checker Help.
Formatting Text
You can select text and change the font, style, color, size, and
alignment. With Plain Text and Graphic Text, you change all the
text in the frame. With Rich Text you can select text to format
characters differently within the frame.
Making Multiple Formatting Changes

You can use the Font dialog box to make multiple changes
quickly.
To format text:
1. Select the text.
2. On the Home tab, click the Change text font button.

Adding Multiple Bookmark Icons

With all the bookmark WebWidgets that WebEasy provides, you
could have a range of icons on your website. In general, use the
individual icons if you want to provide bookmarking for a few
sites. If you want a comprehensive solution, WebEasy has three
WebWidgets that give your visitors access to multiple icons.
Adding a Static Multiple Bookmark Bar

In the WebWidget tab, WebEasy provides a single WebWidget
that includes all twelve bookmarks. After you click to position
this WebWidget, you may need to adjust the wide bar on the
page.
WebEasy • 107
• In the list on the WebWidgets tab of the Insert Object dialog

box, select Bookmarking Social Networks.
• After you click the pointer, in the Object Properties dialog
box, adjust the values in the following parameters: Title,
Source URL, and Button Label. Also, you can provide
keywords.
Adding a Dynamic Bookmark Bar

AddThis is a bookmark sharing service that you can use to add a
dynamic list of bookmark icons to your site. WebEasy provides
WebWidgets for two AddThis bookmark bars.
When viewed on the web page, a small bar appears that expands
when a visitor moves the pointer over it. These two bookmarks
are identical except one shows BOOKMARK in the bar and the
other shows SHARE. In the expanded view visitors can click one
of many sites to add the bookmark (including sites that aren’t
available as WebWidgets, such as LinkedIn).
To add multiple, dynamic bookmarking icons:
• In the list on the WebWidgets tab of the Insert Object dialog
box, select Bookmark on AddThis (Add) or Bookmark on
AddThis (Share).
• After you click the pointer, in the Object Properties dialog
box, adjust the values in the following parameters: Title and
Source URL.
To test an AddThis bookmark, you must publish the site online.

Building and Publishing
Your Website
Building your document is a process that organizes your website
files so they can be uploaded to the remote server. Publishing
your website involves uploading all the files to the remote server
so that it is accessible to visitors on the Internet. With WebEasy
Hosting, you can use the Publish button to automatically build
and publish your website.
If you are using a third-party hosting service, you need to build
your website before you transfer or upload the files.
• “Before You Build Your Website” on page 122

page 124
• “Viewing Your Website” on page 129
• “Maintaining Your Website” on page 130
Chapter 10: Building and Publishing Your Website
Before You Build Your Website

Know the kind of website are you building. You can build your
document into four types of websites:
• An XHTML website with CSS has cascading style sheet
support, but does not support some dynamic effects, such as
scenes or page transitions found in DHTML web pages. It
uses stricter coding standards than are necessary for HTML.
With today’s standards, this is the preferable type to use.
These sites should work as expected in all modern browsers.
• An HTML website with CSS is similar to XHTML sites,
but does not use the stricter XHTML standards. These sites
should work as expected in all modern browsers.
• A dynamic website (DHTML) has extra features, such as
page transitions, scenes, and other Dynamic HTML
(DHTML) effects. Even if you build a DHTML site, the
DHTML features may not work in all browsers or with the
settings that some visitors apply to their browsers.
• A simple website (HTML) has basic features without extras,
such as rollover images, page transitions, or animated text
and objects. These sites should be viewable in modern and
older browsers. Use this for eBay auction pages or in any
situation where you cannot use CSS.
Building and Publishing to WebEasy

Hosting
Building and Publishing to WebEasy Hosting is quick and
simple. WebEasy automatically creates the website package file
(a TXT file) with information about which files to transfer to the
remote computer at WebEasy Hosting. Then, WebEasy
automatically publishes your website.
122 • WebEasy
To build and publish your document to WebEasy Hosting:

1. On the WebEasy Hosting tab, click Publish.
2. Enter your WebEasy Hosting user name and password.
Note: If you have not set up your WebEasy Hosting account, click I
don’t have a user name and password to set up your
account.
3. Choose the website you want to publish. If needed, click

Browse Folder to locate the file.
4. In the Select a domain dialog box, choose one or more
domains where you want your website published.
WebEasy • 123
5. Click Next to publish your website.

