Wizard's
HTML Generator (Select "I want to use the
Wizard to generate this page"): |
The FORTUNE3 E-Commerce
and Shopping Cart Wizard features a basic HTML generator
to help you create and edit web pages without having
to know HTML code and will prompt you to provide the
following:
Web
Page Specifications:
Title
- The title for this particular web page.
The title appears
on the top title bar of browsers, and is used
by search engines to display a title for this
web page, and possibly to determine where to position
this web page on their search results.
Description
- A description for the web page you are
currently adding or editing. This
will be used by search engines to display a description
for this web page on their search results page
(under the title), and possibly to determine where
to position this web page on their search results.
Keywords
- Will be used by search engines to determine
the ranking and positioning for this web page
on their search results when people search for
your keywords. |
Web
Page Layout:
Each
web page can have a unique layout for its content. The
type of layout that you choose guides the FORTUNE3 E-Commerce
and Shopping Cart Wizard in formatting your text and
placing images and other objects in a designated section
for that particular page. There are nine (9) layout
styles to select from: the simplest (No.1) encompasses
all of the objects into one section, the most complex
(No. 9) in six sections. The most common layout is No.
2, which can be used to display two-columns/two-sections
of text and images. Select a style and click "Next
>".
Page
Content - Body Objects:
Once
you have selected a Style Layout and clicked "Next
>", you may begin adding text, images and
other "unlimited" content to your page. There
are two "Create New Object" buttons. By clicking
"Create New Object" on the top, an object before
the one currently being displayed will be created.
By clicking on the bottom button, an object will be
created after the one that is currently
being displayed. You will quickly become familiar with
the standard object entry form. For
every text, image or link that should have different
properties (different Font, Size, Color or Layout Section),
you MUST create a New Object.
NOTE:
Keep in mind that objects within the same Section are
always placed in the same sequence as they appear when
scrolling-down the form.
Use the "Up" and "Down" buttons to verify
existing objects in order at any time.
The entry form allows you to format each object with
the following options:
"Object Type" selection: "Text",
"Image" or "Link".
"Itemized"
objects will show bullets before the object.
"Leave a Blank Line"
before the object.
"Text
Properties"
Select "Font",
"Font Size", "Font
Type", "Font
Color" and "Alignment".
To place an object in the
first section, enter the desired object information
and corresponding parameters. Select "Layout
Section 1" AFTER you have
entered the object itself. To enter
an object below the object you just created, click on
the Create New Object Here button on the bottom
of the screen, and proceed to enter Object #2 and others,
remembering to select the Layout Section for
each object AFTER you have entered
the object itself, and that objects
placed in the same section will be displayed in the
order that they are in. You can see the order from top
to bottom by clicking on the "Up"
button several times until it is no longer enabled.
You will then be looking at your first object, hit the
"Down" button to move down the objects
in order, making sure you notice which Layout Section
each object is in and in what order inside the sections.
NOTE:
You can
enter HTML code in a "Text" type object, but
only if the HTML code is in one line. Having spaces
or blank lines in the HTML code will place <br>'s
inside of the HTML code you are entering, and will therefore
sacrifice the validity of your code.
We recommend that you do not use a single object for
the whole page; instead, you should separate paragraphs,
images and links individually. The
order of entry will generally determine the location
in that section of the page. When you begin, there may
only be one "Create New Object" button, but once
an object has been entered you will be presented with
a second row of action buttons. In this form the upper
row will insert objects above the current one, and the
lower row will insert objects below the current one.
If you wish to reorder the content of your page, the
easiest method is to "Cut" an object, scroll
up or down and paste it in the new location.
Click on the "Preview"
button to see a rough estimate of how your page will
look as you continue creating objects or making changes
to other objects; once you are satisfied with your web
page, click on "Finish". Remember that a Preview
is not your actual site; it is a mild
representation of this particular page. The menu is
not meant to look how it will once it is uploaded to
your site.
