Launching my Business' Website with iWeb '06

I'll try to keep this brief. Here's where I stand thusfar:
1.) I am putting together my small business' startup website using iWeb 06, due to its ease of use, having everything I need to make a nice startup site (particularly for my portfolio, blog & podcasting) & ability to update easily. However this WILL be a company site, so I need to find hosting besides mac.com.
2.) I own my domain names through Godaddy.com. I do have it set up right now to forward these addresses to my mac.com site.
3.) I need to add HTML code onto my site so I can have an opt-in list for those that want my newsletter.
4.) Eventually I will be selling my own products on my site, which I plan to use Paypal to handle payment. But I need a digital delivery system for my products.
I know there are many out there that have some great suggestions about programs & services that are ideal for the mac. Any info you could offer would be GREATLY appreciated. I am starting this up on a shoestring so money is a factor, however I see this as an investment & am willing to trade cash for ease of use (basically, if it's easy to use I'm willing to spend the cash on it).
Thank you

Hey, thanks for your quick and helpful answer!
I wasn't sure it could be done with iWeb, since I tried to do it with my godaddy hosting package, and their off-the-rack website builder didn't allow for html code to be pasted. guess, iWeb allows for that.
My webdesigner told me, iWeb wasn't suitable for professional business websites (video & audio files, newsletters, autoresponders, password protected members' area, the works), only for granny sharing her fotos with her family... seems, he was wrong
thanks again,
Orlando

  • I am busy making a website with iweb. Do you know if it is possible to make a page with a slideshow which does not contain jpg's but other documents?

    I am busy making a website with iweb. Can I only make a page with a slideshow containing jpg's? I would like to make a (pages) document with pictures and have this as a slideshow. Is that possible?

    If you use Keynote rather than Pages you can export as HTML to get a slideshow...

    Or you can use a JQuery slider that will display text, images, movies etc...

  • Multiple websites with iWeb?

    I'd like to create multiple sites with iWeb. For instance, I'd like a personal site and a business site. Can this be done or are we only allowed a singel website?

    sjesser...
    Since iWeb goes through every page in its calculations when publishing, you might find having two sites together in the same instance of iWeb to be cumbersome if you update one or the other site frequently. Additionally, if you ever plan on hosting your personal and business sites in different places, it will be impossible to edit or publish your two sites independently of one another.
    The solution to this would be to keep your personal and business sites in different instances of iWeb....different Domain files. Since you have not yet made your second site, this may be a good time to adopt this practice. You can still publish both sites to the same .Mac account....the difference is that iWeb only has to go through one site when you publish.
    Check out this program called iWebSites...
    http://mistergregg.com/cocoadrillosoftware/
    This software will help you create and maintain fully separate websites with iWeb in an easy to use interface. This is the best time to start.....BEFORE you make that second site! Best of luck!

  • I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

    Hello al!
    I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

    Just create a new page (or use the existing photo page) on your external site and use html to add an iframe sized to the page and link it to the mobilme gallery page. Works for me just fine when showing my gallery from a yahoo site.
    like this
    <iframe scrolling="off" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" style="width:100%;height:100%;border:none" src="http://gallery.me.com/your_account_name"></iframe>

  • Is There a way I can make a free password protected website with iWeb?

    Hi!

I am a mac kind of person so is there a way I can make a free passcode protected website with iWeb? I knwo you use to be able to do it with MobileMe, but that's outdated now so could someone please help!

    No, you cannot password protect a website with iWeb.
    And no, you don't have to be a Mac kind of person either.
    So how do they do it?

  • I'm working to set up my website with iWeb and it won't let me import photos from iPhoto! Whats up?

    I'm working to set up my website with iWeb and it won't let me import photos from iPhoto! Whats up?

    Will Image capture (in your applications foldr) see them and bring to disk? If so then once they are safely off the memory card and on disk use the camera's format command to reformat the memory card
    and can you impoprted to iPhtoo from disk? Will preview open the photos on disk?

  • I've just finished building a new website with iWeb, I want to build a new site, how can I save the details from the first site?

