Using Starter Pages

As you begin your site within a site or mini-website, you will want to choose a theme and or color scheme. You should keep your pages consistent. Find a set of starter pages and stick with that set to maintain a consistent look and feel to your pages. If you are creating pages for more than one school you may choose a second Starter Page set.

Click on the New Page button in the upper lever of the Contribute window. Here you will find a series of files that are available to you. You may pick and choose and alter the pages to fit your needs but you always need to keep in mind that you want all of your pages within your site to have a similar color scheme, consistent navigation and a good flow.

Look in the preview window to see what each theme looks like.

Example of Preview Window:


 Notice that the pages within this site were created with the Health and Nutrition set found within the business folder. Main pictures were replaced with edited photos. The header photo size can be found by clicking on the image in Contribute and looking at the tool bar.


 


Pick a folder to begin...

Inside each folder, such as community, you will find a list of subfolders. Each subfolder contains a cluster of pages to choose from.

Pick a color theme

Each subfolder within each topic folder contains a group of similar pages. They have a consistent theme and look to them. These sets will help keep your website clean and polished.

 

Change basic pictures..
You can replace the theme pictures with pictures of your own. You can crop and your own photos in iPhoto. You may want to consider a piece of photo editing software like Photoshop elements for more intricate editing.
