What is JumpStart?
JumpStart is a web based application that connects to your FileMaker database.

JumpStart automatically generates all of the necessary icons for navigation and interacting with the database.

What about Security can everyone see my database?
The level of security you want to add to your site is up to you. JumpStart will automatically generate a login and logout system for you. This way the only people that can access the site are the ones that have a valid username and password.

Once I create a FileMaker website how do I view it on my mobile phone?
Once you use JumpStart to create your FileMaker website, you have two choices.  You can instantly download the files that you created.  JumpStart automatically zips them up for you. These files can then be run on any system with FileMaker Server 9 and PHP installed.

Why can't I build this website myself without JumpStart?
