SiteXpress User Guide | Main Menu |

Looking at the workspace

The SiteXpress workspace consists of two frames. The top frame contains the current web page; the bottom frame contains the toolbar. You use the vertical and horizontal scrollbars to adjust your view of the current web page.

Changing Modes

When you log into SiteXpress, each placeholder item on the current web page is tagged for editing. Clicking one of these Edit tags launches a tool you use to edit the associated item; for example, if you select a text block, a text editing tool launches. These tags change to reflect the current mode you are in; for example, if you click the Delete Item button on the toolbar, all the tags change to read "Delete."

Navigating

Whenever you add a page to your website, it is automatically appended to the navigation bar, a list of hyperlinks that display on each page of you website. You use the navigation bar to load a new page into the workspace-your visitors will use your navigation bar to navigate your site after you have published it.

Previewing

As you build your website in SiteXpress, you can preview what each page will look like when published. Simply press the Preview button on the toolbar to launch the page without the inline buttons.