6. After the files have been uploaded successfully, click the
site’s link to verify the website. (If you selected multiple
domains, the wizard has links to each.)
7. To close the wizard, click Finish.
Note: You may need to reload the page in the browser or clear the
browser’s Internet cache to see the updated pages.
Building and Publishing to Third-Party

Website Hosting
Before you publish your website, you need to build it by
converting the WebEasy document into files that work on the
Web. Once you have built the website package, you can publish
it to your hosting service.
Building the Website Package for

Third-Party Hosting
WebEasy creates a website package file (a TXT file) with
information about which files to transfer to the remote computer.
You choose a folder on your hard drive to save the so they can
be uploaded to the hosting server.
To build your document for third-party hosting:
1. On the Review and Tools tab, click Build.
The Build Dynamic Website dialog box appears. Your dialog
box may show different information, depending on the type
of website you are building.
124 • WebEasy
2. Choose how you want to set up the location:

• Click the browse folder icon to the right of the Folder
box and choose a location.
• Click OK it you want WebEasy to create a folder for
you.
3. Confirm the settings and click OK.
WebEasy creates the website package and returns to the
desktop.
Publishing to a Third-Party Web

Hosting Service
WebEasy provides two options for publishing your site to
another hosting service.
• The Publish Assistant wizard guides you through the steps.
• The FTP Max utility lets you upload your files using FTP.
WebEasy • 125
Note: File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a common method for securely

transferring files from a private computer to a public web-hosting
server. Your web hosting service must also support FTP.
Using the Publish Assistant

You can use Publish Assistant to publish your website to the
Internet.
Your Connection Profile

When you upload a website package the first time, you set up a
Connection Profile that is saved for future use. Your Connection
Profile includes information about your website on your hosting
service. Before you publish, make sure you have information
from your hosting service, such as the host name or IP address,
your user name and password, your website URL, and the target
folder on the hosting server where your files are to be uploaded.
To publish your site to a web hosting service with the
Publish Assistant:
1. On the Review and Tools tab, click 3rd Party Publish.
2. In the Publish Assistant wizard, click Next.
126 • WebEasy
3. On the left, select the website folder to upload.

If the folder to upload doesn’t appear in the Website
packages list, click the Browse button. Locate the package
and click Open.
4. Review the included files shown on the right by clicking the
navigation buttons.
5. Click Next, and then click Connect.
6. In the Connection Profile dialog box, type in a name for the
profile.
7. Complete the remaining fields.
8. Click OK.
9. After the connection is established (which may take a few
minutes), click Next.
WebEasy • 127
10. To remove any old files, select the Cleaning the selected
website check box.
When selected, if WebEasy finds any files at the remote site
that are not required for the current package, it deletes them.
If you have subfolders for this site, keep this check box clear
so the subfolders are not deleted.
11. Click Next.
12. If you wish, select the check box(es) to view the website or
to view a report.
13. Click Finish.
If you asked to view a report, it appears in your default browser.
If you asked to view both the report and the website, the report
appears first and then the website appears. To return to the
report, click the browser’s Back arrow.
Publishing with FTP Max

As an alternative to the WebEasy Hosting Services Publishing
wizard or the Publish Assistant, advanced users can publish
websites using FTP Max, an easy-to-use FTP utility. With it you
can transfer files to and from your remote server and manage
your remote files. The remote server must support FTP to use
this option.
To run FTP Max and upload your files:
1. On the Review and Tools tab, click Transfer Files.
The FTP Max utility opens and
128 • WebEasy
2. In the Connect dialog box, if the profile is not yet set up,
enter the information to create your profile.
3. Click OK.
4. After the connection is established, to transfer the files, in the
FTP Max window, specify the remote folder, if necessary, in
the top area.
5. Locate the folder with the files in the Local Folder box.
6. Select the folder or open the folder and select the files in the
lower panel.
7. Then click Upload.
8. After the transfer completes, click Finish.
Viewing Your Website

