Figure 123. The start up screen in Serif Web Plus SE, choose “Start from scratch”.
The first thing to do in a web application to be used in a digital signage application is to choose the
correct size of the page. The size is determined by the dimensions of the region of the screen where you
intend to put the web page.
In our “Ticker” video mode we have an image area at the bottom of the page that is 1280 x 208 pixels.
Therefore we want to produce a web page that has these dimensions.
First select “Edit”=>”Page Properties” (Figure 123). In the “Page Properties” menu deselect master
and select (none) (Figure 124). Once in the “Properties” menu you select “Width”=1280 pixels and
“Height”= 208 pixels (Figure 125).
The result is the strange looking web page in figure 126. However it is well suited for its cause. Building
applications like this is very much about using conventional web technology but for new purposes.
