| Templates
Make Good Design |
|
By
starting with one of our many
professionally designed site
templates, you will start
off on the right track. Logo
images and headlines can be
changed by the user but the
header artwork is fixed. This
encourages focus on the content
of the site and helps you
build a good looking site
quickly without getting bogged
down with the details of graphic
design. |
|
| As
Easy as Word Processing |
|
There
are no invisible tables or
other artifacts of the template's
design. One simply clicks
and types. The editing tool
bar will be familiar to anyone
who has used a word processor. |
|
| Add Pages |
|
Each site
template comes with 20+ page
templates that can be incorporated
into the site. These "pre-fab"
pages come in a variety of
layout styles and also demonstrate
features such as fill-out
forms, photo galleries, blogs
and eCommerce via Paypal |
|
| Automatic
Navigation |
|
As
pages are added, deleted or
renamed, the menu is automatically
updated. All site templates
come with multiple levels
of menus so that large sites
can be easily managed without
"crowding" the menus.
Even the slick graphical style
menus are fully automatic.
|
|
| Color Schemes |
|
Each site
template comes in a variety
of color schemes. This may
be selected as the site is
created and it can be changed
at any time. |
|
PayPal
eCommerce |
|
Ecommerce
is easy with PayPal. All of
the product information is
accessible in the 'add to
cart' button. Site Builder
formats the PayPal cart buttons
in much the same way as the
'button maker' on the PayPal
site. |
|
| Site Integrity |
|
Site Builder
uses database technology
to store the site. Unlike
file-based tools, all of
the individual elements
of the site are indexed
and cross referenced. One
can rename pages, move pages
around and delete items
without worrying about broken
links or name conflicts.
Best of
all the site is written
to HTML files when the site
is published. This means
the site is served directly
from Apache without database
access.

Site
Builder Pro Upgrade is for
Advanced Users |
| Full Layout
Control |
|
Site Builder
Pro comes with a 'Layout
Mode' which lets you drag
and resize these blocks
to create customized layouts.
Site Builder Pro is the
only product on the market
to offer this feature. In
practice, this means you
can modify the template
headers and provide your
own complete site layouts.
You can also add and position
content anywhere on any
page.
Site Builder Pro achieves
its simplicity by keeping
pictures and blocks of text
outside of the table structure.
This means that the layout
can be changed without understanding
complex table structures
that are typically used
in modern site designs.
Another
unique feature of Site Builder
Pro is that it does not
use absolute positioning
of layers. Once you layout
your blocks, the entire
page will stretch and shrink
as you add and subtract
content to/from these blocks.
Best of all, there will
be no problem with content
colusion because of varying
font sizes on target browsers.

|
| Page
Masters |
|
Site
Builder templates have common
headers, footers and navigational
elements. With Site Builder
Pro, these can be updated
and the changes reflected
throughout the site. Multiple
levels of page masters are
used so that elements that
are truly common throughout
the site (such as the footer
copyright notice) get changed
in one and only one place. |
|
| Color Palettes |
|
Palettes
provide global control over
all colors used in the site.
Changing colors in the palette
will change the colors throughout
the site. Unique color shifting
technology can even change
the color of images. |
|
| Style
sheets |
|
Style
sheets provide global control
over style attributes such
as font faces, sizes, colors,
margins, line height and link
styles. |
|
| Unlimited
Navigation |
|
Menus may
be added anywhere in the site.
Menus are automatically generated
from the folder structure
for pages. This provides an
unlimited depth in nesting
menus. The style and artwork
for menus and menu elements
can also be changed with Site
Builder Pro. |
|
| Composite
Graphics |
|
Today's
web sites use simple graphical
concepts such as rounded corners
and decorative borders on
text blocks. Site Buider Pro
uses multi-part, 'composite'
images for complex shapes
so that they can be stretched
and sized while preserving
the integrity of their design.
These composite images can
be applied as backgrounds
to any element on the page.
New composite images can be
created with Site Builder
Pro. |
|
| Multiple
Sites |
|
You can create
multiple web sites with Site
Builder Pro. The way that
this works depends on the
control panel being used but
includes support for sub-sites
(sites that have a suffix
on the domain name), sub-domains
and 'add on' domains. |