After publishing your site, you should always view it in a
browser to see if everything transferred correctly.
It’s a good practice to view it in several different browsers to
understand your visitors’ experience. You may need to make
some adjustments if the website appears differently in browsers.
WebEasy • 129
Maintaining Your Website

After you’ve published your website on the Internet, you can
update it with WebEasy.
To update your website:
1. Open the website document in WebEasy.
2. Make the required changes.
3. Build new HTML files to replace the previous ones.
4. Publish your website again.
WebEasy remembers the information you entered previously, so
the process is shorter the next time. When uploading, WebEasy
checks the date and time of each file against those on the server.
It only uploads newer files to your web space unless you
specifically tell it to remove older files.
To publish your document to the third-party hosting website:
1. On the Review and Tools tab, click 3rd Party Publish.
2. After the Publish Assistant wizard opens, click Next.
3. Select a website package to publish and click Next.

Creating Specialized Websites

With WebEasy you can create specialized websites by using
wizards in the WebSite Assistant. The specialized sites include:
• Photo album sites
• Pages for eBay auctions
• Blog sites
• iPhone and mobile phone sites
Creating a Photo Album Website

The Website Assistant includes a Photo Album wizard for
creating web pages that are professional-looking photo galleries.
You can specify a page style and fill it with thumbnail images of
the photos to display.
Before creating the site, you may want to place all the images for
the album into a single folder on your computer.
To create a photo album website, you use the Website Assistant.
Select Photo Album Wizard in the Family and Personal
category. For details, see WebEasy Help.
Creating an eBay Auction Page

You can use the eBay wizard to create a personalized auction
listing that you can use on eBay. You can customize the text for
your auction.
Note: You must have an eBay seller account before you can create an
eBay auction. Be sure that you read and understand eBay’s Terms
of Service before you post any items for sale on eBay.
136 • WebEasy
You can insert a photo into your auction description if you have
a digital or scanned photo of your auction item that is stored on
your personal website or with an online photo-hosting service
somewhere on the Web. Have the URL for the photo available
before going through the wizard.
Note: If your auction photo is on your own computer, you must use
eBay’s standard photo hosting services to transfer photos from
your computer to the eBay servers. For information, see eBay’s
online help.
Read the instructions and recommendations on eBay for

designing the page. Use these guidelines:
• Use Plain Text and Rich Text items only. (Do not insert
Graphic Text.)
• Use only solid colors as backgrounds or foregrounds.
• In general, do not use images except for one image that is
available online. Have the URL for that image available. To
use other images on the page, see WebEasy Help for details.
• Do not use links to other pages or websites.
• Only have one page in your site.
• Do not have overlapping objects on your page design.
To create an eBay page, you use the Website Assistant. Select
eBay Wizard in the Business category. For details, see
WebEasy Help.
Creating Blogs
Blogs (Web Logs) are specialized sites where a user posts
regular entries for visitors to read. In addition to creating a blog
site with WebEasy, you can link to a personal account from a
blogging site.
WebEasy • 137
To create a blogging website, you use the Website Assistant.

Select Blog Wizard in the Family and Personal category. For
details, see WebEasy Help.
Creating Websites Compatible with

Mobile Devices
You can create websites that work with iPhones and other
mobile devices. The mobile device templates are smaller, so they
fit the mobile device’s screen better than a full-sized site.
To create a mobile-device website, you use the Website
Assistant. Select the iPhone and Mobile photo category and
then select a template. For details, see WebEasy Help.
After creating a website for mobile devices you can add a
redirect script so visitors who use mobile devices see the
optimized site instead of the regular site. For details, see
“Redirecting to a Mobile-Optimized Site” in WebEasy Help.
Changing Scenes
Scenes are pages that change appearance based on the time of
day, the day of the month, a season, or another factor. You can
only have scenes with a DHTML site.
The Scenes Assistant helps you adjust images, text, or
backgrounds on the same website page based on conditions. A
visitor to your website experiences these themes. For example,
the theme called Day of the Week might display different
marketing slogans on Monday, Tuesday, or Sunday.
• A Theme is a collection of the scenes available based on
specified factors, such as the day of the week.
138 • WebEasy
• A Scene is a website page design prepared for a particular

instance from the theme collection, such as Monday,
summer, or Mother’s Day.
For details about creating scenes, see WebEasy Help.
Adding e-Commerce Features

