Site re-designs at your fingertips
Customizing a small aspect of your site or starting on a full-blown make-over? SiteAssist is with you all the way. Output pages are template-based so minor updates are a no-brainer; plus you can apply a new SiteAssist design at any time, site-wide.
Site types for industry-specific Web sites In SiteAssist, a site type is a collection of pages with varying layouts, geared for a certain kind of site. Site types included in SiteAssist 2.0 are: administrative (for order, item and visitor management), club/associations, consultant professional, corporate, education, intranet, medical professional, non-profit, online store, personal, portfolio, real estate and special event.
Professionally Designed Page Layouts When you select your site type in SiteAssist, a default set of pages are made available. For example, choose the Online Store site type and you’ll get both catalog and product pages. However, the default pages are just to get you started! In the third step of the SiteAssist wizard, you can change the current page types to anything you want. Choose from the expert layouts available. You’re free to add new pages, remove unwanted ones, and even modify the site structure.
Expertly crafted designs
Get your site off to a running start with our professionally designed templates. For SiteAssist 2.0, we’ve expanded the number and range of styles for the designs. Moreover, each template is engineered to be as flexible as possible at design time; this flexibility makes it easier to add extended navigation or larger imagery to any page – all without additional coding.

Coordinated Color Schemes for CSS and Graphics
Choosing your basic color scheme is hard enough and implementing it in your site’s CSS and core graphics can be a real grind. SiteAssist takes the drudgery out of selecting your site’s initial look-and-feel with its wide selection of color schemes. Each of the 11 different schemes is carried through in all aspects of the site, from the CSS styles to the sliced navigation graphics.
Automatic Navigation Update One of the most time intensive chores in Web development is maintaining your site’s navigation. Even if your site is template-based, adding a link to a major new section can be painstakingly difficult. Whenever you add or remove a page through the SiteAssist wizard, your navigation is automatically updated, site-wide. However, the real power of SiteAssist becomes apparent when you need to add multiple pages – or even an entire site branch. With SiteAssist, add all the pages you need in a single operation and never worry about navigation again.
Site Footer Management
Modern sites often include a number of pages – like those that convey company policy or display a sitemap - that need to be available from every page, but aren’t considered primary navigation. Links to these pages are typically found in the footer. SiteAssist 2.0 provides complete footer page generation and management. Specify the pages needed, the type of layout desired and even the separator to use, right in the wizard.
Re-usable Site Structure
After you’ve completed the SiteAssist wizard, you’ll have an opportunity to store you custom site structure as a new site type. The next time you run the wizard, you’ll find your site type listed with all the others. Running the SiteAssist wizard with your custom site type selected, re-creates the identical structure, instantly.
Redesign, Anytime Tastes change and clients can be fickle – either can result in the desire for a site makeover. When you want to change the entire design or just spruce up your site with another color scheme, SiteAssist is ready. Re-enter the SiteAssist wizard at any time to choose a new look-and-feel for your site.
