Sharing Corel Website Creator X6 Site Files

Templates are the only effective way to share Corel Website Creator X6 site files among several developers or across platforms. You cannot copy a Sitename.nod file to another computer and open it, because the file refers to files and styles that are not contained in the Sitename.nod file itself.

To distribute or move a Corel Website Creator X6 site:

  1. Export the site as a template according to the information in Exporting a Site.

  2. Copy the template .zip file to the target computer via network, disk, or other storage media. Locate the template so you do not have to move it after you create the site. This ensures that the assets are mapped correctly. Also make sure the folder and file names are not truncated or changed in the process.

  3. Start Corel Website Creator X6 on the destination computer.

  4. From the File menu, choose New Site>From Template.

The Select a Template File dialog appears.

  1. Open the template’s folder, select the TemplateName.zip file, and click Open.

  2. In the Save Site As dialog, enter a name for the new site in the File name field, select the location where you want to save the site, and click Save.

The site that was created in Corel Website Creator X6 on the source computer is now the active site, with its own Sitename.nod file, on the destination computer.

If you open a template that uses a font which is not on your system, Corel Website Creator X6 substitutes the browser proportional font specified on the Text tab of the Options dialog. The original font is available for you to apply to any new text box in the site, but the font is not displayed unless you open the site on a system that has that font.
