CRAFTCAVE FREE WEB PAGES TUTORIAL

Adding A Web Page

This tutorial will quickly show you how to add pages to your site.

1. Log onto your account to access the site manager.
2. Click the New Web Page Icon.
3.

Naming - It is best to leave this at the default setting which is Rename New Pages. This will help prevent duplicate names.

Important Note: For a variety of reasons, your home page (main page of the site) should always be named index.html

4.

Choose your preference.


Create Blank - This adds a blank un-named page to your site. The default editor is the built in WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor. Use this option if you want to build a page from scratch. Not recommended for web design beginners.

Create HTML - This also adds a blank un-named page to your site. The default editor is the built in Internet Explorer WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor. This also offers the option of editing the HTML code directly (you need to know html for that). Use this option if you want to build a page from scratch. Not recommended for web design beginners.

Create From Set / Single - This is the preferred method for most beginners as it uses professionally designed site templates. The sets are more business oriented and create several pages at once. The singles create a single page. To use this option just scroll down the template options and make your choice.

5. For this tutorial, just select a single and create it.
6. The site manager has now moved you to the file manager and your new file has appeared there. The default page name is index.html Detailed instructions on using the file manager are covered in the file manager tutorial, but first finish this tutorial.
7. Click the New Web Page Icon.
8. For this tutorial, select another single and create it. This may be the same or different
9. The site manager has again moved you to the file manager and your new file has appeared there. However since the default page name (index.html) is used already your second page has been named index_1.html
10. index_1.html is not very descriptive, so let's rename it about.html Click the rename icon next to index_1.html The file manager will double check with you if you really want to rename the file - click ok.
11. The next screen will have an area that looks like this. Replace index_1 with about and click ok.
12. You are now back in your file manager and you should see two files - index.html and about.html
13. That covers the basics of adding pages to your site. This same technique will be used for each page added unless you design your pages in an offline editor and upload them (if you have the know how to do this then you don't really need this tutorial).
