About Overall Appearance
SiteMaker is designed to allow you to focus on managing the content of your site. As a result you have limited control over other aspects of how your site looks such as the color scheme or the placement of different elements on each page of your site.
Each web page on your site has several page elements. The body (shaded yellow in the screen shot below) is the part you have the most control over. This element is where the contents of each section will appear. Other elements include a banner (shaded red) for identifying your site on every page, a navigation bar (shaded green) showing links to other pages on your site, and a footer (shaded blue) which allows you to provide contact information to your site viewers.
The Overall Appearance page is where you can make changes to the look and feel of your site. When SiteMaker assembles a web page on your site for a visitor it takes all these elements and draws them according to the settings you have made in Overall Appearance. Here's how you get to the Overall Appearance page:
- Log in to SiteMaker so you can configure your site.
- At the Main Configuration Page scroll down past the Web Site Sections management area to the Overall Appearance area (see screen shot below).
- Click the Configure Overall Appearance button.
