    Re: Site in progress...

    Hi the site looks really good with a professional feel about it. The only problem is that you are building it from the centre of your screen with also your page properties set at 1400px & this will give a lot of side scroll to many of us viewing. With your site on my monitor i see as far as the letter n in the heading website & graphic design studio & have to scroll after this.
    Regards Chris.

      Yes as Chris said you have built from the centre of BV. Build everything from the left and go to page properties to tick the 'centre in browser' check box. My monitor at home is wide so it looks great, but viewing it from my 'small' work monitor requires me to scroll sideways.

      All the best

        Darren, this is such a precious information you gave us all.
        Thank you !

        Chris has already made me noticing my website pages weren't centered.
        I of course agreed with him, but I thought it would be difficult,
        and let it for when I would have time for it.

        In fact, it's that simple !
        And I did it in something like three minuts.

        Thanks to both of you, Chris and Darren.

        And thank you VH, for making BV so simple to use.


        Nice website, baptistdesigned !

          Thanks for the advise, do i have to move everything individually on every link to the left, or can I group everything and move it somehow? I see what you are saying and I want to do this. Thanks again. :)

              Yes the index page is 'left' now. Try unchecking, then publish and then check it again, then republish. Remember to refresh your browser (F5)

              If proplem persists (which I've known to happen)

              Open a new blank page and set the page properties height width and centre in browser.

              Now go to your index page and make sure everything is built from the left which you say it is

              click edit> select all
              Then edit> copy

              Go to new page

              click edit> paste

              Everything will drop in the exact same place.

              Rename this page index and delete the other one.

              Then publish and test

                    Re: Site in progress...

                    No... however it has moved over to the right just a little

                    OK Check this

                    1) Make sure the page width is no wider than it needs to be

                    2) Click on every element and check that the blue handles are within the width of the page.

                    Republish and test

                      The header image is the main culprit at 1211px wide. This also needs to be reduced to 985'ish.

                        Re: Site in progress...

                        I have made a new page with everything moved to the left and centered in page properties. I have also shortened the header. I still have the same problem. My desktop by the way has a 22" screen and I use a laptop with a 15" wide screen to check in another view. Still no change. Any thoughts?

                          try just making the page width in blue voda a little smaller. how to do this is there is a slider on a ruler near the top of blue voda. slide that to the left to make the page smaller then fit the content of yoru page into that. play with it a little in the preview then when you have it then publish it. do this with all the pages.

                              looks better, but I am still getting a tiny bit of side scroll in my browser. just try making it a little smaller.
