Adding and Editing a new web page

Intro – Your website is like an inverted tree; the home page being the root. From the home page the next step is onto the landing pages for each vertical. So for each vertical you create a child page on the home page.

 

You need IE7 or above or Mozilla Firefox to use the admin site. Please check your browser version before proceeding.

Also check the following:

IE7 and IE8 – Change the cache settings – Select Tools menu;

Select Internet Options;

In the Browsing History section select Settings;

Change the Check for newer versions of stored pages option to Every time I visit the webpage;

Select OK;

Select OK again.

The Page Level is 2 – these are your verticals, you have seven entries to make.

Page Name – Keep this short as it will be used to create the menu item on your public website.

Page Category - Web Page is the default.

Business Vertical - this is used for different areas of your business. Generally these are displayed in the Header Menu.

Landing Page - any page can be this. You can have different layouts for this page.

Home Page - select this option only when you are creating a home page.

Menu Option – Draft - select this option when you want to take a menu out or offline (Although, if anyone has a link to this page, then they will still be able to view it)

Dynamic Menu -This is the default

Header Menu - Select this if you want this menu displayed on the header menu at the top of the page. This would be displayed on all the pages in your website.

Footer Menu - Select this if you want this menu displayed on the footer menu at the bottom of the page. This would be displayed on all the pages in your website.

Page Type – Public Site Page is the default. You can choose a different option depending on how you want your page to be laid out.

Public Site Blog - if your page is a blog. This will allow you to then link to a Blog Group.

Public News Page - Select this option if this is a news page.

Page Keywords – enter keywords relevant to this page separated by commas. Try to use phrases rather than single words. Again try not to fill the box.

Page Synopsis – enter a short starter paragraph for the web page, this will normally be the page opening paragraph or used to summarise the content of the web page to search engines.

Page Full Text – this is all the text you want to display on the page. An idea is to type and format the content in MS Word or Wordpad, then copy and paste into the space provided. The editing tools take some getting used to but don’t get bogged down with them now.
