You can tell the difference between a “cookie cutter” site style and one that was custom created specifically with the client’s needs in mind. When creating a custom site style for our customers, our focus is:

• KISS — Keep It Streamlined Sweetheart
• Home Page Advantage — provide sensible navigational elements and hyperlinks that make it easy to “lead” your visitors along a well thought out marketing strategy
• prioritize what information is important to you when displaying your message(s) to your visitors
• apply elements to your site style that visually tell visitors what you do
• apply colors to your site style that portray an appropriate feel for your business

The ZD-CMS™ makes it easy to integrate site styles with navigation and content, so we can get your custom site up and running quickly. Best of all it will look GREAT!

When you are editing a web page, you can create a link to a document very easily. 

STEP ONE: Use your cursor to highlight the text you wish to change from regular text to a hyperlink to link to a document for visitors to view and download.

STEP TWO: Click on the "insert/edit link" icon. 

STEP THREE: Although it will open the Link Info tab first, click on the Upload Tab and browse your computer for the document to attach to the module record. Select your file and click on Open (in Windows). The path to the file will now show in the Upload field.

 

STEP FOUR: Click on the 'Send it to the Server' button.

• This will pop up a message that reads, "Your file has been successfully uploaded".
   
• Click on the 'OK' button to save and return to the edit screen, where you will see the link to the document.

That's it! Click on the Submit button, and your website has been changed! Wasn't that easy?

If you can use a word processor, you can edit your web content. All you have to do is log into your website manager. The pages you have permission to change are clearly visible. Select the one you want to change and copy text in, delete text, add text. Click the Submit button and you are done!

You can select and add formatting to text by clicking on the same sort of buttons you have in a word processor. Our Rich Text Area looks like this:

You can choose formats and styles, use bold, italic and strikethrough, subsripts and superscripts. You can select text and bacground colors for text. Upload documents, link to other websites. Make bullets and numbered lists! Indent, align left, center, or right, select all, remove formatting, add pictures, tables, lines, and characters. Cut, copy, paste. Undo , redo, find, and replace.

While it looks very familiar, it is always important to remember you are working inside a website and it is very different from working inside a Word Processing program. All the text you enter will also be formatted in the website according to the site style created by your designer.

With ZD-CMS™, you can update the content of your website whenever YOU want to instead of waiting (and paying) for someone else to do the job! You will be given a login name and password to access your website's website manager. Select the page you wish to edit and start editing!
