Creating Your Index Page

Click in the left column and add a table which will hold the site menu.

Use the following settings:

Repeat in the right column using the same settings.

You will have something like this:

Add your text, or buttons if you have them, to each of the cells in the left and right tables.

We now need to make sure that all 3 columns will be the same height.

To do this, put your mouse to the left of the first column and when it turns into a
dark arrow, click once and the set of tables will be selected.

Right click anywhere on the dark part and go to table properties.

Set the height to 357 In Pixels (Please note: you might need a different height depending on the content of your menu. I just try different heights until I find the one I like. Each time I make a change, I click the save icon and go to my preview internet page. I then click the refresh button and view my changes.)

Click OK

Repeat this for all 3 columns and your page will look like this:

Select your text by dragging your mouse over it and set your font size and style. Remember, not everyone will be able to see all the fonts you've put in your fonts folder. They'll only be able to see the font you've chosen if you use a font that comes with every pc or if they have the same font in their font folder.

Keeping your text selected, click on the arrow at the side of the Text Colour icon

Click on More Colours

You will now have the following window:

Click on the colour you want your text and click OK.

I added another set of tables underneath my main content tables, for my page credits.

You will have something like this:

I decided I liked it better without the spaces in between the sets of tables so I deleted them!

This is how it looks in FrontPage:

And this is how it looks on the web.

You now have a choice of tutorials. You can follow the one that shows you how to add an inline frame to your welcome page.
(An inline frame would go in the middle column and each time you click on a menu item, it will open in the middle column.)

If you don't want to use an inline frame, you can create new pages for each of your menu items and link to them from the welcome page.

Both tutorials can be found HERE
