2.1 Selecting the design The design determines the arrangement of text, navigation and graphical elements. This way it is ensured that all pages of the Website have a uniform and professional look and feel. A design is defined by the design template and its additional characteristics such as the color, main graphic or the design details like fonts and font colors. This way you can adapt the design according to your own ideas. Due to the huge number of combination options every design is unique in its appearance. Note: The options to select colors, fonts or main graphics are always dependent on the design you have chosen. To select the design template,
Some of the designs in the design selection are represented by one or more symbols:
Viewing additional designs:
Use one or more search filters:
Tip: If you have filtered the designs, you can obtain the entire selection again by calling the filtering function and deactivating all filters. You can create a list of favorites for those designs you like most. To do this, proceed as follows:
To manage your favorites,
When clicking on the " Color " link, located in the left column, the style you've selected is shown in different colors. Choose the color that best represents your company, and make sure it matches your company logo: it will be all the easier for your customers to recognize your company. The choice of the background color is crucial. As a general rule, lighter colors, like pastel shades, should be used for the background, allowing your text or pictures to stand out. The term " Main graphic " relates to any picture, designer
symbol present throughout your site and in line with your company branch.
The image gallery offers you a wide range of choices, to endow your style
with a personal touch, tailored to your page. |

3.1 Select text and background colors 3.1 Select text and background colors The " Text color " section lets you choose a color for your text. Give priority to the legibility of the text. When using a light background, choose a darker font color, and conversely, so as to create a contrast between text and background. The selected color will be applied throughout your site. 3.2 Select another type of button Some designs let you choose from different kinds of buttons. Select the
button you feel is most adapted to the style of your site. The font types proposed are fully supported by any browser, and particularly adapted to your design. Your choice must not be based on taste alone but must also contribute to the clarity of your page: make sure the font type matches your headings and buttons. All the fonts presented here have been tested and approved by customers. In Step 3 -" Design Details"- click on "Logo" to incorporate your logo into your chosen design, upload it directly from your PC: click on " Upload ", select the path to your logo, fill in the fields of the dialog box, and click on "upload".

Click on "Apply" to insert it into your chosen site design. If you feel adding your name/ company name is not necessary, leave the
field empty or use it to write your company motto or slogan. |

| 4. Arrangement
4.1 Define a site tree The sitemap reflects the tree of your site, that is the organization and the way the different sections relate to one another. Each section and subsection represents a page of your site. We suggest you take our two proposals as a starting point to organize your site map: they are laid out ideally for a site such as yours. Of course, feel free to modify the order as well as the contents of the site map. Select either proposal by clicking on the corresponding button at the bottom of the column: check that you have chosen the right design in the "your selection" section. If you wish to select only some of the proposed sections or subsections, you can do so by clicking on the chosen sections directly. It is also possible to create a section or subsection by creating a new page or overwriting the name of an existing section or subsection. The name of each section must be carefully chosen and is fundamental as it gives the visitor an immediate snapshot of what is to be found in the section. From a section to a subsection, you go from general to more specific: the deeper the visitor goes into your site, the more specific and detailed the information. Also bear in mind that a visitor reads the site from top to bottom: the sections should be organized accordingly. You can define the elements of the contents of each section in the next step of Website Creator. 4.2 View and organize file tree The "your selection" columns displays the sections and subsections as they are selected. The control buttons located right of this column allow you to define their level (main section or subsection) but also to insert, delete or rename them. (see below) The "New menu item" option can be used at any time: it allows you to create a section and the corresponding page contents: just click on "New menu item": a new section called "new page" will appear in the "your selection" section. To create a subsection, first create a section (see 4.3.). Then make it a subsection by clicking the "In 2nd level" button. 4.5 Organize your sections and subsections The "One position up" and "One position down" buttons let you shift sections and subsections vertically so as to arrange them by order of priority. Click on the section or subsection to be renamed and enter the new name where prompted. 4.7 Convert a subsection into a main section Select the subsection to be converted, and click on the "In 1st level" button. 4.8 Delete a main section or subsection Click the section or subsection to be deleted, and then on the control
button (X) "Delete menu item". Click "OK". |