You can add features to your website for visitors to purchase
products online. To do this, you sign up with an e-commerce
vendor for payment processing. With WebEasy you can select
from five different vendors.
WARNING: INFORMATION ABOUT VENDORS OTHER THAN THE

WEBEASY PAYMENTS SOLUTION ARE PROVIDED WITHOUT
SUPPORT. WEBEASY DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE AVAILABILITY
OF ESHOP BUTTONS FOR VENDORS OTHER THAN THE WEBEASY
PAYMENTS SOLUTION THROUGH THE PROGRAM.
Design your website document and include the eShop buttons

for the products you sell.
Recommendations
When setting up your e-commerce website, take care to select a
vendor who suits your needs. Evaluate the vendors’ websites to
determine their terms and conditions and what fees they charge.
In the E-Commerce Vendor Assistant, WebEasy provides a link
to each vendor’s site. You can also click E-Commerce >
Vendor’s Website.
If you use an e-commerce template, the default objects won’t
work properly on the Internet without the correct settings
required by the vendor. Before building the site, delete or edit
the e-commerce demonstration objects in the templates.
WebEasy • 139
If e-commerce features do not work correctly, you may need to

make adjustments to the scripts. To do so, select the button on
the page and click Script > Custom Script on the Insert and
Modify tab. In general, do not modify scripts unless you
understand HTML and the scripting language.
Creating an eShop
Please be aware of all rules and requirements your state, your
country, and international law imposes on e-commerce business
activities.
Note: See WebEasy Help for more information about an e-commerce

vendor’s specific requirements and to learn about a vendor’s set of
e-commerce objects. Some vendors may not have all objects
available. Use the procedure as a guide only.
To create an eShop in a document:

2. In the Insert section, click E-Commerce > Select Vendor.
3. In the E-Commerce Vendor Assistant, click Next. Then click
a tab to select the vendor that best suits your needs and
follow the instructions.
4. If you haven’t already, sign up with the vendor to use their
services.
5. Follow the vendor’s instructions on how to set up your
e-commerce service on the Internet.
For the WebEasy and 2Checkout solutions, you must create
and add items to a product database before designing your
website. You can then use the values in the product database
when you add the e-commerce buttons to your website.
140 • WebEasy

Adding Dynamic Links

With the help of Internet vendors, you can add components to
your page that are dynamically updated by third parties, such as
news, weather reports, stock market prices, or advertising. By
inserting a dynamic link on your site, you can also direct your
visitors to e-shops and services on the Internet. To create your
own eShop, see “Adding e-Commerce Features” on page 139.
You must have an account with the online service to be able to
create a dynamic link.
To add a dynamic link:
2. In the Insert section, click Object > Dynamic Link.
3. In the Dynamic Link Assistant wizard, click Next and follow
the on-screen instructions to insert a dynamic link.
Adding Advanced Objects

WebEasy includes a large selection of ready-to-use objects that
you can insert into your document. These range from simple
design elements (such as colorful page dividers) to advanced
elements (such as forms, navigation bars, VRML, 3D motion
designs, and gadgets).
The iPhone Redirection object automatically detects if a visitor
accesses your website with an iPhone or iPod Touch®. If you
have created a site optimized for viewing on these screens, the
visitor has the option of going to the optimized site.
To add an advanced object to your document:
2. In the Insert section, click the Object button.
142 • WebEasy
3. In the Insert Object dialog box, click a tab to display an

object group:
Click Animations for objects (such as moving text that you

Adding Multimedia
You can easily insert audio, video, and other multimedia to your
website.
Adding Sound Effects or Music

