Using HTMLstarter_Freeware Edition

HTMLstarter is a small exe file that sits on the root of your CD. It will automatically launch the end user's default browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera, etc.) and open a page named "index.htm", also located in the CD root.

To use, simply place the two files in the zip download (autorun.inf & HTMLstarter_free.exe) on the root of your CD, along with your index.htm file.

Your home page (index.htm) could be nothing more than a redirect page, instructing the browser to launch a webpage located somewhere else on the CD, or it could be a page of links to other pages on the CD, such as:

• a resume in HTML format
• a photo gallery
• a portfolio
• a sample website design
• links to other sample webpage designs on the same CD

the options are as endless as your imagination!

Launching a local webpage (as opposed to a remote one, located on a server somewhere on the internet) is convenient in a number of ways.

Suppose you're at a trade show, and want to show off your new product to someone you meet there. Too bad there's not a handy phone line laying around to dial up and connect to your site... With HTMLstarter, all you do is pass out the CD with your product page on it, fire up your laptop, and your product page immediately pops open!

You could pass out your e-business card the same way, with your contact information, a listing of services you provide, your rates, webpage samples, etc.

Your portfolio of design work could be browsed by a potential client while they fly from New York to Nassau, Bahamas - where they could also peruse it while sitting on a beach sipping an icy cold beverage!

You could distribute an entire web photo gallery and notes to your boss and team members for review as they travel home from a remote site visit.

You could create a greeting card for your less-than-internet-savvy family & friends to view on their computer at home without having to type a long URL into the address bar.

Show up at your next convention with a bagful of CDs and pass them out as you would business cards for folks to view as soon as they get them. You can put much more information on a CD than you can on a small 3.5" x 2" business card, anyway! Flash movies, interactive elements, sample designs - the choices are as endless as your design skills.

With HTMLstarter, there's no more searching for a pen & a scrap of paper to jot down a cryptic URL that will probably get lost or destroyed anyway. . .

In fact, there's no need to have a dot-com at all - everything is contained on the CD!
No slow connections ruining your presentation, no server errors, no typos in the web address.

Your web - your design - your presentation - the way you want it shown.
