Screen: ShopSite > Pages > Add Several Pages
Use the Add Several Pages feature to create several pages at once, without having to enter values for all fields.
Consult the list below for explanations of the different fields.
Page Name |
The name of the page is used to describe the page in the list of pages in your Back Office, and must be unique. You may optionally also display the name at the top of the page. |
Title |
This field allows you to specify text to be used in the HTML title tag, the contents of which are displayed in the browser window title bar. If this is left blank, most templates will use the Page Name for this field. |
Select the graphic, if any, that you want to appear on the top of this page. It will appear above the text and products on the page or down the left side of the page, depending on the page theme or template that you choose. See the Image Tool help for more information on selecting an image.
If you want to insert an image anywhere else on the page, use an HTML tag in that field. |
|
Text 1 |
This is the primary text on the page. It will usually appear beside or below the banner graphic, depending on the page theme or template that you choose. You can enter any combination of text and HTML into this field.
This field supports use of the HTML Editor. |
Text 2 |
This is the secondary text on the page. It will usually appear below the products, depending on the page theme or template that you choose. You can enter any combination of text and HTML into this field.
This field supports use of the HTML Editor. |
Text 3 |
This is a third field for text on the page. It will usually appear just above the page footer, depending on the page theme or template that you choose. You can enter any combination of text and HTML into this field.
This field supports use of the HTML Editor. |
Links to Page |
Click on the Select button to bring up a new window that will allow you to select which pages you want links to this page to appear on. The top box lists all the pages that are set to have links to your current page. To remove a page from the list, select it and click on the Delete button. The page name will now appear in the lower box, which is a list of pages that do not have links to the current page. You can select pages from the lower box and click on the Add button to move the pages to the top box. When you are finished making changes, click on OK to save your changes, or Cancel to close the window without saving. |
Layout InfoThese options give you control over formatting the products and page links that appear on your page. |
|
Page Template |
There are several page themes and templates to choose from to customize your store's look and feel. If you have applied a theme to your store, selecting a different template here may give unexpected results. See the Page Templates documentation for a description of the different page themes and templates. There are also several product templates that you can use to control the way that individual products are displayed. |
Text Color |
This is the color that will be used for normal (non-link) text on this page. This color is set when you select a theme, or you can change it using the Color Picker Tool. Page text should usually be a dark color that contrasts with the background color. |
Background Color |
This is the color that will be used in the background of your page. This color is set when you select a theme, or you can change it using the Color Picker Tool. If there is a background image, the image will cover the background color. The background color should usually be a light color that contrasts with the page content. |
Link Color |
This is the color that will be used for unvisited links on your page. This color is set when you select a theme, or you can change it using the Color Picker Tool. It is usually a good idea to make the link color easily distinguishable from the text color. |
Visited Link Color |
This is the color that will be used for links that a visitory has already visited. This color is set when you select a theme, or you can change it using the Color Picker Tool. This color is usually, but not always, different from the link color. |
Active Link Color |
This is the color that will be used for links that are active, meaning a customer has clicked on them. Several templates also use this for the link hover color, meaning the link will change to this color when a customer's cursor is over the link. This color is set when you select a theme, or you can change it using the Color Picker Tool. This color is frequently the same as the visited color. |
A background image is an image displayed behind the content of the page (but in front of the background color), and can significantly improve the visual appeal of the page. This image is set when you select a theme, or you can change it using the Image Tool. Most templates will tile the background image, repeating it across and down the page, to cover the entire page. For this reason, it is usually a good idea to use an image specifically designed as a background image. The Elite and Gradient Page Templates are great examples of using a background image to add a distinctive look to the page. |

Advanced Info |
|
File Name |
This setting is optional. Use this field to give the page a file name that describes the page's contents, such as "wooden_toys.html" or "customer_service.html." Be sure to put a .html or .htm suffix on the end of the file name, or the page will not display correctly. If you do not assign a name to the page, it will have a default file name, such as page1.html or page2.html.
The file name cannot contain spaces or any of the following characters: '?', '+', '=', '&', '@' |
