Web Site Builder

OK, I know it's a corny name, but I wanted to have a happy, upbeat name instead of something boring like "Yet Another Web Site Builder".

Features:

• Creates web sites with an index (table of contents), normally on the left, with content pages on the right.
• Automatically inserts Google AdSense code as well as other HTML snippets that you create for other advertising programs, including product ads, membership sites, whatever.
• Uses a page template that can be easily altered by you to include Kontera ads (word-sensitive ads that generate additional income), page statistics code (like the free StatCounter), and links to your other sites, if you wish.
• Supports a number of colour schemes and you can easily add more.
• Has a built-in article finder that searches a bunch of article sites like Ezine Articles and ArticlesBase for relevant articles.
• Easily add your own content.
• Automatically creates a Table of Contents (menu) of articles.
• You can indicate that certain pages must ALWAYS come first (or last) in the table of contents.

Examples of Finished Sites:

(each opens in a new window):

• Teach English Better,
• Learn Japanese Faster,
• Toy Trains,
• Golf Tips,
• Write a Better Resume,
• Emigrate to the UK,
• Sex Advice,
• Relationship Advice.

I have many more.

Screen Captures

This is the boring opening screen. You can create a new project (File | New Project) or select an existing project from the drop-down list.

These are the details for one project, Learn English. This screen defines where the files are located on your hard drive or network, and defines the Google channel for AdSense ads.

You can define the colours of Google ads, or select from a list of pre-defined colour schemes in the drop-down list. If you define a new scheme, you will be prompted to save it.

You can also define or select the page colours to be used.

The table of contents is defined here, including the graphic image to be displayed (if any). You can select which pages are to be placed at the front and end of the contents menu.

Here, you can see all the products being sold on the web site, through a cloaked link. You can add a new product referral or edit an existing one. The product referral code is created automagically after you enter the Clickbank (or Commission Junction or whatever) hot link.

Back to the boring start-up screen. Clicking the Locate Articles button takes you to the Article Finder section of the program.

The Article Finder lets you specify a keyword phrase and an article site (a dozen are in the drop-down list). It lists the available articles returned by their search, and you can then click on them one by one to see if they are, in fact, appropriate. If so, you can capture the article in text format.

When you have captured a number of articles, or added your own (plain text) articles, you return to the boring start-up screen and click the Format Articles button, which brings up the Article Formatter screen.

The Article Formatter lists the articles you have collected, and lets you select them, one by one, for pre-editing and basic formatting. You can select text and mark it as a heading or sub-heading, for example. The input to the Article Formatter is plain text; the output is HTML, with ads inserted where the page template says to put them. It keeps track of the ads and tries to rotate ad types if at all possible so that all pages don't look exactly the same. When you press the Publish button, it creates the formatted page and invokes your HTML editor (FrontPage, PageMill, DreamWeaver, whatever) so you can give the page any final polish or insert more ads, whatever.

Back to the boring start-up page again. Once we have some formatted HTML pages, we press the Table of Contents button.

The program creates the Table of Contents, and then invokes your HTML editor so you can see the finished site and make any last changes. Here, my Learn French site is shown in Adobe PageMill.

The finished site looks like this in a browser:

Here is another page in the site showing a Google links ad at the top (the blue bar), and Google AdSense at the right.

Here is the bottom of a page, showing the bottom of an image ad at the right, Kontera linked words (the green words with double underline), an ad for a Muslim dating site (I created the 3 lines of HTML code necessary and placed it in a text file so that the program could insert it when a 728x90 ad was needed), and a Google links ad (the blue bar). Following that are icons and links to some of my other sites. All of these came from the page template. Not shown is the StatCounter and AdSpy tracking code, which does not display, but again is part of the page template, and therefore automatically inserted into every page.

This program is still in development but is very close to completion. There are some other features not shown here, such as a global text editing feature that lets you change text across many files, the ability to list and edit your Google AdSense channels, etc.
