Content Pages / Pre-Designed Web Pages

Content Pages is simply a term for Web Pages not related to the shopping cart (Informational Pages), that are manually designed, configured, and filled in by you. There are six (6) pre-designed content pages: "Index", "About", "Contact" , "Privacy", "Terms", and "FAQ"; the Wizard automatically creates and populates these pages by default with the exception of the "About" Page. The information you provide in the "Company Information" entry-form will substitute all data-tags within the "{ }" tokens. Links to these pages are normally placed on the top menu of each page on your web site.


The pre-designed pages are:

Index - Your Current Home Page. This is the first page visitors will see when they go to your web site. A default Index page will come with the FORTUNE3 Wizard as an HTML page, which can be modified by using the Fortune3 HTML Editor, or by opening the page with an HTML program such as Expression Web or Dreamweaver. The default index page contains HTML code and programming that will display categories and products directly on the home page. This default index page can be edited, however, we recommend caution when editing the default index page, as some of the programming on it is complex and errors in the programming may cause the default home page to not function properly or not display anything at all. Make your changes to the page carefully, making sure that there are no 'if conditions' or 'loops' that are not properly formatted or closed. 'If conditions' and 'loops' should not be altered or removed, they look like this:

[% IF ... %]
[% ELSIF ... %]
[% ELSE %]
[% FOREACH ... %]
[% UNLESS ... %]
[% END %]

You do not have to use the default home page, you may replace it with your own home page by replacing the HTML for the page or you can edit the pre-generated HTML for the home page, completely remove everything in it, and start it from scratch. This can be done by selecting the Icon corresponding to the home page then selecting the "Edit Page" button. You will then be sent to the Wizard's built-in HTML editor, from here you can modify the home page in the editor or replace the HTML code entirely with your own code by using the HTML editor's HTML Code View. For help using the HTML editor click here.

About
- The page that should generally describe your company and its history. The About Us page comes blank by default so that you can input your own information. You can use the built-in HTML editor to create and edit the page. You can also edit the page using HTML code, or by opening the page with an HTML program such as Expression Web or Dreamweaver.

Contact
- Includes the company's Contact Information and a Contact Form by default. A default Contact page will come with the FORTUNE3 Wizard as an HTML page, which can be modified using the built-in HTML editor, or by opening the page with an HTML program such as Expression Web or Dreamweaver. The Contact page contains a form that we have created to make it easier for you to collect information about your current/potential customers, along with opening a path for them to contact you. With the use of basic HTML Form code, you can add or delete any fields on this form. In fact, you can create your own form from scratch, as long as you point it to our "contactform.cgi" page, it will function correctly. The contactform.cgi function is set up to send an e-mail to the address that you have entered into your "Store Info E-Mail" in the Wizard's "Company Information" screen. Since this is not a required field, if you have not placed an e-mail address in this field, the e-mails will get sent to the address in the Website Admin E-Mail instead.

You do not have to use the default contact page, you may replace it with your own home page by replacing the HTML for the page or editing the pre-generated HTML for the contact page. This can be done by selecting the Icon corresponding to the contact page then selecting the edit page button. You will then be sent to the Wizard's built-in HTML editor, from here you can modify the page displayed in the editor or replace the HTML entirely with your own code by using the HTML editor's HTML Code View.

You can add/remove questions and answers as you wish by editing the page.
