Smart site 2.0

Content / Structure

If you create or use more than one website, select the desired website for editing in the top right-hand corner of the list. The names are enteredin the menu Layout / Design >> Settings .

By default, the website contains the necessary basic elements that a broker needs. The basic structure includes the menu items start page, our offer, our customers, about our company and the imprint. Example contents are created in each case, which you can adapt accordingly.

Further useful and sensible functions can be added as a website app . There you will find more information.

In the Content/Organization area, menu items and other elements on your website are added or removed, or the menu items are switched on or off. The individual sections of the menu items with content can also be switched online and offline individually. This allows you to create the elements and put them online only after completion.

On the left side the menu groups are arranged, on the right side the individual elements are created and edited. The configuration box of the elements is located above it.

Working with Menu Groups

The menu groups 1 to 3 are displayed here.
Menu group 1 is the main menu group and is always displayed vertically on your website. Menu group 2 is displayed horizontally, except in templates 1 and 5. Menu group 3 is only available in templates 3 and 2.

Create and edit pages

You can create a new menu item using the icon smart site symbol new . The new menu item is created ‘offline’, if it has been filled with content, you can switch the menu item ‘online’ using the monitor smart site icon screen online offline symbol in the menu bar. The menu item and the content can be switched online/offline separately. Only if the menu item + content are ‘online’, the content can be seen. Placing a content online alone is not enough.

You can change the name of the newly created menu item in the configuration box in the ‘Menu Item Name’ field.

NOTE: Please also adapt the URL name.

In the configuration box you can also specify whether the standard banner of the template or an individual banner is used for this menu item. If you select “Banner individual”, a dialog opens for uploading the desired file. The individual banner image is displayed as a small preview. Please note that not every template provides a banner for all pages. Here you can find the list of templates.

Please do not forget to save.

You can change the position of the menu item by drag & drop. To do this, drag the menu item to the appropriate position in the menu structure. A symbol (triangle, with a horizontal line) appears at the point where the menu item is inserted. You can also make the menu item an existing menu item as a ‘subpage’ by dragging the page to the corresponding menu item. If the menu item would be inserted as a subpage to another menu item, the symbol changes to an item. It is also possible to move to another menu group.

Further configurations and information on the page

About the option: You can make further settings underSettings . Under the Information option, you will find information about the date of creation, who changed the page, when and by whom, etc.

Settings:

  • Menu item as start page: You can set a menu item as your homepage, i.e. when someone calls up your website, this menu item will be the first to be seen. Also a click on your logo leads to this page. This need not be the first/topmost page in the list of menu items.
  • URL name: this is the address of the individual menu item in your web presence. The entry in this field appears in the address bar of your browser behind your domain name, example: This page on which you are currently located has as address (onlinehelp…../name.html). The first part online help…/ is the domain name and the part name.html is the address of the individual page. If you want a specific naming scheme or want to give the address of a special page on a flyer, poster, newsletter etc., you can give it a ‘short and handy’ name here.

Page contents

You can add or remove content in a menu item. Removing does not always have to be a deletion, you can also take the item offline and revise the content at your leisure.

New menu items are prepared with a content element. The individual content elements are displayed one below the other, each has a header with the configuration settings for the individual elements.

For text content, you can start writing immediately after creating the content element. For other content, you should define the content types and content layout beforehand. This can also be changed afterwards, it has proven to be easier if this is determined in advance.

Switch content online/offline

You can switch the individual contents online smart site symbol online and offline smart site icon screen offline using the monitor symbol in the header.