    Hi There.
    I've been building a new website with iWeb. Its now complete, but I will need to keep all the detasils involved as I make amendments from time to time. Now I want to start a new site on a completely different subject. But every time I go to start the new site, it just seems to be 'papering' over the details of the old one. How can I begin a completely new site without overwriting the details of the previous site, and where do I save the original site details to for easy access.
    Thanks,
    Gerbles

    To create a new site in the same domain file use the File ➙ New File menu option.

  • How do I upload PDFs to .Mac website with iWeb?

    Is there a way to upload documents such as PDFs to my .Mac website with iWeb and then link to them from iWeb pages such as Blogs?
    17" iMac (Intel Core Duo)   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Yes, there are two ways of doing it:
    The efficient, "every link points to the same guy" solution is to add the PDF to your page with Insert->Hyperlink->To File..., publish it, and copy the address into all references anywhere else (blogs).
    The second way is to just link those PDFs locally in each reference. This isn't as efficient space-wise as above, but considerably easier.

  • Making iPhone Website with iWeb?

    Is it possible to make an iPhone optimized website with iWeb? I would like for my website to know when you are using an iPhone and have an optimized site. There are a lot of these now on the internet. How do I do that?
    Kevin

    Kevin ~ See this old thread:
    And the width of your site is important...
    Apple's own design award-winning site at apple.com mostly has a width of 980 pixels. Apple's developer guidelines for the iPhone/iPod touch say: "Safari on iPhone also sets the viewport width to 980 pixels, the width of most webpages." And: "...if your webpage is less than 980 pixels wide causing it to scale too small on iPhone..."

  • Business sites with iweb

    Hi
    I've a few questions about creating my new business site with iweb and whether it's worth doing it with iweb (loving the designs I can do) or stick with dreamweaver or use sandvox.
    I've built one site already with iweb http://www.weddingcooperation.co.uk
    I've got this entered onto google using the webmaster tools, but i'm not sure if it'll be found properly. As it's a directory I need the company names and categories to be found, but I'm not sure if that'll work as they're imbedded into images. what's the best way around this, and does it work as it is?
    My main worry is doing all the work in making it look pretty in iweb and then it not being found.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    angela,
    your one page looks lovely - and since you did it so nicely on iWeb, i suggest you do the other site on iWeb two! its just so much easier!
    and if you want to get your site on google - you always have to do something, wether sandvox or dreamweaver.

  • I created a website with iweb, some of the links do not work on ie

    Icreated a website on iweb, originally had problem with firefox, I was helped and that issue was resolved.  I just discovereded that some of my links within the site are not hot/working.  It seems to be working on safari, firefox and google chrome but not on internet explorer and it is not all the links.  Any suggestions?

    Hmm, okay I'm not entirely sure about this one. I know that a lot of iWeb users say that they have some issues with IE, and I know that lots of shapes and shadows can have an affect on an iWeb site's appearance in iWeb. But it seems strange that it would only happen on that one page, when the other pages are pretty similar.
    I would try the rage software/webcrusher method, as it is possible that if you run your site through webcrusher, it will end up working. That tutorial mentions not having shapes and shadows, but I doubt that's something you'd want to get rid of entirely as that seems to be the bulk of the design, but it's still worth a shot to just optimize the site and see if it works.
    If you need help with it, e-mail rage software and their support guys will be able to lend a hand.

  • How do I publish my website with iweb now that mobile me is closed

    How do I publish the website i am creating with iweb now that mobile me is closed?

    You will need to find a 3rd party web host. I personally use IX Webhosting and have been happy with them for several years now.
    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

  • How can I update existing website with Iweb after hard disc crash?

    I created my website on iweb and published it (but not at mobile me). Unfortunately my hard disc crashed, before I saved my webpage. Now I bought a new web and want to update my published website. How do I open it in my new Iweb 9 to update it?
    Thanks for your help,

    Your iWeb data is stored, not in your actual published html files, but in a file called Domain.sites which is stored in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. If you want to work on your site on another computer, copy this file to a thumb drive to move it around.
