How to Create a Web Page Using Netscape Composer

Create a Web page using Netscape Composer, a free WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor included in the Netscape Communicator package.

Things You'll Need

• Netscape Composer

Instructions

1. Start Netscape Composer and select New from the File menu.

2. Choose Blank Page to create a page from scratch. Choose Template to create a page based on an existing page or template. Select Page Wizard for detailed, step-by-step instructions.

3. Follow the directions for Template or Page Wizard. If you chose a blank page, use the toolbar or menu commands to insert elements into the Web page.

4. Format the Web page properties by choosing Page Colors and Properties from the Format menu.

5. Choose Save from the File menu to save the completed page. Enter the title of the page if you haven't already named it in the properties. Click OK.

6. Click on the Preview button on the toolbar to view the page in the Netscape Navigator browser.

Tips & Warnings

• Download templates from Netscape's Web Page Templates page.

• Once you have created a Web page you like, you can use it as the basis for other pages. Simply choose Template and locate the Web page when creating a new page. So you might want to create a blank page with all the background elements for your site first, then use that as the basis for additional pages.
