  • Creating and Editing pages

  To begin inserting content into your website, click on Page Organizer. This is where you will create and edit all pages within your website. There is no limit to the number of pages you can create.

  

  We suggest editing your Home page first. To do this, find Home listed under Name of Page on Links and click Edit.

  • Editing a Page

  Once the page has loaded you will see some text fields and the Simplesite^TM Online Editor (with icons at the top).

   

  
  At the top of the page, there are five text fields and a two drop down menus. Please notice the required areas.

  Title of Page:
  
  This appears in the upper left hand corner of the browser window when someone visits your site. This is how search engines index your site.

  Name of Page on Links:
  
  This is how your page will be referenced in the menu on your site.

  Page Name:

  META Keywords:
  
  Keywords that describe the page you've created.  These are important because many search engine robots use these keywords to register and categorize your website.

  META Description:
  
  A description of the page you've created in full sentence. 
  Example:  This is the youth sports page for the Williamson County Soccer Association.  Come join the fun!

  Member Only:

  If you wanted the information accessible to team members, etc. only, then select Yes.

  Template:
  
  In the signup process, you were asked to choose a template for your site. The template you chose is now your Default Template. You may change the default template at any time. To do this, use the Template Organizer.

  You may choose a different template for each page in your website if you wish. We suggest using different themes for various pages (your Youth Soccer page may have a more contemporary look and feel than your Adult Soccer page).

    • Viewing your Changes

    To view your site after submitting an edit, click Preview Website from the Control Panel menu.

    Note:  You may find it easiest to work on your web site when you have two windows open in your browser:  one window with the Control Panel and the other window with your web site.  Using the Launch Bar, you can click back and forth between the windows after you've made an edit.  You must click "Refresh" to update the site and see your edit.

    • Creating a Page

    Now that you have edited your Home page we'll show you how to create a page. It is very similar to the editing process.

    Click Page Organizer on the left side menu. Then click Add New Page. You will again see the Simplesite^TM Online Editor. Fill in the text fields and, if a different template is desired for this page, choose a template.  Otherwise, the default template will be used.

    Once again, after filling in the text fields and adding the content, click Submit. You may now preview your page by clicking the preview button.

    Note: The page you have just created will not be displayed as a link on your site just yet. Please refer to the next section.

    • Linking Pages and Sorting your Menu

    To view a particular page on your site, it must first be "linked."  Links are the names of your pages as they appear in the menu on your site.

    To do this, click on Menu Organizer in your Control Panel menu.

    You will see two columns. The one on the left is Available Content (pages you have created and features you have enabled) and the one on the right is how your menu appears on your site.

    To link a page you have created, first highlight the page in the left column (by clicking on it one time) and click the right arrow button.  The page will now appear in the column on the right.  To change the display order, highlight an item and click the Up or Down button.  When satisfied with the order, click the "Save Menu" button.

    NOTE: As you have the ability to add an unlimited number of pages to your site, you may not want to add them all to the menu. See Adding Internal Links to learn about linking a page from inside a page. Do not forget the preview button (see Viewing Your Changes) to view your site.

    • Enabling Features

    Next you will want to enable the features of your site.

    To enable a feature, click Feature Organizer in the Control Panel menu.

    Click Enable New Feature, which appears just above the list of enabled features.  (We have taken the liberty of enabling some features for you.  By clicking Enable New Feature, you will see the complete list of available features.)
    
    You are then presented with a text field and drop down menu.

    
    Feature Name:
    
    This is how the feature will be listed on your site (the feature that allows you to add events is called Events Calendar, but you may want to refer to it on your site as Tournament Schedule or Practice Schedule).

    Feature:
    The drop down allows you to select the feature you would like to enable.

    After you have enabled a feature, it will appear on the Menu Organizer page in the column on the left. As with the pages you create, you can link the feature on your site by moving it to the column on the right (see Linking Pages and Sorting Menu).

    Repeat the process to add more features.
