CCS Menu Button
Builder
Building navigation menus can be quite
complicated. Especially when you start adding in css menu effects,
roll over colors and changing text colors. Honestly, it will give
even the most experienced webmaster a migraine trying to keep it
all straight and cross browser compatible.
But with our online css menu building tools
you can make your own menu in minutes. Just select the colors and
submit. You can see the menu in real time as you make changes to
colors and effects, borders and text, size, color and fonts.
We have created a simple fill in the box
tool that will let anyone that can choose colors build complex
menus that rival the top webmasters.
Each menu is generated dynamicaly by the
website when viewed, this means updates like adding or renaming
pages do not require you to go back and change the menu, it is
done automatically.
All you have to do is match the colors and
set the effects you want. The system generates a custom css menu
file which is added to your website pages.
Advanced webmaster can even edit the text
file once it has been generated if they want to take it beyond
the limits of the menu builder.
Use border effects of different sizes,
dotted, dashed, solid, unique colors and spacing. Set button
sizes and fonts to match the overall look of your website.
This tool is one of a kind, developed in
house exclusively for our sitebuilder and has become one of the
most popular tools in our suite.
We will often catch independent webmasters
using our demos to build css menus for their clients and copying
and pasting the finished files into dreamweaver or frontpage.
When will they learn, just host it at pageBuzz and the job would
be done already.
So much for the webmasters. It is our
hosting customers we are concerned about and that is the reason
we develop tools like the css menu button builder. For those of
us that don't want to hand code stuff like this:
#nav ul {
padding: 0;
margin:0;
list-style: none;
z-index:99;
position:relative;
overflow:visible;
}
#nav > li ul {
text-align: left;
}
#nav li { /* Appearance settings (eye candy) */
position: relative;
background: #E7E7E7;
/* background: url(trans/white80.png);*/
color: #00F;
border: solid 1px #AAA;
height: auto;
max-width: 8em;
overflow: visible;
}
#nav ul ul {
width: 8em;
}
#nav > li {
margin: 0;
float: left;
text-align: center;
height: 1.6em;
}
/*This would go on for about 50 or 100 more lines for one menu.*/

Understanding css is just one part of
building menus, you need to link the css file to every page or
add the css to every page and modify it every time you make a
change.
For the experienced webmaster and developer,
this all makes sense and they can write this stuff in their sleep.
But for the rest of us, we don't understand it and don't care to
learn how just to have a menu on our website.
That is the function of the sitebuilder
tools as a whole. These tools fill the gaps that we have in
learning and don't need or want to learn. That is the entire
point of using tools.
With the comprehensive web tools offered at
pageBuzz.com the old webmasters become less and less important to
the individual business owner. Just like when automation killed
the factory worker, web site building tools are killing the jobs
of the Internet's webmasters by making everyone a professional
just by clicking buttons.
Our customers have been able to build
amazing designs and run highly successful businesses using the
online sitebuilder and website management tools. While the tools
in the site builder are amazing, what people do with them is
often even more amazing.