5.1.1 Mode and rulers The operations set out here can be carried out at stage 5. "Edit" where you will be asked to enter your text, pictures, and other content elements. All new elements are to be typed in directly in the navigation window. The navigation window can either be in "Edit" or "Preview" mode. To switch modes you can either, click on "Edit mode" or "Preview" from the "File" menu, click on the icons located on the task bar, or you can also use the shortcut keys F8 (Preview) or F9 (Edit). By default, the selected page appears in "Edit" mode. Only this mode allows you to modify text or image elements. Finally, to help you with the layout of your page, you can use rulers in order to separate your paragraphs or tables: in "Options", just select "Paragraph rulers" or "Table rulers". The "Full Screen" mode lets you have a larger overview of the different elements used to compose your page. You'll find the "Full Screen" option in the Web Site Creator menu bar, under the "File" main menu. Enabling this option will hide the menu bars and upper icons, leaving only the Edit menu. Use the "Preview" mode to view the site just as a Customer would, proof read the contents and verify the links: thus presenting a flawless site to your visitors. The Preview mode (F8) can be used in Step 5 "Text/Images" or in a different navigation window. If you click on "File" and then "Preview in a new window" this will open a new window. The sub menu "Preview mode" (F8) lets you view the page in the current window of web site creator. In the "Preview" mode (F8), the Menu bar and the Tool bar do not offer any editing options. To add new content or change the existing one, go back to the "Edit" mode. 5.1.4 Formatting and page setup The content editing tool is easy-to-use: you can create paragraphs, tables, or lists, and add pictures to any of them. The main rule of thumb with this tool is simple: consider the paragraphs, tables and lists as blocks. When creating a paragraph for instance, you'll need to create it either above or below another paragraph, table or list: never inside. The same applies to tables or lists. The design of the different layouts is very simple: in stage 3 "
Design Details ", you defined the size and font type
of your text and headings. Now from the "paragraph" menu, "Change
layout", you'll be able to choose from 3 different formats for your
paragraph: "Heading", "second Heading" and "standard
text" 5.1.5 Create, edit, or delete paragraphs In stage 5 "Edit", "paragraph", using the "Edit " mode, you can:
5.1.6 Create, edit and delete tables Tables are useful to position or align text or pictures: for instance, let's say you want to write some text and lay it out in columns, like in newspapers: the way to do that is to create a table with several columns and insert your text or pictures in the table (see 5.3.5 & 5.1.1). The grids will not appear in the online page: these tables are only here to help you build your page. However, if you wish the grid lines to appear in the layout stage, you can turn them on or off via the "options" menu. In stage 5 "Edit", "table", using the "Edit" mode, you can:
Make sure you select a position in the table, and that you specify where you want the new row or column to be created: "above" or "below". 5.1.7 Create, edit and delete lists Creating a list means creating an indented bullet point ("list item") followed by some text. In stage 5 "Edit", "list", using the "Edit" mode, you can: Create a list with "New list" or convert a list into a paragraph (or conversely) using "List on/off". Shift the list using the "move list up" or "move list down" button. Delete the list with the "delete list" button. Within each list, you can insert, move around or delete bullets using "New list item", "Move list item up/down" or "delete list item".If you already have some text ready in text format (.txt) and you wish to use it, you can import it: select it pressing the "Ctrl" + "C" keys simultaneously. Then place the cursor where you want the text inserted, and click on "Ctrl" + "V". The text will be copied left of the cursor. This is what you wish to achieve: a visitor to your site clicks on an
isolated word, a full paragraph or a picture, and you want this action
to take him to a specific part of your site, any other website , a mailbox
or a download dialog box: you need to create a hyperlink linking from
this word, text or picture. For your visitor to be taken from your website to another site, or a file to download, click the "External" link in the "Link" window. Then type the full address the hyperlink must take visitors to (for instance http://www.yourdomain.com) . Click OK. If you wish to redirect the visitor to an email interface for them to
write to a specific email address (for instance info@yourname.com), select
"External" and enter "mailto" followed by the email
address the visitor will be able to send a message to: Just as text, images can also serve as links. In "Edit" mode, click on the selected picture and click on "link". You can have your texts proofread by the spell checker. First select the desired language by choosing "Extras" in the menu bar, and then "Select language". Click "Extras" again, and then "Spell checker". A new window opens, specify whether the full document should be checked or only the text block right of the cursor. Click on "check document". When the spell checker comes across a term not in its dictionary, several options are proposed: if you still think your spelling is correct, click "Ignore". If you wish to use one of the proposed spellings, click on the term proposed, and then "Modify". The spell check will then resume. 5.2 Edit using Mozilla / Firefox 5.2.1 Mode and rulers The operations set out here can be carried out at stage 5 "Edit" where you will be asked to enter your text, pictures, and other content elements. All new elements are to be typed in directly in the navigation window. The navigation window can either be in "Edit" or "Preview" mode.
