Help!  Creating a website using Pages... is it possible?!

Hi,
I'm created a document in Pages that I exported as HTML anticipating using it as a Website. The formating did not transfer and I'm wondering if it's possible to use this beautiful application to easily make a website. This is the first time I've tried creating a website so any other suggestions would be helpful. The news of our website being available has been published so I'm under the wire to complete it!
BTW, I looked at the website/homepage option with .Mac but it's not as flexible and I need to use the website at school, not at my home.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Robin

It's possible, but not recommended by those who have tried it. Results have been disappointing, to say the least, as you have found.
I use Freeway Express by Soft Press, but it is an additional expense. I have seen others suggest the free Nvu or Netscape Composer. Try Google, MacUpdate or VersionTracker to find them.

  • Where do I begin to create my website using this G5 and Pages '08?

    Where do I begin to create my website using this G5 and Pages '08? I don't even know where to start...
    I made a temporoary website on wordpress with my pc -- now I want to see what is possible with this G5 and Pages '08 by bro gave me.

    The current version is iLife '11. iWeb is up to v4 and I think has been out since 2007.
    There is no iLife folder, the applications are loose within the Applications folder.
    You can purchase a boxed version of iLife from Apple or an Apple reseller.
    The Mac App store does not offer iWeb and you would need OSX 10.6.6 to use the App Store.
    If you began your website using WordPress, why not continue to use it, it does not matter what system you are on, Windows, Mac or Linux, WordPress is web based.

  • I created a newsletter using pages on my IPAD3.  I can see see it...the icon is till there but when I tap it to open it, I get kicked out of pages.   Tried rebooting  and I can open other documents, but not this one.  Any ideas?

    I created a newsletter using pages on my IPAD 3.  All of a sudden I can no longer open that document.   When I click on it, it throws me out of pages all together.  I can open other pages documents, but not that one.  It is very frustrating to be able to SEE the file, but not open it.
    I rebooted and I do have icloud back-up on but am not sure how to restore an older version.  I also made sure there are no updates for pages.   Until the IPAD I used a home PC which I still have but am trying to wean myself off of.  I wish now I had used MS Publisher on my PC for the newsletter even though I hate it.   
    Please don't tell me I have lost my Newsletter and 20 hours worth of work.  

    Try resetting your iPad.  Hold the on/off and home buttons together for 7 or 8 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
    I'm assuming your default is to save Pages documents to iCloud, and that you had a good WiFi connection when you closed Pages the last time you tried to save the document.

  • I am using Pages 4.3. I created a Document using Pages 4.3 that is 280 MB (it is 350 pages long). Will I be able to open it in Pages 5.0?

    I am using Pages 4.3. I created a Document using Pages 4.3 that is 280 MB (it is 350 pages long). Will I be able to open it in Pages 5.0?

    Hi,
    WARNING
    it´s impossible (for me) to open Pages 5 documents in Pages 4, which is absolutely no go. You can open any f..... word.doc but no pages 4.
    Apple is getting worser every day, it´s a shame. There is no information about this before you buy it.
    So now you have to ask your friends or colleagues to convert a pages 5 document to a word document, so you can open it with pages 4. Hoiw ridiculous is that?
    Pages 5 is a joke. In 5.0 they forgot to manage the task-bar, which came shortly after 4 weeks or so in 5.1.
    The only good: you can run ist parallelly to pages 4.3 but it´s not worth the money.

  • I created a website using iWeb, then published to MobileMe, how can i publish to iCloud?

    I created a website using iWeb, then published to MobileMe, Mobile Me is now closed, how can i publish to iCloud?

    iCloud does NOT allow you to host your web sites. You can continue to use iWeb but, will need a 3rd party web host to upload your websites to. Depending on the version of iWeb you are using you have a couple of publishing options:
    iWeb '09 (3.0.4) you can publish to an FTP Server or a local folder. ( With the built in FTP in iWeb you will end up with an address like "www.YourDomain.com/sitename/Home.html )
    iWeb '08 you can publish your website to a local folder
    I have been using IX Webhosting for several years with little to no problems "usually the problem was something I did" and they have been quick to solve any issue I have come across. The have plans that start at $3.95 a mo (USD) and their customer service is top notch.

  • Quickest & Easiest Way To Create & Publish website using Illustrator Designs?

    HI there
    I am a newbie & more conversant in premier pro than webiste development, however I though I would give it a go. I have watched that many Lynda.com video's I think I have confused myself!
    I have created all of the pages I need for my website in Adobe Illustrator & saved them as illustrator documents & HTML also.
    I have tried just using a blank page HTML with no columns & liquid centre, however whenever I look at the view my design is only showing up to the left hand side of the screen, not centred at all. Am I meant to put it into a container, or a box around it so it will expand with different browser sizes
    I am concerned that perhaps the design itself is too fixed, ie 856 x 554 & that is the problem?
    I, ridiculously, have a friday deadline with this & I am feeling fairly pathetic given I am stuck on the 1st step!(Wel not quite, I managed the design & vid editing!)
    Thanks
    Mandi

  • Help creating tables in new pages

    I need to add a few pages to my website, so I've created a few blank pages by going file> new> page from template. I then try to add a table to the content box of the page, but this message appears: "making this change would require changing code that is by a template or translator. This change will be discarded."
    Can someone help me figure out how to get tables into my page?
    Thanks!

