I started this basic website to sell things. I did not choose a template but started with a blank one. I put my items one under another so my website just scrolls down. So all my items are on the only page I have which is a home page that scrolls.
Now I am thinking of having a one-page home page with a menu to choose to go to other pages or a one-page home page with the page divided into two horizontal pictures, so when I click on one of the horizontal pictures it takes me to a separate page where people can then scroll down. I will also want a Banner at the top of the second page (once the menu is clicked or the horizontal picture is clicked) and for it to stay at the top when scrolling. I think this is called a “Sticky” something ?
Can you please give me instructions on:
How do I add a one-page home page with my already created scroll site with a menu to go to other pages?
How to have a one-page home page with the home page divided into two horizontal pictures that when one horizontal pictures is clicked it takes me to a different page.
How Big does the one-page home page have to be if I am creating a picture for the home page?
Hi Mona! How are you? I think this is very important.
Once you’ve decided, someone can help you further.
The picture will be contained automatically. I suggest just play around with different image sizes and see how it behaves - you can always simply delete them and start over again.
Note: The general Design (see screenshot below) of your website has a container width setting, which defines how wide any content should be displayed (just like having margins in a word document). The maximum value is 100 - this means that if you upload images or text, it will have no margins to the left or right, unless it is a preset container with predefined margins. The more you fiddle with the builder , the more you will understand how it all works.
You might want to rethink your homepage a bit. If you decide to go for a multi-page site, then please start with a proper header that includes a menu. You can always change everything in the menu and even restart that section.
Like this for example (its from the wepaint template)
When the menu and logo is set, below that you add a container and two containers in it for two separate pictures. Or you just choose the 2 columns preset
Hi Mona,
I understand your fear of messing up everything.
My recommendation is to copy your website so you have it in your dashboard as a separate project (a staging website basically), then build your desired changes in this copy version and when you’re done, connect the domain with the new site.
I think in terms of how the content should be structured there are a few things umportant to consider:
How would your customer navigate easiest on your site and through your products (usability).
What is your business strategy and what kind of information is needed in order to attract viditors zo buy your prodzcts.
Do you want to utalize SEO for your shop (so there needs to be more information about you, the process etc).
I help people with strategic decisions like this and have been building Sitejet websites for many years. So if you want personal support with this just contact me.
