I’ve been talking about screencasts for a little while, but the time wasn’t right to make one because I needed to get my applications updated for the new website look and feel. With the release of simpleContact Lite 1.21, I can start with the free version.
Here’s a video that walks through the installing simpleContact Lite. Hopefully it clarifies the process for you. It’s only about two minutes long, but believe me it took longer than that to make!
In case you’re curious, I used ScreenFlow for the Mac to record and edit this video. It’s a well designed, powerful tool and well worth the price – I highly recommend it. The text editor I used was TextMate and the FTP client was Transmit.
The music is called Green and Gorgeous and is available from AudioJungle.
I’ll be adding more screencasts to the YouTube channel over the next few months. Stay tuned!
Hi Alex
This is a good start! The next could perhaps be on how to customize the look of the various pages.
ScreenFlow is a great program which I enjoy a lot. It can take a lot of effort to create screencasts. One has to figure out what to include and how to do it, and that can sometimes be tricky.
Have a great day!
Thanks! I know what you mean about making a screencast. The recording and editing is straightforward enough, but choreographing the situation to remove all possible distractions and avoid “shaky mouse hand” can be quite tricky!
Do you mean you’d like a video on how to rebrand the admin pages? I’m sure I could do something with that.
The next video I’m planning to do is how to use the admin, and after that one that shows how to integrate the contact form into a web page.
