Split the page in two?

Can I split the page in two in EW? In order to have, for example, a menu of commands in the left side of the page that stays always there fixed for the entire site and doesn't reloads every time I change the page? Thanks! |

No, unfortunately you cannot do this with EverWeb.

What I mean is that I'm giving up the idea of building the site as the Rupert Sanders one, because I can't or I'm not able to build it that way. (also because my site, as the Rupert sanders one, at one point must to be seen in full screen mode, because shows videos that are shot to be seen in that way) So to make it faster, I'm thinking to go back to a much simpler design, until I find another solution to how to achieve what I want with a full screen image as a layout. So the much simpler, classic, design I'm working on has a menu made by a vertical list of texts-commands on the left side of the page. This menu doesn't have to change or move from one page to another, it has to look as like is fixed there, and the only way to do that in EW, like in iweb, is to make each page with that same menu on the left side. The inconvenient is that every time we move from a page to another the entire page has to reload, and in the best case scenario it gives an effect of blinking to the menu. I was wondering if in EW we could have that menu loaded only one time, for the home page, and then from that point ahead it could have stayed always fixed and loaded for the entire site, still working as list of commands to move from one page to another. Do you maybe know a way to do that? |

In general, everything that iWeb couldn't do - EverWeb can! I take it you are referring to sites where the header and navigation are fixed but the content changes? This is a technique widely used for mobile sites but not so much on conventional ones. I have built quite a few sites like this using jQuery Mobile, SwipeJS and variations of jQuery Tabs and Accordions. There are a lot of advantages in this type of design but the HTML doc can get to be mind bending since all the HTML for the whole site is in one document. For the design you have in mind, tabs would probably be more appropriate with the tab navigation set up vertically rather than horizontally. I do have an example of smooth scrolling horizontal tabs done in EW but the site is not yet ready for viewing. Here is a standalone example which is also responsive. It uses smooth scrolling tabs which slide in from the right going forward and from the left going back. There are lots of variations on this and the tabs can slide up, down. left, right, spin, twirl, whatever. The design can be adapted so that the tab navigation is vertical to the left or right of the content. If you aren't proficient at code, you may think that this is an impossible dream! I have already helped one EW user to set up his company's website with both tabs and accordions. These were used to present large amounts of product info per page thus making the site much easier to use and to reduce the number of server requests. My own personal mobile website, which badly needs an update, is created with just one page using an accordion code. I'm sure that one day EW will have a Widget for that. ------------------------------- 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 very much Roddy If I had even a little money to invest I would not hesitate to ask your professional help. But the problem is that I'm unfortunately in one the brokest moment of my life, that's why I'm trying to resolve my website issues as alone as possible, and just with the help of forums. The tab feature sounds good but also still very difficult to achieve for a total ignorant like me. I maybe don't need all that too, It would be enough to have a fixed background page for the entire site. Do you know if there is a possible very simple way on EW to do that? A background image that is the same one for the entire site and that has then be loaded only once, only when we enter the site. In this case I don't even need that the images streches or shrinks when we narrow or expand the browser's window. Thanks! |

Using tabs loading over a background image is not as difficult as it sounds and would make for a very efficient, fast loading site. The tabs we figured out for Darren's site were only part of the page setup. Using a tab for each page should be a lot easier. You don't need to know code to do this - just to be able to copy and paste. I'll try a test site when I have some time to kill as the idea is quite interesting and could be applied in many different ways. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Ok, looking forward to see that test site. Is there any way in EW to have a background image that loads only once, when we open the site, and then it stays the same image, already loaded, for all pages? In order to not have the same image reloading every time we pass from one page to another? |
