As we have already said, WebSite X5 acts like a wizard, which means that when you work with it, you're taken through each step like a guided tour: at each part of the procedure, a window opens in which you can enter or add the necessary information to create, update and publish a complete, professional and eye-catching website online.
All the windows that are shown by the Program have the same graphic interface: they all have the same top, side and bottom button bars and a central work-area window that changes according to the part of your project you're working on and the kind of information you need to include.

| The work environment |
The top button bar includes the commands that you need to have available all the time, regardless of what part of the project you are working on. These commands are mainly for opening the online help and retrieving information on the Program's state, saving the project and making a backup copy of it and for opening a preview of your work in the Program's own browser. §Help: this command opens the online help. Use the left arrow of the Help button to see other commands: -Summary...: opens the online help. -Video Tutorial: opens a web page with a list of video tutorials which explain how to start working with WebSite X5. -WebSite X5 Gallery: opens the WebSite X5 Answers section that contains websites created with WebSite X5 that have been submitted directly by their authors. -WebSite X5 Templates: opens the section of WebSite X5 Answers that is dedicated to the templates. It contains new templates that have been created by Incomedia and by other authors, and they can be displayed and downloaded. Some of them are free! -Technical Support: opens WebSite X5 Answers, the website that provides technical assistance for WebSite X5. On WebSite X5 Answers you can look through the FAQs and the tutorials, or you can send a request for assistance. -www.websitex5.com: opens WebSite X5's website. -About WebSite X5: displays general information on the WebSite X5 version installed on your computer. §Save [CTRL + S]: saves the current project. The project is automatically saved in Projects folder specified in the Preferences window. You can use the left arrow of the Save button to see these commands: -Save at every Preview: automatically saves the project each time you use the Preview command to display a preview of your website. -Create a Backup Copy when saving the Project the first time: automatically creates a backup copy of your project (Backup.iwprj file) after the first time you save in the current work session. -Create a Backup Copy every time you upload: automatically creates a backup copy of your project (Uploaded_timestamp.iwprj file) before you publish it on the Internet.
-Preview: displays a local preview of your website so far, using the program's built-in browser.

WebSite X5 takes you through the work of creating a website in just 5 steps. The buttons on the left side of the Program window, which are always available, indicate which step you are currently working on and you can use them to move from one step to another (you don't have to follow the order in which they appear).
|
The bottom button bar has the buttons you need for moving around the Program: §Back: takes you back to the previous window, in case you want to make further changes. §Next: takes you to the next window, to continue creating your website. |
