Welcome to SiteLinker!
SiteLinker is a web site authoring tool that facilitates web page creation and linking. With it, you can quickly create a web site, document a project, or create help files like the ones you're viewing now! Creating and editing web pages is very fast and easy, and this program allows you to concentrate on the content of your pages without having to spend time maintaining links, references to other pages, and other tedious functions normally associated with web site creation.
It's also a great way to learn HTML and how to use Cascading Style Sheets.
The site it creates is very simple, clean, and easily for users to navigate. It needs only HTML and CSS components; no scripting is required, though you can add scripts (such as JavaScript) to your pages if you desire. There are trade-offs, of course, but if this style suits your website needs, you will find that the time you spend creating and maintaining it is just a fraction of what you might otherwise need.

Unlike a What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG) tool, in SiteLinker you directly edit the HTML source and once you "Apply" the changes, you see the results in the preview window. This has both benefits and drawbacks, depending on how you prefer to write your web pages.
The drawbacks are obvious: you don't see the effect in real-time as you're typing.
The benefits are a little more subtle:
- You're not at the mercy of the editor to provide you the tools and formatting options you need while editing.
- Instead of spending your time learning the application, in SiteLinker you spend the time learning HTML. If you already know HTML, there is almost no learning curve when creating your website.
- The source code of your HTML pages is far simpler and easier to understand.
It's true, SiteLinker is designed for people who understand or wish to learn HTML and CSS. But ultimately, to be effective at creating websites, you're going to need to understand them eventually.
Admittedly with SiteLinker, you probably won't be creating award-winning websites, since it is structured for quickly creating and maintaining web pages, help files, and general documentation. But you'll be able to do those things really fast.
