3 steps to a professional website
When you launch MAGIX Website Maker 3.0 for the first time, you can immediately create a website in three quick steps. Step 1: Select layout The first step is to select the layout for your website from several professional designs. For each layout you also get a series of suitable subpages. These are listed to the right. If there are some individual pages which you don't need, then you can remove them with a click on the check boxes.

New text objects can be added in the following way: 1. 2. 3. 4. Access the "Text" category and then the "Text box" via "Objects". A preview list appears in the overview with possible fonts. Select a font of your choice by clicking it. Drag this text field by pressing the mouse button and pulling it over to the right into an empty space on your website. Click on the text field and enter your text.
In the same way, you can load all of the other kinds of elements and objects in the object manager under "Objects": Open the respective category (My Media, text, animations, shapes, decorations, picture frames, navigation, extras). Click on a category to open its preview list. Select using the preview list, and then drag the object of your choice to the workspace with the mouse button depressed. It's best to open the categories in the object manager and have a look at everything which is available to you there.
Preview Once all of your adjustments have been made, you can preview your website. Some objects like animations, text effects, slideshows, or videos are not shown in the workspace, but rather only in the preview.
Tip: Click on the preview often while working on your project to be able to get a better idea of how well your work matches what you have planned. Step 3: Publish website If you are satisfied with the results you see in the preview and would like to continue by putting your website online, then simply click "Publish" to finish!
Now you and anyone else online can view your homepage from anywhere, any time at http://your-name.magix.net/website/.
Interface and functionality
This chapter will provide you with an overview of the functions available in MAGIX Website Maker 3.0 and where to find them.
Website Maker and Control Center
The browser window for Website Maker; fill up your website with your own content here. The browser window for the Website Control Center; manage your website here.
Website Maker is your tool for creating and editing your own online presence. Build the start and subpages, create a clear overview, develop the design, text, images and multimedia objects, upload your own images, music, or videos, optimize it all for search engines, and much more. The Website Control Center is the command center of your website. Expand storage space for your website, send emails (the Website Maker deluxe package includes a domain + 5 inboxes), and manage your Internet addresses (domains). You will also find the www.magix.com
address of your first website that is automatically created as http://your-name.magix.net.

Control Center

The navigation of the control center under "Start" lets you view which subdomains and domains are registered in your name, how much storage space is remaining, and so on. If you only have a subdomain with the ".magix.net" extension and would like to set up your own domain (more page 56) to remove this extension, then you can upgrade to Website Maker deluxe. In the navigation bar under "User data", you can see all of the data that you've provided about yourself. To the right in the options area, you can change your user data, payment data, and password. It's important to note that you can also change the name of your subdomain. If you would like to adjust the address of your current website, then you can do so here. Note: The ending ".magix.net" or ".magix.net/website" remains. Only the middle part can be changed. If you would like to remove the.magix.net extension, you will need your own domain; this can be acquired by upgrading to "Website Maker deluxe".

Use the page manager to organize the individual websites. Access this to the left in Website Maker by clicking "Pages". One click is all it takes to open the useful click menu, another click on "Pages" closes it again.
In the upper section of the page manager all pages of the currently loaded website are listed. Tip: Pages can be opened via the navigation in the workspace. To do so, press the "Shift" key and click on the corresponding navigational title in the workspace. You can jump to the previous and next pages using the arrows beneath the workspace. Move - adjust sequence of webpages: Moving pages with drag & drop is quick and easy in the page manager. To do so, click the page
you want and keep the mouse button held while moving it to the position in the page list to where you want to move it.
The position will be noticeable by a thin line. Once you have reached the desired position let go of the left mouse button. Now you've moved the position of the page. You can check the result immediately in the navigation in the work space. Change title - adjust page names: You can change the name of your pages whenever you want after having already set them. To do so, double click on the page title in the page manager and enter the new title.
Note: Changing the page's title also changes the title in the navigation bar of your website. You can check the result of every change immediately in the workspace.
Website layers Background (-1) contains all of the objects that should always be visible on your website (independent of the selected page), e.g. background picture, background music, etc.
Page view (0) lets you design individual content for each page. All objects are automatically positioned in front of background objects and behind foreground objects. Foreground (1) shows your navigation; this is on every page and always visible in the foreground. Your navigation can be selected in the object manager from the object list in the "Navigation" category. Page objects The object list can be found under the page list. Clicking the eye symbol allows you to hide/show individual objects. Hidden objects will not be visible on the published site, but they can quickly be built back in, since they aren't deleted. Clicking the cross symbol allows you to delete individual objects completely.
Password protected pages The password protection feature helps you implement protected pages on your homepage to make sure that only authorized users have access to their contents.
1. Select the page that you would like to protect with a password under "Pages". 2. Click the cogwheel (see figure above) to open the menu, and then select "Password protection". The corresponding dialog opens. 3. Select the contacts you want to give password access to for that page. 4. Enter the corresponding password for the page and then close the dialog. 5. Publish your homepage again to update the changes. The page is now blocked to the public. Only the selected people who receive the password can log in and view the page (all selected contacts will be notified by email and receive the password).

