Creating Invisible Gold Powered WebsitesThis section is for experienced web designers. Invisible Gold is designed to work with the tools that you already know how to use such as Macromedia Dreamweaver or Microsoft FrontPage.
On the other hand, it assumes at least a basic comfort with modifying the source code of an HTML page. Creating a site involves adding special tags and transferring files to and from the server.
