Web site within an Existing site? or How to/ advice please

[Davora]

Hi Acorn
Thanks for your prompt reply the version I have is XARA web designer premium is 15.0.0.52288 (DL x64) Nov 17 2017, so I think I can update OK?

Are you saying I would have to host this separate from my existing hosting company? or just a link to a main page of the real estate template?

I think I have downloaded the templates to my local designs but not sure how to find them on my laptop running windows 10, I have looked in my dave/local folder but I cant see it there.

Thanks

Dave

Dave, the simplest way would be to create a sub-folder on your site and name it 'Properties'. Publish your properties website into that sub-folder. Then link to that sub-folder from your main sites navbar.

Hi Egg
I trust you are well :-) & thanks for your reply.

To clarify please;

I have a property button my my main nav bar, when you say create a sub folder do you mean a sub folder from the main nav bar? or elsewhere on the site? how would I incorporate the real estate template to that sub folder? This is something I haven't done before I have only created sub-folder buttons from the main navbar menu.

I probably require a little more detailed instruction, please.

Thank you very much

Dave

Create the folder on the host server, not on your computer and upload your properties site to that folder then link your properties nav bar button to that new site.

Is there some reason you need it to be a new site rather that pages on your current site?

Hi BK
I don't need it on a new site I want to integrate into my current site if poss' & link to the Navbar & use real estate template if possible, if you can advise how to do this?

Thanks Dave

Use menu 'Insert'/'New Page'/'From Content Catalog'. When the catalog opens, there are some real estate templates under Websites/Business Themes/Real Estate, which has templates for sales and rental properties. Select a page that fits your needs and when you hover over that page, select Add Page. You may get a popup question regarding matching your existing site colors or not.
This will import the page into the site, but since it has its own settings (page size, nav bar, etc) it may not exactly fit your original sites dimensions so you may have to do some adjusting/deleting. Once you get that page to fit, if you need additional pages just duplicate that page and change the content as you need to.
It isn't a perfect solution but might work for you. Good luck.

Hi BK
Thanks yes I did think of this way but quite long-winded. If there is a way to link a complete real estate template taht would be fine as it doesn't need to be too much of a match & changing back-ground is a quick task.

Thanks again

Dave