Filling your pages - object manager
Each element within a page is known as an object and can be inserted into the page with the object manager. In the object manager all object types are sorted and displayed according to category. Here you will also see the object selection. Each object can be displayed in a preview. You can view everything in your own time and select objects using drag & drop and insert them into the work space.
Text Insert text: To insert text into your website, select the "Text" category from the object manager. Use the "Text field" option to preview various text types (fonts) in the object selection.
Select a field and create a new text field in the workspace using drag & drop.
Click on the text field and write your text.
Format text: You can format text fields as well as all other objects via the object properties.
Here the usual text formatting options can be specified. Link text: If you like, you can use the "Link" objects to link text.
If you want to link to a page on your own website, the "Internal link" function can be used to link the pages by choosing them from a list. If you wish to link to an external page, you can also specify if you want the page to open in a new window or in the current one.
Shapes and objects Shapes and objects can be selected in the object manager by clicking the "Shapes" or "Decorations" category. Here you'll find a large selection of stylistic elements like arrows, geometric figures, headers, backgrounds, and much more for your website. These can be edited just like other objects via "Properties".
Picture frame In MAGIX Website Maker 3.0 you'll find useful magnetic picture frames to enhance the appearance of your photos. Picture frames can be selected in the object manager from the "Picture frames" category in portrait or landscape format. 1. 2. 3. Move the matching picture frames onto the workspace using drag & drop. Now go to your picture folder, e.g. "My pictures -> Uploads -> Pictures". Select the photo that you want to add a picture frame to and then drag it onto a picture frame. The picture snaps automatically into the frame.
Size and position can be customized using the arrows (object handles).
Your photo is set perfectly into the scene! Note: If you already have inserted an image into a page and want to add a picture frame later, then the picture frame will be added a layer above the image and it will be covered. Simply change the layers of the objects by moving the affected objects in the page manager under "Page objects". The picture frame must be a layer lower than the picture. www.magix.com

Scale, position, and mirror Each object's size and position can be adjusted. Select your picture object in the work space. The typical handle arrows will then appear at the sides of the object. Drag the arrows while holding down the left-mouse button to distort the picture. If you drag the corners while holding down the "Shift" key you can scale your photo. Click on the cross to start repositioning the object. You can rotate the photo by clicking on the cross and, while holding down the left-mouse button, draw a circle with the mouse. The photo will now follow the movement of the mouse. If you wish to mirror your photo, simply drag the arrows with the mouse across the middle axis and your photo will be mirrored.
Animation The "Animations" category provides a large selection of animations. These funny and playful elements really add life to your page, but be careful not to put too many animations on your pages sometimes less is more.
Note: Animations and text effects are only displayed in the workspace as placeholders. To get an original view of the effect, click "Preview".
Add your own photos, videos, and music Insert pictures from the hard disk You can add your own pictures to your website using the object manager. 1. Open the object manager via the "Objects" button and then the "My Media" category. You can either insert the photos from your Online Album into the workspace, or upload photos from your computer to MAGIX Website Maker 3.0 via "Uploads" (uploaded photos will be visible here later). 2. Open "Uploads" and select "Images", then click on the arrow symbol to the right (see figure).
3. Select a method for uploading. "Normal" is intended for only one or two images, or "Express" for multiple images or entire folders. A dialog appears for you to select images or folders to be uploaded at once. 4. In the dialog that follows, select the image (or entire series of images, depending on the method) from your hard drive.
Once all images have been uploaded, you will be able to find them again in the object manager under "My Media -> Uploads -> Pictures". 5. Now select the image you want and insert it into the workspace via drag & drop. Alternately, you can use the "Insert" button. Integrating music Would you like your website to play music to add a certain atmosphere? MAGIX Website Maker 3.0 makes it easy. Open "Objects -> My Media -> Music" to upload your music track, or use one which you have already uploaded to your Online Album. Use drag & drop to place the track at an open position in the workspace. MAGIX Website Maker 3.0 automatically creates a player to play the track. You can always design the player yourself, of course. Double click on the player to open "Properties" and then "Player Skin". You can select a template here and apply it by double clicking, i.e. the player will be automatically adjusted. "Playback" lets you specify whether or not the music is played automatically when the website is accessed, and whether it should be played back in a loop or just one time. Use the slider to adjust the volume.

Opacity Select a text and then move the slider below "Opacity". The further you move the slider to the left, the less opacity the text will have. It appears brighter as the background shines through.
Dye Would you like to change the color of the images on your website? Just color them in: 1. 2. 3. Remove the check mark by "Selective". Reduce the opacity with the help of the slider (move the slider to the left). Select the desired color in the colors area.
You can see the difference immediately in the picture. Animation If you've added an animation to your website, then you can add other animations to that one, too. 1. 2. Select the corresponding animation object that you've added to your page. Select the properties for the new animations you've added.
After you publish again, you'll be able to see the new animation. Filter effects Select one of your homepage's objects and then pick one of the numerous effects. If you want to, you can also specify level, angle, and color for most objects. Mix To transform the objects on your site even more, you can use a mixture of effects. Just click on an effect and see how it changes an object. If you don't like it, then select either "Normal" or reset the changes (below the object).
General View and change the position and size of objects as number values.
"x" and "y" are the coordinates of the object on the website, "w" and "h" are the dimensions of the object (width and height). "x" and "yscale" show the scaled size of the object. If "xscale" is set to 80, for example, then the object will be stretched to 80% of its original size. 100 shows the object at 100% of its original size.