    Best bet is to post a link to the errant page, otherwise it is all just guesses.

  • Creating a website in Pages

    Hey,
    Does anyone do this with good results?
    I am trying to create a website for a film I will be producing/directing.

    Hi DaFilm!
    The choice of the editor depends upon your own abilties in Webdesign and your ambitions in the future.
    NVU (or Dreamweaver): very powerful, you can expand your site in almost every way including exotic techniques like php or so. You need at least good basics about building a website.
    price: NVU is free, Dreamweaver very expensive
    iWeb: if you want to make a personal project on .mac without any greater ambitions, without scratching even the surface of webdesign it´s your choice (the exported html-code is far less than optimized, perhaps in version 2.0 you can really use it)
    Sandvox, Goldfish and Rapidweaver are inbetween iWeb and NVU (or Dreamweaver). Easy to use templates and you can change the look (theme) of the entire site with one click. With iWeb you can´t. If you wan´t to develope your site by learning advanced techniques you can use pure html or php by inserting. Sandvox and Goldfish are brandnew with some good features. RapidWeaver is (almost) in Version 3.5 containing the expiriences of some years of development.
    All of them are about 35 - 49 $

  • I created a website using MobilMe and now I cannot access it. What do I do to recover it?

    I built a website using Apple software and now that MobileMe does not exist I cannot access it. What can I do to retrieve it?

    You cannot retrieve the actual html pages from MobileMe as all contents have been deleted. However ifyou are using iWeb they would have done you little good as iWeb cannot open html pages.
    iWeb keeps its data in a file called 'Domain' which by default lives in (user)/Library/Application Support/iWeb and when you open iWeb it should open the file automatically and show your site, which you can then publish to another server.
    If you have moved the Domain file to a different location you will need to find it and open it in iWeb or move it back to the default location.
    If you cannot locate the file you will have to recreate your site from scratch.
    The method of publishing to another hosting service depends on which version of iWeb you have: please see this page -

  • Help needed regarding website opening page

    Hello everybody
    I'm kind of lost and I can't find the way to switch from the
    current opening page of my website to a new one already
    To make it short , my website stands in Swedish and English.
    There is more and more traffic on the English version now and I
    would like to switch to it thus replacing the Swedish version
    without cancelling it though.
    The point is to have the visitor see the English version when
    he enters my address on the web.
    I've followed the steps in the help section! but there's no
    way for me to make it effective on the web. The map of the site
    changes on the local files but nothing happens on the web.
    I thank you for considering my message and I hope someone
    will help me out.
    All best
    Frederic

    Generally on the web server there is a default page file
    name, commonly index.html or default.asp. It depends on the web
    server. The default file is served when the web browser doesn't
    indicate a file (e.g.,
    http://www.example.com/ as
    opposed to
    http://www.example.com/myfile.html).
    You want to put your content in the default file, with a link to
    the other version (e.g., index.html links to swedish-index.html).

  • Need help creating a form using show/hide functionality

    I'm tring to add javascript to a drop down box so that, when a selection has been made in the drop down box, it will display a image/button. I need the drop down box to have a default value that will hide all images/buttons.
    The list in the drop down box is going to be a list of products e.g. product A, B, C, and the default value to be "please select a product..."
    Can this be done in Acrobat Pro X? If so can someone point me in the right direction?
    Cheers

    Your site is running on an Apache server, so it definitely doesn't support ASP. Apache frequently supports PHP, but I couldn't tell from the headers sent by your server whether it's supported on your site.
    I suggest that you contact BT Business support to see if they offer a formmail script. Most hosting companies do. The support pages should describe how to set it up.

  • Need help creating multiple albums on web page

    I have created a website using the about me template which comes with 3 albums on on the template. It seems that only the first album is hyperlinked to another page but the other two are not. Am I correct or am I doing something wrong. Is there a way to have 3 albums on my about me page that will send the viewer to the album page when they click on it. Any help would be much appreciated.

    The problem with the iWeb albums page is that if you put more than about 6 albums with a dozen or so photos in each, it will take forever to download and will have no chance of downloading in IE.
    Unless all your viewers use Macs with Safari, forget the Photos and Albums templates and use flash.
    A lot of iWeb users seem to be unaware of how dysfunctional an iWeb built site is for PC users.

  • How do I upload a website created with Muse using FileZilla?

    Hi,
    I created a website using Muse.  Everytime I try to upload the website through Muse, the uploading crashes.  The assets folder contains many large pdf files, so I think that is part of the problem.  I was able to upload the large pdf for the Muse website using FileZilla.  So, my question is:  How can I upload the necessary files created with Muse (html, scripts, etc...)  using FileZilla?  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks:)
    Derek

    Hello,
    Please use the option of Export as HTML in Muse and then try to Upload it to hosting server using filezilla.
    You can find this option in File > Export as HTML.
