Paul - What is the practical limit for the number of assets? I'm running up against a wall on one of the sites I'm running (RHSclassof69.com). There's over 3,500 pictures and god knows how many pages. My main problem is the beach ball every time I pull in an asset, whether it be a line of text or a picture. The wait can exceed 60 seconds and it's slowly getting longer. I can do some cleaning but the site is a repository of the class history so much needs to stay or I need to transfer to another design program. Is this a function of the assets being in one file? Do you see any way around this issue? I really like EW for this down and quick work and don't want to recreate everything in DreamWeaver. I really want to stay with EW. Ideas?

A large website needs to be created in sections - each one on a separate project file. When creating the EverWeb Codeebox site, I discovered that sections of up to 200 pages are manageable but take too long to open in EverWeb. With the new EverWeb Widgets site, I decided to keep the sections to a maximum of 100 pages. As you can see, I've also done away with the need for a large and complex navigation by using link tabs and breadcrumbs. I think a website section with lots of images would be better kept to around 50 pages. I wouldsuggest that you divide the Event Photos up into manageable projects and lazy load the images rather than use two or more pages. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

| Can I ask a question about this? My site contains a blog, which got so big that I divided off pre 2017 entries - 400+ with images. This sounds to me like something that might fall into this category. Can this be accomplished with a blog section that already exists? Wouldn't that mess up links, etc.? Any other solution? | |

I would definitely create a blog on a separate project file - one for each year and access them from an archive menu on the main site. Links to other blog posts in different projects and to the main website will be broken unless you have used absolute file paths. Something to consider for the future. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Here's an example of a responsive, justified image grid. Using that, you could create separate projects for groups of 3 years and link to them using a widget like THIS from the main site. This would mean that all your image pages would be responive and there would be no need to create a separate mobile version. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

| Thanks, I should work on that. Exactly how would I configure uploading the separate project? As a separate site w/o a URL? That's the part that is confusing. | |

You would upload them in folders - just like directories and use relative file paths to link to them. If the archive menu is at the top level, the URL would be: folder-name/page-name.html If it is in a directory: ../folder-name/page-name.html .. and so on I create my "main" site in a folder too and link to it from an index.html in the root folder which is a redirect to the index.html in the folder. This keeps the number of items in the root folder to a minimum. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!
