Advanced
Page Layouts
The Advanced Page Layouts allow for more
flexibility than the Basic Page Layouts. Each advanced layout has
space for a title space and menu buttons. The advanced paged
layouts allow you to customize all your border colors, inside
colors, background colors, and menu colors. You can also pick
Boutique / e-Commerce Style layouts which include main menu
buttons at the top (below the title space) and Search, Shop
Online (with categories listed below), and View Cart on the right
or left hand side.
Note: you
can always change the layout with two clicks --
select the layout you want by clicking in the circle above the
layout (below layout 3 is selected). Then scroll down to the
bottom and click on Continue. You can see the change
immediately by clicking on the Website Home icon at the top.
Remember that you may need to refresh your page.
After you select your advanced layout, you
should still:
- Select the Advanced Layout colors -
this is generally easier to do if you already selected
your title space because then you can match to the colors
you are using in your title space. So, do the step below
first.
- Title space - You can make your own
using the Customize The Template Title feature or Select a Blank Image from
Gallery (located in the Page Properties section). If you
choose to make your own title space, make sure you check
the pixel width for the layout you selected. Most will
say 780 pixels across. This means your title space should
be no more than 780 pixels across because, otherwise,
your layout will stretch out larger than some people's
monitors allow (resulting in them having a side to side
bar at the bottom).
- Make Menu Button Images
- Select your background and link colors
under Page, Font & Link colors
- If you haven't done so yet, make sure
you Define the Order of your Menu Buttons
Once you do the above, the look of your
website is complete.
