These days, every small organization needs to have a website for making its
presence online. Site Studio 6, from Effective Studios is a simple Web editor
that creates websites with professionally designed looks, which are easy to
update and also are optimized for search engines. The software offers WYSIWYG
editing and automatically generates the XHTML code for the designed web-pages.
How to use
after installing the Site Studio Pro 6 provided in this month's DVD, you can
start up with website creation. The first step involves selecting a template for
your website and filling out the form for naming the project. Though the
software provides a good selection of contemporary templates, you can also opt
to start building the site with your own design. Once done with selecting the
template, the interface opens which has two main views- Layout and Content.

The second step is to modify the content of the Web-pages provided by the
template and do modifications to the layout of the templates. The document
editing can directly be done through Content View by selecting the Edit button.
In Edit mode there are taskbar buttons for hyper-linking text, inserting images
and tables. You can set the site navigation scheme and also add documents under
the Contents Root tree on the left pane. With the Layout View we do
modifications to the layout scheme of a web-page. The CSS (cascading style
sheets) is used to save the design layout, which allows to share code throughout
website and is also search engine friendly. You can add keywords and description
for your web-pages so as to make them more search engine friendly through
Document Properties option. After designing and putting up your content to the
web-pages you can test the site for deployment. Use the Upload Wizard to upload
the documents to the domain space directly using FTP or deploy it locally to
preview it. The wizard is intelligent enough to upload only those documents that
have been changed. Site Studio produces clean HTML code that is optimized and in
the source code there are no extra unreferenced tags. This software despite
being expensive is a good tool for creating search engine optimized websites,
easily.
