Deluxe Layout
Builder
The Deluxe Layout Builder is
the newest tool in layout design. We have traditionally set up
preset layouts that you could easily modify and change the colors.
But with so many new customers all asking for something unique we
thought it was time to give you more control of the design.
We have created this simple
interface that is easy to use while letting you set up a page
layout that is unique to your website. We have stuck with the
basic elements, the title space, menu, content area and copyright
area and have give you the tools to change the colors, position,
size and borders.
This is a WYSIWYG type
interface so you see a real time preview as you adjust border
sizes, colors and so on.
This first screen cap of the
layout builder shows the color selector and we have set the main
content area in the layout to a light green color. Notice that
the center of the preview changes as the selection is being made.
This makes it simple to get the correct combination of colors
since you can see them all together.
In the second screen cap you
will see some slidebars to adjust the borders. We have increased
the outside border and you will notice that the border is wider
in the preview.
In the third example, we have
changed the menu position from the top below the titlespace to
the left side of the page where the traditional menus are
normally located.
All of these charges are done
with a click of the mouse and are simple to adjust. Best of all,
you can return to the editor at any time and make adjustments in
your website in real time.
If you think the menu would
look better on the right side, just open the layout builder,
select that option and your entire website, possibly thousands of
pages are updated instantly.
It really has become that easy
to manage a website.
Of course, this comes after a
decade of pounding our heads, working with static layouts and
struggling to give all of our customers the looks they needed.
This tool solves all of our problems in layout design.
As far the expert webmasters
and web developers, this is a awesome tool. Even if the finished
layout is not exactly what you need, we give full access to the
html and css so you can make minor or significant changes. At
least you start with a 100% cross browser compatible layout which
should be very close to what you need. Of course you don't have
to use the deluxe layout builder, it is just one of the tools
available if you need it.
