25
Setting Site Properties
Site properties affect all pages in your WebStore. You can specify site properties as
follows:
1. Choose Site Wide Properties from the Settings menu.
2. On the General tab, choose a Text Font Schema, and then enter your color
preferences.
3. Text Font Schema specifies the font to use for WebStore. In general, common
fonts such as Arial, Verdana, and Times New Roman work best.
4. Site Color Schema specifies the color used in your store's CSS (cascading style
sheet). This setting, which affects CSS-styled content (i.e., it affects text, but not
images), overrides the color you chose when creating your WebStore. For
example, if you chose purple when creating your store, and then change the Site
Color Schema to green, headers and other CSS-styled text will display in green,
while images, such as buttons, appear in the original color, purple.
5. Left Nav Hover specifies the color that appears when you mouse-over the left
navigation bar.
6. Click the Head Tags tab, and add any custom head tags you require. For more
information on using tags, see Utilizing title, description, keyword, and alt tags.
7. Click Save.
Setting Page Properties
Page properties are specific to each page of your WebStore. Set page properties as
follows:
1. Choose Page Properties from the Settings menu.
2. Enter a custom page title on the General tab. This title appears at the top of the
browser window. Search engines also use the information in this field to rank
your pages, and as the title in search results.
3. Click the Head Tags tab, and then add any custom head tags you require. For
more information on using tags, see Utilizing title, description, keyword, and alt
tags.
4. Click Save.
Working with Widgets
Widgets are small applettes that help you create and edit content for customizable areas,
or frames, within your site. The Image widget, for example, lets you add and work with
images on your site.
Note: You typically need to edit the information on the Contact page. See the HTML
widget section below for more information.