You can add sound to your web page, to specific items on your
web page, or both. If you add sound to a web page, the sound
plays when the page opens. If you add sound to an item, such as
an image, text, or shape, the sound plays when the visitor clicks
the item.
WebEasy provides a collection of audio clips, including sound
effects and music.
WARNING: AUDIO CLIPS PLAY DIFFERENTLY IN HTML AND

DYNAMIC HTML WEBSITES. ALSO, YOU SHOULD NOT ASSUME
THAT ALL USERS HAVE THE APPROPRIATE PLUG-INS INSTALLED
ON THEIR COMPUTER — OR EVEN HAVE A SOUND CARD. USERS
MAY HAVE THEIR BROWSERS SET TO NOT SUPPORT SCRIPTS
THAT ARE REQUIRED TO PLAY AUDIO FILES.
To add sound to a web page:

1. Open the page.
Effects > Page Audio.
144 • WebEasy
3. In the Background Audio dialog box, select the Enable page

background audio check box.
4. To have the audio clip only play once, clear the Loop check
box. (By default, the audio plays continuously.)
5. Click the Browse button. In the Browse dialog box, locate
and select the audio file. Click Open.
By default, the Browse dialog box opens to the
WebEasy/Audio/Effects folder.
6. To listen to the audio file, click the Play button. To stop the
playback, click the Stop button.
7. Click OK.
To add sound to an item on a page:

1. Select the item for linking the sound clip.
2. On the Home tab, click the Link button in the Page section.
3. In the Link dialog box, in the Link Type list, select Audio
File.
WebEasy • 145
4. Click the Audio Files button in the Browse area. In the

Browse dialog box, locate and select the audio file and click
Open.
5. To test the sound, click the Play button.
6. To stop playing the file before it ends, click the Stop button.
7. Click OK.
Adding Multimedia Objects

You can easily insert movies, flash video, or other multimedia
files into your document.
The multimedia object won’t run in the document until it has
been built. To quickly view the web page with the multimedia
object, preview the website.
Note: Not all browsers support all multimedia objects.
To insert multimedia from the Media Gallery:

1. Select the item you want to use in the Media Gallery.
If the Media Gallery doesn’t appear in the WebEasy window,
on the Insert and Modify tab, click Media Gallery.
2. Drag to place the file as an object in your document.
You can also insert multimedia available on other websites with
a WebWidget from the Insert Object dialog box. For details, see
Chapter 9 “Integrating with Other Websites” on page 105.
146 • WebEasy
Adding Podcasts
A podcast is a method for including multimedia files on your
website, such as audio or video, that are available for playback
or for downloading.
Note: You can use your RSS feed to tell your site visitors about these
files and then they can view or listen to them on your website.
To add multimedia files to your site, you must have already

created them. For details, see the previous sections or see
WebEasy Help.
Listening to Sound Files

You can use the Multimedia Player to listen to sound files
you’ve inserted onto a page before building the website.
To listen to a sound file:
1. Select the sound file or open a page with page audio.
3. In the Multimedia Player section, click Play.
4. Click Pause to pause the playback or click Stop to stop

playing the file.
Viewing Multimedia Files

With the Multimedia Player you can view multimedia files (such
as AVI and Quick Time movies and animated GIF images) or
listen to sound files in a page while the page is still in document
WebEasy • 147
form. The Multimedia Player works with WAV, MID, AVI,

MOV and other major multimedia formats.
To view a multimedia file:
1. Select a multimedia file.
3. In the Multimedia section, click the Play button.
4. Click Pause or Stop to no longer view the multimedia file.

To adjust the multimedia player or use a placeholder image on
the web page, see WebEasy Help.
Creating Animated Items

You can add interest and excitement to web pages by animating
static objects. For example, you can have text ‘fly in’ a page or
have a graphic move from one location to another.
For details, see this topic in WebEasy Help.
Note: WebEasy also provides some standard animations in the Insert

Object dialog box on the Animations tab.
Adding RSS
Use Really Simple Syndication (RSS) to have the visitors to
your website receive RSS feeds. These feeds automatically keep
site visitors informed about the site’s latest news and
developments. They are especially useful if you frequently
change or add content.
148 • WebEasy
To create RSS content in WebEasy, first create a web page for