Link hidden page

If you have individual pages on your site that don't appear in the navigation, but rather only by being accessed from other sites (internal linking), then proceed as follows: Step 1 Hide a page by 1. 2. activating the "Navigation" under "Pages" and then opening "Properties -> Navigation", then selecting the page which should not be shown in the navigation and deactivating it (click the eye icon behind the page in question so that it is no longer highlighted in orange). The navigation bar will be adjusted accordingly.
Step 2 Create an internal link to this page 1. 2. by selecting the website under "Pages" which should contain the link to the hidden page. Select the text that should be linked. www.magix.com

3. 4. Switch to "Links" under "Properties". Activate "Internal link" and select the hidden page.
After the changes have been saved, you will need to publish your site again to update it online.

Start website

A preview of the current website project can be seen at any time via the "Preview" button.
The website you published can be accessed whenever you like using your Internet address. To do this, open your browser, enter your address into the address line of the browser, and press "Enter" on your keyboard.
Specify keywords for search engines
MAGIX Website Maker 3.0 lets you specify keywords in the menu under "Settings.". Enter these words via "Website title -> Keywords for web search". Separate the concepts with commas. Note: There is no guarantee about where your website will be placed in a search engine's index. There are as many different search algorithms as there are search engines, and these all read different information about your homepage for display in the search results. Tip: Create a good website with interesting content. Don't try optimizing everything for every search engine. SEO (search engine optimization) is a kind of science that comapnies work with to be found in the flood of information. This process cannot be compared with simply entering key search terms.

Export

The complete website can be displayed in another website by using the export function. A link will be created to the original website which still exists on the MAGIX server. So, if you already have another website on another server, then you can have your MAGIX website displayed there, too. For this some HTML code will be produced which you will need to add to your other website. This code ensures that the website generated using MAGIX Website Maker 3.0 will be displayed correctly (objects, etc.) when the other website is opened. Note: The export function doesn't allow a complete download of the file, since synchronization of the guest book, the counter, and the Online Album requires that the page be located on the MAGIX server. Uploading the website via FTP to a third-party server is therefore not possible at this time for technical reasons. Export the entire website The complete website including menus, all subpages, and media should be re-used. Select "Export website" from the main menu. A window will open in which you can find the code for your website or its links and can copy it here for use elsewhere.
The text you are copying from the text box here is the address of your website for displaying it in the new website. This code also www.magix.com

Glossary

Browser
A browser (also known as web browser, or Internet browser) is a computer program that displays websites. The best-known browsers are Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and Opera.
CC stands for "Connectivity Co-ordination" and describes how the change of a domain name from one provider to another occurs (domain transfer).
The abbreviation DNS stands for Domain Name Service and refers to a provider of Internet services that registers domain names for customers.

Domain

A domain is the website's Internet address. It consists of the name of the Internet protocol (usually http://), the computer or network name (such as www), the second-level domain (such as magix), and the top level domain (such as.com,.net). Altogether we have: protocol://networkname.second-leveldomain.top-level-domain (such as "http://www.magix.com"). Domains are allocated by a country's so-called NIC (Network Information Center). In Germany the DENIC is responsible for the release of domains. MAGIX takes care of this registration and technical maintenance of your domain as well as the webhosting of your site (created with MAGIX Website Maker).

Webhosting

This means that an Internet Service Provider makes domains and webspace available to its customers. With the MAGIX Website Service, MAGIX provides webhosting to its customers.

Webmail

Webmail enables the customer to view and receive the contents of their email inbox without having to install email software on their computer. Customers of the MAGIX Website Service can use MAGIX Webmail for this.

Webmaster

A webmaster is responsible for the administration and maintenance of a website. Often, the webmaster is also the owner of the website as well as the domain that belongs to it. Once you have registered a domain in the MAGIX Website Service, an email account will www.magix.com
automatically be set up, for example: "mailto:webmaster@domainname.com".

Webserver

Webserver refers to the computer on which your host saves your website's pages and which makes your pages accessible on the Internet 24-hours a day.
Website / webpage what is the difference?
A website is composed of many webpages. A website is characterized by a uniform navigation and graphic design. A webpage (or an Internet page) is a document that can be called up by a program (e.g. a web browser) from a web server and presented on a computer screen. As a minimum, webpages consist of structured text and multimedia elements like images or animations. Every page can be addressed at least through one URL.
Stands for "World Wide Web" and is the most used service of the Internet. On the WWW, web browsers (for example, Internet Explorer) are used to display information via websites. The process is colloquially called "Surfing the Internet".
