About Marie Expertise I use Adobe Pagemill for the three sites I own. I`ve been a webdesginer for close to a year, and have used Pagemill as the primary webpage editor. I know how to create pages in Pagemill and how to upload them as well as add HTML scripts to the pages.

Question Hi Marie; I'm Brian, and an expert volunteer myself. But I'm new to web page design. In short, I have designed a nice, multi-page web site for my business (using PageMill 3.0), and it work great. I want to burn it on a CD to send to prospective clients as an advertisement. Ideally, I would like it to be self opening for both Mac and PC, or perhaps with an alias (mac) or a shortcut (PC) but I'm lost on how to make a prospective client's browser recognize the "web site" on the CD and open it effortlessly (or almost effortlessly :-)......Can you give me any pointers how to start this? I'm very good with the Mac and just your thoughts alone might be enough to get me going in the right direction. Thanks (from one volunteer to another!)
Answer An HTML document in the CD should work on both Macs & PCs.
As for your shortcut thing, I would put the HMTL stuff in a seprate folder & then create an alias on the CD with the Mac & then use a PC to create a PC shortcut.
I have no idea how to create one that will work on both (I mostly use Macs myself), so hopefully this will work.
