Supersite gallery

@ Egg: when the visitor finishes reading a page they would be at the bottom which was why I put the navigation there (about where you might turn the pages in an actual printed publication)

Hi Frances,

Fine on a printed document page, as it has a fixed physical size, all of which is visible all the time. On a printed document I don't have to read all the page to turn to the next page. However on a digital document scrolling is often required and it's therefore more common to have the navigation at the top of the page (or top & bottom)

Thanks Angelize, yes, I need to edit out about 2/3 of that material. I should have mentioned that I was testing to see what the Supersite would look like, and just added info from a lot of pages. On our regular sites, people would click a link to go to the specific information they need. I really like the idea of the vertical supersite as a sales page for a single product.

Did you notice that I put a link to buy the product at the bottom of every page. I got that idea from the long-form infomercials, where they offer you an opportunity to buy every 5 minutes or so. Then they keep on selling for another 5 minutes or so, and offer you another opportunity to buy.

My hope (perhaps only a fantasy) is that we will find a good internet marketer who is looking for a good product, who will take that information and use it to build a really good marketing web site and sell the products. I guess what I have in mind is like a Joint Venture arrangement. We could make an independent sales person a really good deal.

Our online course will have about 15 lessons, so I sure wish there were a way to use a vertical supersite, so people could just keep scrolling down from one lesson to the next. With an index on the first page so they could just jump straight to the lesson they need. If I find a way to do it, I will let you know.

Better and better

Good morning, I just checked out the "super site" and think it's very neat and clean. Is this something that can be done in Xara?

[Egg Bramhill]

Yes, it's quite simple to do it in Xara.

Tried supersite on my website, for My state of California 22 pages long when someone would visit it they would get internal server error message, contacted my hosting company was told the page was to large and was causing the error went back and did conventional site cured my problem so I did like things about supersite but in the end I ended up redoing my whole site as conventional. So for a moderate size site I think it is wonderful, but if it grows in size conventional had to be it for me.

22 pages long does not seem a problem. It might be if it were all hires images and Variants. Xara allows on-line document publishing and these can be 100s of pages long, books in other words.

CA-page 20 is 110kB, which is big but not excessive. 22 such pages would still only be 2.5MB.
Your images are typically trivally small but repeated. Using the special Name - filename="imageName" - would reduce these for all your pages' duplicates.

I would look at your service provider more closely.
