The Amazing Portal Generator

RTG's Amazing Portal Generator (the APG for short) lets you design your own Web portal. Choose links from a list we provide or add your own. Choose buttons from a list of pre-coded buttons which you can customize. Buttons can do a Web search, get a stock quote, or retrieve a local weather forecast. You can customize your portal with your choice of colors and fonts.

When your design is complete, the APG writes your Web portal to a disk file. If you double-click this file, your Web browser starts up and displays the portal.

You don't need to know HTML, the language of the Web, to create a Web portal with the APG. Your design specifications are translated by the APG into the appropriate HTML commands.

This program is freeware.

Addendum 23 May 2003:: APG is OK, in as far as it goes, but if you actually know HTML, you'll likely find it a bit limiting. And I found the interface a bit awkward. I did use it for generating the code for a bunch of search boxes quickly and painlessly, so that's a good thing. In all, not bad for a free toy, but hardly a "serious" tool.
