Working with Site Studio.

Easy web templates for
beginners with a professional result.
SITESTUDIO (Introduction)
Have you ever felt amazed at how things changed over the last
years? The Internet has become as common as the telephone. E-mail
makes people totally forget about the existence of regular mail.
Having a web site is now more important than having a business card.
Actually, many people now think that having one web site is not
enough. Really, would you present yourself the same way to your
potential employers, family members and former schoolmates? Of
course not! On the first site you would probably place your
professional resume—and will refer to it in an employment classified.
On the second, you would place new pictures of you and your fiancé—you
may want to share them with your parents in Minnesota and your
sister in Paris. On the third, you will open a picture gallery out
of the old school pics—maybe, this will help you find your old good
friend whose trace you lost many years ago…
And so, you have decided to make up your own website. High time!
But do you know enough HTML? Or do you want to create your site
using a text editor? In either case, you will end up spending days
and days to have your site look attractive and getting all things
work. Not the best solution. Or, maybe, you want to pay hundreds of
dollars for the web designer to do the job?
Well, here is the solution. We will save your time and efforts,
and what's even more important, you can be personally involved in
the Art of Web Design. To create a professional-looking web site
using SiteStudio, you don't need any special knowledge or experience.
The wizard-like program structure will guide you through the whole
site-construction process step by step. Now you become a web
designer, a creator, an Artist! You can juggle around with page
layouts, colors, themes, add various effect and much, much more,
everything with a single mouse click! Within a half hour you can
have your site created and published on the Internet!
So, if you feel this is what you need, welcome on board!
