Designing Pages with Rapid Web Designer |
|
Welcome! From this site, Sweet Home teachers can browse information about how to use First Class Rapid Web Designer (RWD) to create their own teacher web pages. RWD is a powerful, but easy to use tool that makes creating web pages almost as simple as creating a new e-mail message.
We thought it would be a good idea to create a website using RWD to help with the training process. Listed below you'll find an outline of the topics to be reviewed during the training. The goal of the 90 minute training session is for each teacher to build Clicking on the outline topics will allow you to "link" to other web pages that fully describe the general concepts and features we will be reviewing during the training.
I. Webpage Concepts
II. RWD Concepts
III. Building My Home Page
Glossary of Terms, Definitions, & Conventions
Container:
A folder or a conference that contains documents, files, or other containers. (note: calendars are also containers however in the RWD documentation, calendars are not referred to using this definition but will always be referred to just as calendars)
Home Page:
The one page that opens automatically when users access your web site with a web browser. (Note: because FirstClass can also serve standard HTML files on the web, pages with any of the following names will also open automatically when a browser is used to access the container they are in: index.htm, index.html, default.htm, default.html. For the purposes of this help, we will always refer to the Home Page as the RWD page with the literal name 'Home Page')

A document, message, conference, folder, calendar, or uploaded file
Page Body:
The area of a web page that is in the center of the page and that is NOT part of the RWD Header Section, Header or Footer Links Bars, Navigation Sidebar or Information Sidebar. On the RWD form, the Page Body is the part of the form that is visible regardless of which tab in the form is selected as it is below the tabbed sections of the RWD form. The Page body is the area that is part of native FirstClass functionality. The page body may also be referred to as the document window.
