Getting started building your website

Introduction to MaxWiki

Have you ever wanted to create a website for your classroom, community organization, personal interests, or any other reason but were daunted at having to learn a complicated programming language?

Do you have documents (like MS Word, Apple Keynote, photographs, or Adobe PDF for example) that you would like to have presented to others as a webpage?  And are these documents stored today in multiple places, like your PC or Mac, a network drive, or a document management program like Xythos?

MaxWiki was designed to allow non-technical people to easily build websites for presenting or publishing information for the benefit of colleagues, students, friends, customers, and really just about anyone.  Creating a website and putting your information onto webpages can be as simple as typing a letter on your computer.  If you have already written some of the information for your website and saved it in your word processing program or spreadsheet or presentation program, MaxWiki can take that information and put it directly onto your webpages.

You will be able to do all of this without having to learn programming languages like HTML or Java. Quite the opposite, MaxWiki allows anyone who is comfortable creating a document on their Mac or PC and browsing webpages using a web browser like Internet Explorer, Apple’s Safari, or Mozilla Firefox to easily present and just as importantly easily maintain the information on your website.

MaxWiki also provides features to facilitate multiple people collaborating on the information presented on a website.  Examples of this might be a classroom environment where the teacher has provided a website that allows students to work together on group projects whether they are at school or at home.  Another example might be a youth sports team website in which parents can easily share responsibility for keeping information about upcoming games, statistics about team performance, and other information relating to the kids and the team.
