There are no invisible tables or other artifacts of the template's design. One simply clicks and types. The editing tool bar will be familiar to anyone who has used a word processor.
Each site template comes with 20+ page templates that can be incorporated into the site. These "pre-fab" pages come in a variety of layout styles and also demonstrate features such as fill-out forms, photo galleries, blogs and eCommerce via Paypal.
As pages are added, deleted or renamed, the menu is automatically updated. All site templates come with multiple levels of menus so that large sites can be easily managed without "crowding" the menus. Even the slick graphical style menus are fully automatic.
Each site template comes in a variety of color schemes. This may be selected as the site is created and it can be changed at any time.
Ecommerce is easy with PayPal. All of the product information is accessible in the 'add to cart' button. Site Builder formats the PayPal cart buttons in much the same way as the 'button maker' on the PayPal site.
Site Builder uses database technology to store the site. Unlike file-based tools, all of the individual elements of the site are indexed and cross referenced. One can rename pages, move pages around and delete items without worrying about broken links or name conflicts.
Best of all the site is written to HTML files when the site is published. This means the site is served directly from Apache without database access.
Site Builder Pro Upgrade is for Advanced Users
Site Builder Pro comes with a 'Layout Mode' which lets you drag and resize these blocks to create customized layouts. Site Builder Pro is the only product on the market to offer this feature. In practice, this means you can modify the template headers and provide your own complete site layouts. You can also add and position content anywhere on any page.
Site Builder Pro achieves its simplicity by keeping pictures and blocks of text outside of the table structure. This means that the layout can be changed without understanding complex table structures that are typically used in modern site designs.
Another unique feature of Site Builder Pro is that it does not use absolute positioning of layers. Once you layout your blocks, the entire page will stretch and shrink as you add and subtract content to/from these blocks. Best of all, there will be no problem with content colusion because of varying font sizes on target browsers.
Site Builder templates have common headers, footers and navigational elements. With Site Builder Pro, these can be updated and the changes reflected throughout the site. Multiple levels of page masters are used so that elements that are truly common throughout the site (such as the footer copyright notice) get changed in one and only one place.
Palettes provide global control over all colors used in the site. Changing colors in the palette will change the colors throughout the site. Unique color shifting technology can even change the color of images.
Style sheets provide global control over style attributes such as font faces, sizes, colors, margins, line height and link styles.
Menus may be added anywhere in the site. Menus are automatically generated from the folder structure for pages. This provides an unlimited depth in nesting menus. The style and artwork for menus and menu elements can also be changed with Site Builder Pro.
Today's web sites use simple graphical concepts such as rounded corners and decorative borders on text blocks. Site Buider Pro uses multi-part, 'composite' images for complex shapes so that they can be stretched and sized while preserving the integrity of their design. These composite images can be applied as backgrounds to any element on the page. New composite images can be created with Site Builder Pro.
You will never be alone while editing your design because we have built in tutorials and videos that you can watch and play as you go along. It couldn't get any easier then this unless someone designed your website for you.
