easisites extras

What files can you upload?

To extend the scope of your easisites website, there is the facility - available by clicking the Extras button on the gold bar at the top of the page when you have published and paid for your site - for you to upload as many as six extra files - effectively six extra pages. These will appear as click-links for your visitors.

You can use this facility to provide order forms for customers to print out, a price list ... or anything else you can supply a file for - even a brochure.

You can provide the files in any format - such as Acrobat PDF files, Microsoft Word documents and any other file type that can be read on the web.

Hint

Not everyone has Microsoft Word on their computer. To be safe, you should first use Word to Save As... and choose RTF instead of Word Document. RTF is a universal format that almost all word processor programs can handle.

Important: When your site visitor clicks for an extra file, what happens will depend on their computer and what it can cope with. An extra web picture will be no problem, but if your word processed document uses fonts that your visitor doesn't also have on their PC, the document won't display properly for them. To be safe, stick to ordinary fonts like Times and Arial.

You can also use the extras facility to upload additional pictures - gif or jpg files - to display on your easisites website.

How to create links to your extra files

To put a link in your "Freestyle text" to one of your extra files, type it between angle-brackets while you are updating your site. - Like this:

<easiextra3/words for your link>
HINT
Use your mouse to highlight the example link to the left, then Edit/Copy from the window menu. After you Return to editing your site you can Edit/Paste in the Freestyle text and finish by altering the number and words to suit your needs.

This would create a link to your third extra file and show it underlined with whatever words you type after the slash. Don't type any spaces except in the words you want underlined. If you upload a replacement third file the link will connect to that instead. You can put these links on any of your pages and as many times as you wish.

Example link to an extra file

Suppose the second extra file you uploaded were a Word Document of your usual paper-based order form. You could refer to it in your freestyle text like this.

This example means "link to my extra file number 2 and do so with the words Order Form underlined for clicking".

Your web visitors will see it as a normal click link.
