There are several types of link you can create. A link to a website address, an email link, a link to a
file (for download e.g. PDF, document, mpeg etc), a link to another page in your site, a PayPal link
(to sell things) and a login link (provides a link to the pop-up login panel). All of these are available
from the Link tab on the page Editor (Screen 16, B) and can be used at different times for different
purposes.
Turning Text Into a Link
Making your text linkable is as simple as click and drag. Once your text box is in Edit mode (double
click on the text box) you can highlight any word or sentence (Screen 17, A), then go to the Editor
and select the Link tab. You then need to chose what type of link you want, fill in the appropriate
details and click 'Apply' to make the link active.
For example, to create a link to a web page on another site you need to highlight the text, click on
the web link icon (Screen 17, B), then simply add the URL or web site address to the empty field
before clicking the ‘Apply’ button to set the link. NB. * Don’t forget, you can only link text when
using standard (system) fonts.

Image and Button Links
The same process is used when applying links to images or to button links. Once the image or
button link has been selected you can use the Link tab on the Editor to choose the type of link you
wish to apply and then choose your web address, email address, file, internal page etc. Always
remember to click 'Apply' to set the link.
Testing Your Links
Links will not be active while you are in edit mode, e.g. they will not respond when you click on
them. So the best way to test your links is to save your changes and then use the ‘View my site’
option (Screen 17, C), taking you into 'View mode'. This displays how visitors would view your site
and allows all links, navigation and features to work correctly.

Adding and Organising Pages
You can add new pages, change the name of existing pages, or change the order in which your
pages are listed in your menu, by using the 'Organise pages' function.
This can be found on the ‘Toolbar' by clicking on the 'Pages' button, then the 'Organise your pages'
option (Screen 18, A). Once you have selected 'Organise your pages', the 'Pages' panel will
appear. This shows each of your pages in the order they appear in the menu.
Screen 18
Changing the name of your page in the menu
The name of your page, and how it appears in the site menu, is displayed on the 'Pages' panel in a
text box, e.g. 'Welcome'. You can click in this text box, delete the current text and insert a new
page name (Screen 18, B). Remember to keep your page names short and relevant, as a long
description won't always fit on the menu buttons.
Changing the order of your pages
Your pages are shown in a numbered list indicating the order they are displayed in the menu.
There is a 'drag' area in the centre of each page item, which you can use to change the order of
the pages (Screen 18, C). Simply click on the 'drag' area and drag the page up or down to the
position you want it. The order of the other pages will then be adjusted so that they are
renumbered correctly.
Making a page a sub-page
You can make one of your pages a sub-page of another page, meaning it is not displayed in the
main menu, but will appear as another option (or sub-menu) when you roll over the 'parent' page
or menu item. Next to the page number on the left is an arrow, one for each page, labelled 'Create
subpage' (Screen 18, D). Simply click on the arrow to make your page a 'sub-page' of the parent
page above or click again to revert it back to a parent page. This will be shown by indenting the

page relative to its 'parent' which may be several sub-pages above. A right arrow drops the page
down a level (indents) while the left arrow returns the page to a higher level.
Adding a new page
You can add a new page to your site by clicking on the 'Add a new page' button in the top right
hand corner of the page. (Screen 19, A)
Screen 19
You will then be asked to select the type of page you want to add, e.g. 'Blank page’, which will be a
template for your new page. Pick the one that's closest to your purpose, but don't worry, you can
add anything you like to your page later. Next you will be asked to give the page a name (which
will appear in the website menu), set the visibility (you can hide pages for privacy or while you
work on them). Clicking ‘Next’ will now give you option to place your page before or after specific
pages in the menu or to simply insert it at the end of your menu. ‘Finish’ will complete the process.
Click 'Apply' when you have finished adding pages or making all your changes and your site will
reload with the new menu in place. None of your changes will take effect until you have clicked
'Apply' and exited the 'Add and organise pages' panel.

Editing hidden pages
When you've added a new page you may want to keep it hidden until you have completed the
contents. To do this you can use the 'Organise Pages' panel to set the page visibility. Next to every
page name in the list is the 'Page visible' radio button (Screen 20, A) which allows you to remove
pages from your menu, making them invisible to your visitors. When you have finished setting your
visible or invisible options, click 'Apply' to set the changes.
While the page is 'invisible' you can still edit it by using the 'Pages' drop-down list (Screen 20, B) in
the Toolbar to navigate to the page and then edit it as normal.
Hidden pages while not available in the menu can still be viewed if a link to the page is provided.
For example, you could make a hidden page available to selected visitors by simply supplying
them the URL. The easiest way to do this is to copy the page URL from the browser address bar
while you are logged in (and editing the hidden page). You can then just paste the URL or website
address (with page) into an email for the recipient to click on.

Image tools
Image tools are a great way to customise, organise or display your images. Our software offers a
range of features and widgets that allow you to be creative.
Pop-up Gallery
The Pop-up Gallery (Screen 21, A) is a very useful widget for showcasing images or products and
it’s easy to add to you site. From the File Manager locate the ‘Image tools’ folder and then double-
click ‘Pop-up Gallery’ or select the file and click ‘Use this’.
Screen 21
Using the Setup tab on the Editor (Screen 21, B) you can change the number of columns and rows
on the gallery, whether images are cropped and if they should keep their aspect ratio (the ratio of
height to width remains the same). Advanced options let you apply padding, spacing, pop-up size
and a very useful feature that stops your images from being downloaded by visitors. The Style tab
allows you to apply some colour to the widget.
Adding your images is achieved by using the Add Image option on the floating toolbar within the
Pop-up Gallery (Screen 21, C). You also have tools to open up an image to have a closer look
(magnifying glass), change the order of your images (left/right arrows), as well as a delete image
function.
Slide Show
This can add a touch of professionalism to your site if you rely on visual impact (Screen 22, A). To
create a slide show for your images open the File Manager and locate the ‘Image tools’ folder.
Double-click Slideshow or select the file and click ‘Use this’.

Screen 22
Through the Image tab (Screen 22, B) you can use 'Add images' to browse and select your
uploaded image files. 'Organise' will permit you to change the order of the images in the slide show
and update the caption for each image. 'Advanced' gives you a few more options including the
slide timing.
'Setup' provides choices on the number of thumbnails to display, cropping, placement of controls
(play, pause, skip) and for a nice touch, the chance to add music to your slide show.

Crop Tools
You can highlight individual images with a choice of frames using crop tools e.g. a Polaroid crop
tool (Screen 23, A). To add one of many great crop tool styles to your page, open the File Manager
and locate the ‘Crop tools’ folder. Browse the folder and double-click your choice or select the file
and click ‘Use this’.
Screen 23
The Setup tab will let you browse (Choose an image) through your uploaded images for an
appropriate image (Screen 23, B). Once added the Reposition button will allow you to move the
image position within the Crop Tool. You can also adjust the transparency of the image and there
are several border styles to choose from.
The Link tab will allow you to set a link on this widget. Details on how to apply links are provided
elsewhere in this guide.