WebEasy to use for creating an XML file (the feed) with your
site’s latest information. Then, you add a link to that file into one
of your web pages, generally the main page.
You can create a link to a single line of text, an icon, or an
image. When a visitor clicks the link, the XML file opens in
their browser or RSS reader and displays the RSS information.
Note: Not all browsers recognize RSS feeds. Review each browser’s
documentation for further information.
For details on setting up an RSS feed, see WebEasy Help.
Adding WebWidgets
WebWidgets include tools for social networking, photo-sharing,
and bookmark-sharing sites. For example, you can link to photos
on your Facebook page or in your Flickr account.
You must specify parameters when you insert WebWidgets. For
example, to insert the Album on Flickr® widget, you must
specify your user ID and photo album location. Each widget
includes different parameters for you to set.
For information about inserting WebWidgets with media or links
to other sites, see Chapter 9 “Integrating with Other Websites”
on page 105.
Note: You can also click Objects on the Media Gallery toolbar and
double-click the WebWidgets folder. Drag the appropriate object
onto the web page.
To insert a WebWidget:
2. In the Insert section, click the Object button.
WebEasy • 149

4. Select the object to insert.
5. Click OK.
6. Move the pointer over the page and click to place the object.
7. If the Object Properties (or Embedded Object Properties)
dialog box opens, adjust the values as needed. For details
about inserting WebWidgets, see “Integrating with Other
Websites” on page 105.
8. Click OK.
For many objects, you must preview the site to see the object
correctly.
Adding Scripts
JavaScript is a programming (or script) language. Generally, you
add a script to add functionality of some type to your website.
For example, you can have the script open a separate browser
window or display a message under certain conditions. WebEasy
includes some standard scripts that you can add for
implementing common web design features.
Note: Some visitors may have blocked scripts from running in their
browsers.
For information about using defined scripts (such as for

redirecting pages) or creating custom scripts, see WebEasy Help.

Problem Solving
If you experience problems with WebEasy, you can find answers
to some frequently asked questions and helpful hints here.
• “Problems with Items” on page 152

• “Problems with Links” on page 155
• “Problems When Publishing” on page 156
• “Problems Viewing Sites in a Browser” on page 157
Chapter 12: Problem Solving
Problems with Items
An item on my website is hidden behind another one.

With WebEasy you can layer items from front to back.
To access the item, you can:
• If you don’t want to move the overlaying item, select that
item in front and click the Hide button on the Layout tab.
You should be able to see the item underneath.
• To move the overlaying item but maintain its position on the
page, select it and click Send Backward or Send to Back on
the Layout tab.
A graphic frame does not fit to my image.

If you drag a frame from the Media Gallery onto an image, it
only fits if it is dragged directly onto a selected image. If the
handles do not show, the frame and image will not fit together.
If you have an image and a frame in your document that you
want to fit together, use the Fit dialog box.
To fit an image and a graphic frame:
1. Select the image and the frame.
2. Then click the Fit button on the Layout tab.
3. On the Frame tab, select Fit the frame to the selection or
Fit the selection to the frame.
4. Click OK.
152 • WebEasy
Portrait-oriented images appear as landscape images.

Your digital camera might show all the images you take in
landscape mode. In WebEasy, rotate the images by 90 degrees.
For more information, see “Rotating Images” on page 77.
When I added an oval frame to my image, it did not fit.

Oval frames should be used with oval stencils. If you have
dragged an oval frame onto your image, click Stencil on the
Media Gallery toolbar. Open the Oval folder, and drag an
oval-shaped stencil onto your image.
When I deleted my frame, my image disappeared as

well.
WebEasy groups images and frames together to make it easy for
you to work with them. When you select a frame, the handles
show you whether you have selected just the frame or both the
frame and the image. If the handles are squares, you have
selected just the frame. If the handles are diamonds, you have
selected both the frame and the image.
If the selection you have made is not the one you wanted, select
the item again. The handles should alternate between diamond
and square each time you select an item.
A better way to remove a frame from an image is click Image >
Clear Frame in the Modify section of the Insert and Modify
tab.
WebEasy • 153
Problems with Text
My text has become an image.

