Thread: Ok, here it is, but a few questions.....

We have this for the local High School, Spirit Wear. http://www.atthelockerroom.com Let me know of any changes that would make it more navigable or easy to use. It's not complete, however the Platform is done. Want to make changes now and not when I've got 40 pages to change.

That brings me to my first question. How can I make changes, such as Nav Bars or Images, globally. Right now I am going through page by page make these changes.

Second, what page width and length is everyone using for their layout? As you can see I went by "Googled Advice" and I'm short on the width. I think the length is ok. What do you think?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi theheadref :
you've made a good start, your right about the page width try useing around 900, the length of a page is up to you and on what you want to put on it, but Ideally you want it to stop after your last text or image. as it is now you have a big gap .
i am not to sure about your nav buttons gold on gold with black text the text on some of the buttons fades and is hard to read. could be just me.
the best way i found to make lots page all the same is to make one page get the basic core looking the way you want. background, images, header text etc: then save as template that way you can bring it up work it make it say a gallery page then save it as gallery. your then remains untouched.
the quickest way i have found in putting the same thing on every page say like a tell a friend button is to do it on your first page (get it work ok )
then right click item or highlight item copy then you can paste on to every page.
heres me babling on ; your sites coming on fine no one gets it right first time but you are well on your way.

Good luck.

I think you're doing great. I would suggest that you make both side bars just a tad less wide - just enough for the navigation buttons in them - which would give you a little more space on the page without causing a scroll in 800x600 resolution.

I would like to see the buttons a tad lighter color - in the same range would work, but a little lighter would be easier to read and make them stand out more.

Great job!

Thanks for the Feedback. Partner was saying the same thing about the Buttons. The buttons are Stock Voda buttons and does anyone know how to change the color? Also, about the Global thing, is there any way to make changes globally? Don't want to go through 15-20 pages and cut and paste and save and publish.

Thanks Again!!

As the first responder said, make the first page as you want on all the pages - meaning header, buttons, footer if you want one. Don't enter anything that would be for that page only. Then save what you've done as a template.

For every other page, you'll use that template and all that you did will be there.

Try right clicking on the BV buttons, click style and you can change colors.

Can I ask..theheadref..I know it's not really related to the topic but I went to that website and When you built the navigation bar...how did you link other webpages to the navigation bar buttons??

YOU HAVE ALREADY POSTED THE SAME QUESTION 5 TIMES. You have been answered 3 times. Please note that if you go on i'll have to delete your posts.

Sorry!

Hi, I like it. I go with the advice others have left. It has a warm welcoming feel to it. I would make the text on the top left a little bigger (on the image of the lockers) as I found it pretty impossible to read. But overall I think it looks really good and professional. Well done.

It would seem that no one, to date, has answered your question above.....
You may want to consider the use of Iframes, this will enable you to control
your nav bars or header photos using 1 or two page only.......
There is an excellent article on the use of Iframes by Navaldesign that could help you......
