How to Log in

Get familiar with your site

Your site can be broken up into the following sections.

• Body
  Includes the background colors and images
  
  
• Header
  The header is the portion of the page at the very top and generally above your navigation and / or page content.
  
  
• Navigation
  The navigation provides easy to locate links to the pages contained within your site.  If you have more than a one page website, you will most likey need a navigation system for your visitors to browse around and locate content on your website.
  
  
• Main Content
  The main content of your site is where text, images, menus, brochures and contact forms reside.  It is the main focus of the page and is generally the central portion of your web page between the header and the footer.
  
  
• Sidebar
  The sidebar provides easy to locate information meant for inclusion on multiple pages of your site.  By default, the sidebar will contain informaition about your business like phone numbers, addresses and possibly and email address for your site visitors to easily contact you.
  
  
• Footer
  The footer is located at the bottom of each page and provides copyright information, links to your administration area (click on the copyright symbol), a link to yellow page city and a link to check your email if you have an email account associated with your iPagePro website.
  
  
• Administration
  The administration center is where you make necessary edits and updates to your pages.  You will need a user name and password, provided by the iPagePro admins, and then click on the copyright symbol at the bottom of your website.  It will link you into our intuitive administration center.
