How to Add Pages and Create Web Site Structure

The next step is adding pages to the web site and organizing them in certain order. Click the Pages tab to add new pages and define their hierarchy.

A web site consists of several pages linked together in an organized way to present information in an ordered way. Using SiteBuilder, you can arrange the pages in the two levels of hierarchy - top-level pages and second-level pages. Therefore, before this stage you must clearly understand how you intend to structure your web site.

In this version of SiteBuilder, you can add three types of pages to your web site:

• HTML pages that use only HTML code to present information.
• Photo gallery provides a convenient way to store and organized your pictures on the web site (this type is optional; it depends on your business plan)
• E-shop pages offer web site visitors an opportunity to purchase your products online (this type is optional, it depends on your business plan).

Note: The maximum number of top-level and second-level pages you can create using SiteBuilder is 60 (6 top-level pages and 10 second-level pages). This is the limit of the SiteBuilder application. In addition, the total number of pages a user can add is also limited by the business plan defined either by the SiteBuilder administrator or a reseller. In the figure below, the maximum number of pages allowed by the business plan is 10 (see this message in the navigation pane on the Pages tab). If you want to add more pages than allowed by your plan, please contact the SiteBuilder administrator or reseller.

To facilitate working with SiteBuilder, HTML pages are grouped as predefined sets of pages, which are different for various types of web sites (business, personal, or other). Depending on the purpose and functionality of your future web site, you can use a ready-to-use page set and modify it to adjust the structure of your web site to your needs.

To add pages to the web site and organize them in a hierarchical structure:

1. Select a type of your future web site from the Web site type drop-down list. A set of pages for the selected type appear in the list below.
2. From the list, select the pages that you want to add to your web site using the corresponding check boxes.
3. Click the Add selected page(s) button to add the selected pages to the web site structure.
4. Edit the current structure of your web site using the buttons in the right part of the screen:
   • To add a new page to the web site structure, click Add New Page. An additional screen appears (in the figure below this screen is gray). Select the type of the page (HTML page, Photogallery page, or Shop page) from the Type drop-down list and type the title for the new page in the Title field.

     

   • To edit a page title, select the page in the list, click Edit Page Title, and type the new name in the Title field.
   • To delete a page, select it in the list and click Delete Page(s).
   • To move a page up or down at the same level, click Move Page Up or Move Page Down, respectively.
   • To move a page from the second level to the top level, click Move Page to Upper Level.
   • To move a page from the top level to the second level in the structure, click Move page to Lower Level. Pages at the second level are marked with "..." before their titles.
5. To preview the current version of your web site, click Preview web site in the top left corner of the window. Note that you can preview the web site at any stage of its creation.

When you finish working with the web site structure, click the Edit tab. You will be asked to save changes to the web site structure. Click OK to move to the Edit tab.
