Something to Start With
Have you ever noticed that it's easier to edit and refine something that already exists than to create something entirely from scratch?
Well, this is the idea behind the Quickstart Wizard: to give you a foundation to work from. In just a few clicks, you'll have a fully-functional website.
This way, you start out with "OK, I have a website. What do I want to change about it?" instead of
"Ok, I have a blank white screen...What do I do now?" If you’ve never used BIPmedia Pro Edition before, and especially if you’ve never built a website at all before,
this is a wonderfully fast and natural way to get into the swing of things.
