FirstClass HomePage Construction Kit (HCK) web pages are easy to create and update.  We are now using HCK-3 (version 3) which has more options available for creating your web page.

Use the links on the left to create your FirstClass web page/web site.  You have to follow all five steps to complete your web page.  

I have also added links on how to add clipart & pictures, how to use a different background (other than the HCK backgrounds) and adding the Left Column Navigation Bar if you need additional links.




Want to work on your web page from home?  Simply download FirstClass to your home computer.
To download the First Class client onto your home computer - please follow these steps.
1. Double click to download the client: FirstClass 9.002 exe
2. Save to your desktop.
3. Double-click the fcupgrade icon on your desktop
4. Then just follow the prompts (just click OK or next)
5. When it has finished installing – click “Finished”
6. The log on screen should then come up – click on the “SetUp” button
7. Add the server name (found in the middle of that screen) - mail.ldisd.net
8. Click “Save” and then log in.

Loading the HCK-3 template onto your computer
We have a new version of the HCK web page template, so you need to go to the Technology Info folder and do the following (in this order) - before the web template is available.  To Use the new web page features - HomePage Construction Kit
