Hi folks
I like the idea of using Actinic as the home page like this example site from actinic.co.uk
http://www.ascolights.co.uk/
Can someone tell me where to get started? How do you create your site index.html page within Actinic?
Thanks.

There are two approaches to this.

1) Create a 'Brochure' page with Actinic. You can do this by doing a right click on the green 'Online Catalogue' icon within Actinic and selecting 'New Page'. If you then click the 'Use as Web Ste Home Page' button then this page will be uploaded to the root of the site.

2) Create a 'bounce page' that automatically takes customers through to the '/acatalog/index.html' file. Sample code for this page is:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="0; URL='http://<mysite>/acatalog'">
<TITLE></TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P>Please wait to be forwarded to our catalog or press
<A HREF="http://<mysite>/acatalog">here</A>. </P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
