Hi

Its a good start and here are a couple of things that you can look at:

Check your spelling......alot ?¿.....notch..not notched.....

You really need to put some internal links back to your home page as well.

You are on the right track, so keep going

internal links?? what do you mean by that? I thought I had a home tab on all the pages.

davidundalicia · #4 08-08-2008, 10:40 PM

followed through all the forms and the last one did not have a link back.....

Will have another look later..........

bschomp · #5 08-08-2008, 10:42 PM

oh I see what you mean... the form page. Should I put one on there?

bschomp · #6 08-08-2008, 10:48 PM

Alrighty I got links not only back to home page, but to all pages on the form page. There we go. How's that?

Hi there, I think you did a great job on your site. A couple of pointers?

All the links that are taking your viewers off your site should have their target set to _blank in the Edit Hyperlink dialog box. This way you don't loss your viewers.

Center your pages in the browser. It would probably take you less then five minutes, but would take your page up a "notch". View, Page Properties, Center in Browser (it's a check box under the General tab).

Great job!

hey just real quick ? Dave how do you add a hyperlink with your website on this message?? mine is not working when i click on it. It just opens a blank bock in another window.

bschomp · #9 08-08-2008, 10:57 PM

Thanks Halaal, yeah I remember seeing that when I click in the link

HalaalPages · #10 08-08-2008, 11:01 PM

type the text, highlight it, click on the hyperlink button, and insert the address of the page you want to link to. the link has to start with http://

Blank will open a new window, so that the user will still have your page open but also be able to navigate the off site page in a different window. I was going to suggest this but Halaal beat me to it. Otherwise the site looks great. Good job.

bschomp · #13 08-08-2008, 11:07 PM

Thank you. And do you think also I should center all the pages too?

D'son · #14 08-08-2008, 11:23 PM

Your right Halaal, thats what I meant to say (_blank) sorry if it didn't come across that way.

bschomp:
In order to center your pages now you have to go into the builder and on each page click edit/select all and move everything over to the left top most portion of the builder page, save and publish. It looks to me that you did not start your pages in that location so I do not think it is as simple as clicking the center in browser box, but try it to be sure (can't hurt).

bschomp · #15 08-08-2008, 11:23 PM

Ok guys fixed all the links to _blank and centered the website. how is that?

HalaalPages · #16 08-08-2008, 11:31 PM

Did you physically center your entire content in the window? If so, select all your text and move them back to the very left

D'son · #17 08-08-2008, 11:37 PM

I would have left the plan page the way it was (opening in the same window) but each link within the page have open in a new window. If you do it the way you have now the user can navigate your site from two active windows and pretty soon have so many open they are going to confused, agrivated or just exit all of them.

HalaalPages · #18 08-09-2008, 12:10 AM

I agree with Ed. Pages within your site should have their target field let blank, as in empty.
