Web Page Maker

Web Page Maker is an application that you can use to create websites by using some simple tools. It is ideal for beginners.

The user interface of the software is plain and simple. You can create a new website from scratch or import a template.

Evidently, the last option makes things much easier since you only have to double-click fields to edit them.

You can add new pages and clone them, insert text, images (from file or library) and image objects (rollover image, photo gallery, word art).

But you can also insert shapes (rectangle, round rectangle, ellipse), a navigation bar, horizontal lines, table, hyperlinks, bookmarks, marquee, Flash objects (movie, video, slideshow) and media (audio, Windows Media, Real Time or QuickTime video).

You can add forms (e.g. dropdown list, image or push button), addons (e.g. PayPal "Donate" button), ready-to-use JavaSript objects (e.g. snow effect, wave text) and iFrames. But you can also write your own HTML or JavaScript code.

You can configure the format of the website by setting the text link style sheet (customize hover, active and visited links), colors and borders, page properties (meta tags, background, appearance, page transition, header) and extra HTML code. Plus, you can arrange webpages (e.g. bring to front, send to back).

Moreover, you can preview the website, use the "undo" and "redo" functions and keyboard shortcuts, create backups, import an HTML page (even one from another project), save the project as template, include a sitemap when publishing, and more. The whole website will obviously be saved as an HTML file.

The program takes up a low-to-moderate amount of system resources and contains a comprehensive help file with images. Besides the fact that we couldn't access the "Colors and Borders" option in the "Format" menu (clicking the option didn't do anything), we strongly recommend Web Page Maker to all users, especially novices who are looking for quick webdesign solutions.
