CorelDRAW has long been a favorite with the graphics design community. A reputation for ease of use and intuitive design has made CorelDRAW a staple of vector graphics design since its release in 1989. The current release is CorelDRAW X4, which has the ability to export drawing directly to web pages. This feature allows designers with no technical development skills to create websites entirely within CorelDRAW.
Instructions
1. Create a drawing in CorelDRAW. The position of the different graphic elements displays how the layout will appear later when exported to a web page. CorelDRAW will automatically generate that layout in the finished page.
2. Create hyperlinks by right clicking on any object within the drawing and choosing "Properties." The “Object Properties" dialog will open. Choose the “Internet" tab and insert the hyperlink. Click "Apply" to assign the link.
3. Choose "Publish to the Web" from the File menu. Select "HTML" from the expanded menu. An options dialog box will appear with all of the available options for creating a web page.
4. Set the save options from the "General" tab. Configure the directories for the website and what pages to export.
5. Select the "Details" tab and set the name for each exported web page. If hyperlinks on one page point to a different page in the site, ensure the page names match the hyperlink location.
6. Check the "Issues" tab for any potential design issues that will be a problem when creating the website. If issues exist, fix them before exporting the site.
7. Click "Okay" to generate the site's web pages. After page creation, preview the output in a web browser to make certain that the layout is as expected.
