Basic & Advanced Pages

Managing the content on a web page is a broad topic because there are many types of web pages and content. Insty-Site provides two modes for managing your web pages depending on the nature of the content you wish to add.

Basic Web Pages
Basic web pages are the most simplified form of adding static content to your website. When you click Add Page in the back office, basic mode is displayed as the default mode for creating a new page. This mode provides an HTML editor window so you may insert any basic HTML content you wish to display on your page. The HTML content you produce in this mode will be added to a static phrase automatically generated and attached to the middle column of your new page.

Page Title
The title of your new page will appear at the top of the browser window. The title may also be identified in the cookiecrumb bar and other locations defined in your template.

URL Name
The URL name is the name you would like to use to browse up the page. For example, if you selected the URL name for your page as "home", you may browse up the page at http://www.yourdomain.com/home.

Description
The page description will be used in the description META tag of the page and may be used by search engines to index your page.

Keywords
The keywords of your page are used in the keywords META tag of the page and may be used by search engines.

Page Body
The page body is the HTML content you wish to appear on the page. You may choose from one of three HTML editors to give you a more flexible experience in editing your page. Regardless of the editor you choose, take extreme care when pasting your content straight from other rich text editors such as Microsoft Word. Content pasted from such editors usually produces unexpected results.

Advanced Web Pages
Advanced web pages provide more features for tailoring your web page in more intricate ways. This mode is for experienced website designers and programmers who have reasonable expertise and familiarity with the Insty-Site CMS. This mode provides no HTML editor, but does provide more fields for further editing the settings of the new page.

Head Includes
Head includes are for adding additional content to the head of the page. This is useful for pages where you would like additional javascripts or style sheets attached.

Secure
Checking this box will hide the page from the sitemap of your website and disallow guest users from viewing the content unless they login.

Show on Sitemap
Checking this box will show the page on the sitemap. However, secure pages will NOT be shown on the sitemap, despite this setting.

Usergroup
Setting this allows admin users to assign other groups with admin login permissions to edit the content of this page.

Layout
Choose a layout template.

Social Bookmarks
Choose whether or not you want to make social bookmarks visible.

Cookiecrumb
Choose whether or not you want to make the cookiecrumb bar visible on this page.
