I’m looking to build a simple website. does anyone have a sample template or can point me to a good book?

A sample template would be a big help.

Best regards,

Mark

If you simply create a form in Notes Designer, you can access it through the web…

http://<SERVER_ADDRESS>/<DATABASE_NAME>/<FORM_NAME>?OpenForm

Yep. I appreciate and understand that.

Okay… so I guess i’m looking for something more integrated. What looking to build is a website (e.g. a main page that has buttons or links to “products”, “Services”, “About Us”, etc.)

Anyone have a template or can recommend a book that EXPLAINS this?

thanks,

There really ain’t one, yet. The best resources you’ll find are the “Dominoid” blogs. See this oldish posting for some good links:

Again, what you’ve described I could put together in at least eight completely different ways (different in fundamental architecture, not in implementation details). There’s no such thing as a “generic website template”. A commericial web site is really an application. If you know anything at all about Notes developement, think in terms of Notes structures (forms, pages, views, agents and so forth), keeping in mind that HTML means that a view never really has to be a table unless you want it to be. Where are your data coming from, and where should they go?
