Targeted sites and page layouts
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.
