Storyline as a web site development tool?
By
Mark Moore
Are there reasons why I couldn't or shouldn't build a web site using Articulate? I'm not a web site developer by profession but I need to build several relatively simple web sites pretty quickly. I've been using Articulate for a couple of months and if I can use Articulate to create my web sites, I won't have to learn a web tool.
Is it as simple as publishing an Articulate project as HTML-5 and then uploading the appropriate files and directories to my web host?
Thanks for any help or advice you can provide.

Sure you can, Mark.
Here is Bruce's and Stephanie's website built in Storyline.
After publishing the content, change your story.html file to index.html - should work fine.
Most excellent, Joanna, thanks!
Nice work by Bruce & Stephanie.
Articulate rocks. Articulate rocks hard!
Hi Mark, I haven't shared this anywhere else in the community yet but just recently updated my website using Storyline 2. Here's the link if you want to check it out - www.peppertec.com
Once I got it done in SL2, I did what Joanna described and uploaded to my hosted server. Good luck!
Very nice, Donna. Very stylish.
Hi Mark,
Here is some other information about embedding content into a web Page.
Only caution with Storyline's HTML5 output is accessibility is limited (as in non-existent). Folks that use assistive technology won't be able to get to your site in the HTML5 output. Publishing to a split output (Flash with HTML5 as a secondary) would provide some glimmer of hope for people with disabilities.
Thanks for the tips and pointers, Emily and Steve. I'm going to build the the three projects in Storyline then I'll probably be back with more questions. :)
