Instructions on how to use the system. These instructions aren’t perfect, but will hopefully give you an idea.

This system uses the open source FCKEditor coupled with our custom database design. It allows you to create a site which can be expanded to suit your needs. You can assign page titles, keyword and description tags to each page on the site, which is handy for Search Engine Optimisation.

You can hide pages from the navigation which can be useful for development, keeping ‘secret’ pages and other uses.

Once you have your site structure set up, you can navigate to any page and edit the content, add links, upload various types of files and various other things. You can use the WYSIWYG interface, or code the html source (or both) – it's up to you. The system uses table-free CSS design and is designed to give you a lean, reliable, standards compliant code base for your pages.

The stylesheet can be customised to suit your business (we also offer logo design and other branding services). You can have a simple, clean stylesheet that sits across the whole site, or have ‘skins’ made for different sections in your site. We could even create several stylesheets and allow your users to choose their preference.

Some examples of sites we have created using this system:

• Off the Rails
• Byron Business Advisory
• Zeals Pastoral Company
• Marina Cavalieri Textile Design

Please see the Websmiths Portfolio for other examples of our work.

Please note that this system is constantly being improved. If you can’t find a feature that you’re looking for, please contact us to discuss your requirements.

This site will be refreshed from time to time. Please feel free to play around. We ask that you treat it with respect and refrain for putting any nasty stuff into it.

Disclaimer: While we make every effort to keep the site clean, it’s here as a demonstration tool. Websmiths take no responsibility for content created between our regular refreshes of the site.