Text sometimes becomes an image when WebEasy builds the
site because the text overlaps onto another item on the page. To
prevent text from becoming an image, make sure text items do
not overlap other items or build the site as a DHTML website.
Text also becomes an image when you apply a gradient or
texture fill.
In websites, adding a shadow also causes text to become an
image although not for DHTML websites.
I cannot see all my text.

If you enlarge text after you type it in, the text frame may be too
small to display all the text. Enlarge the text frame by selecting
the text item and dragging the handles.
• Use the handles on the sides of the text frame to widen it.
• Use the handles on the top and bottom of the text frame to
increase the height.
• Use the handles on the corners of the text frame to increase
the height and width at the same time.
154 • WebEasy
Problems with Links
Some of my links to other sites do not work.

WebEasy does not verify that the Internet addresses you provide
are correct. You can use the Site Map Assistant (available on the
Review and Tools tab) to check the internal links from and to
each page. (See “Viewing Links with the Site Map Assistant” in
WebEasy Help.)
• Make sure that you haven’t made any mistakes when typing
the Internet addresses and that the addresses are still valid.
• Make sure that the Internet address that you entered begins
with http://. This is required for links to other sites.
If you cannot find anything wrong with the addresses, see your
Internet Service Provider.
Some of the links to other parts of my site are not

working.
Make sure that you have not created links to pages that you have
subsequently deleted. It is best to add your links after you have
completely finished designing your document. Use the Site Map
Assistant (available on the Review and Tools tab) to check your
links from and into each page. (See “Viewing Links with the Site
Map Assistant” in WebEasy Help.)
WebEasy • 155
Problems When Publishing
The Publish Assistant says required files have been

deleted from my local folder.
This occurs when a package file is missing from the local folder
on your computer. If the package file is missing, the Publish
Assistant cannot compare local and remote files. You must
re-publish your entire website.
If the package file for a website you want to delete is missing,
the Publish Assistant cannot delete that website. Copy the
package file from the HTML folder (or the folder in which you
stored the HTML files for your website) into the local folder.
Now when you publish, the Publish Assistant can delete the
website.
There’s not enough disk space on my remote host to

publish my website.
If this is the first time you’re publishing your website, check that
the space your web hosting service has allocated to you for a
website is greater than the size of the contents of your local
website folder. Your local website folder is typically at:
\\My Documents\Web Easy\HTML\your_web_site_name
If the allocated space on the remote host is smaller, you can
either request more space from your web hosting service or
reduce the size of your website. You can reduce the size of your
website by reducing the size of any large graphics, by removing
a page, or by removing large files that are linked to the site.
If you have already published a website, you can make the one
you are publishing now smaller, or you can delete the first
156 • WebEasy
website from your remote host. Deleting a website from your

remote host does not remove your local version of it.
Problems Viewing Sites in a Browser
Some of my linked items are not visible.

If the browser does not display an item on your website that has
a specific type of link (for example, an embedded object link), it
doesn’t support that type of link.
Your visitors might need to upgrade to the latest version of the
browser to view these linked items. The latest versions of most
browsers are free to download from the Internet.
When I view my website in a browser, it does not

display correctly.
Because WebEasy enables you to do so much with your website,
the HTML files that you build can be quite complex. Some older
browsers cannot handle that complexity.
Try altering your document design to reduce its complexity. One
way of doing this is to avoid having items that overlap. If you do
not want to alter your design, you can try viewing your website
in other browsers or upgrading to a newer version of the browser
you are using.
You should remember that even though some browsers display
your website without problems, others might not — and visitors
might use those other browsers. You should try to create a
website that can be viewed without problems with as many
different browsers as possible.
WebEasy • 157
When I view my website in different browsers, it looks

different.
Different browsers may interpret web page coding and scripting
differently. Because of this, they may display your website
differently. Sometimes there is nothing you can do about the
differences.
For example, some browsers use different color palettes and
those browsers display colors differently. If visitors use Large
Fonts in Windows, some browsers provide improper font sizes
that aren’t controllable by HMTL.
