Site Setup & Default Site Layout

Site Setup Window

The Site Name was set when you created your site. You can change it here, and choose whether or not to have it included in the title bar of every page. If you add it to the page title, the title becomes [site name] - [title]. Otherwise it will just be [title] (title is set in Page Setup).

Background Color and Background Image control what exists behind the areas, and are set in the "Background Settings..." pane. Choose a color from those you have created, or upload an image. Images get repeated automatically, starting from the upper left of the window (no repeat and alignment control is coming soon).

Home Page is where you select the default page loaded when someone goes to your site.

Error Page is where you specify what page you want to load if someone goes to a bad URL (web address) at your site. The specified page will load instead of the default '404 Page Not Found' error page. Enter the page using the pg1234.html format. Page ID numbers can be found in the Site Map.

Clicking the 'Save Settings' button will commit any changes you've made, and refresh the main page.

Default Site Layout

The Default Site Layout window shown above is found at Toolbar > Site Tools > Layout. Here you can activate and choose the default areas used throughout your site. You can also choose the default background color for each area and set the default site width. All of these settings can be overridden at the page level in Toolbar > This Page > Layout.

Click the check-boxes in the diagram at top to activate or deactivate an area. The page will refresh allowing you to choose which area and background color is used for each activated area. For the right and left areas, a width field will show as well. The body width is automatically calculated and is the site width minus the width of the left and right areas.

The site width can be specified in pixels or by percentage.

All of the settings in the Default Site Layout can be overridden for a specific page by using the Page Layout window. You can find it in Toolbar > This Page > Page Layout.
