This screen displays all of the Page Styles defined for the website, and whether or not they are being used by any Page or Folder.
Page Styles account for the "look and feel" of each Page, and can be defined at the Page level or the Folder level, so you can create one look for the entire website, or make each area of your website look different.
Page Styles control the overall layout of each Page, so it will define the number and location of the Menu Region, Common Regions, and Page Regions that are editable by your Site Managers and Content Managers.
Page Styles also define the location of any additional Designer Regions, Dynamic Regions, and Login Regions that only your Site Designers have access too.
Page Styles are the containers that hold the complete HTML page (HTML, javascript, CSS, images, etc.) that surround each Page and it's content.
To better understand Page Styles, consider this example: A print magazine might have the follow page layouts:
Even through there are only five layouts, an entire 120 page magazine can be built with them. This provides consistency in the design, and simplifies the printing process.
Page Styles work the same way, only for your website. So even if you have a 1,000 page website to build, you may only need four Page Styles:
You can also create Mobile Page Styles so you can display any design or layout that best fits a mobile phone screens and the system will automatically detect the device and switch Page Styles. Two Page Styles can be made available for a Page to use. One for desktop (computers and tablets) visitors and one for mobile (phone) visitors. The system will automatically detect and switch Page Styles based on the device that accesses any web page on the site. We recommend that your Site Designer add a Mobile Switch Region to all Page Styles so any site visitors can choose which Page Style they wish to view regardless of the outcome of the automatic detection.
Of course, you can add as many Page Styles are you need for your website.
You can enter a search term in the box on this screen and search for any Style by it's properties.
To create a Page Style, click on "Create Page Style".
You can modify or delete any Page Style that is not being used by a Page. For safely sake, the system will not allow you to delete a Page Style that is in use by a Page and it's content.
NOTE: It may be important to know that some javascript code snippets may be inserted into Page Styles dynamically as they render Pages. These code snippets provide support for built-in features including Who's Online, Chat, and Google Analytics. These snippets are designed to be compact and not interfere with any other valid code you decide to include in your Page Styles. However, no code snippets are included for Pages when they are sent as E-mail Campaigns as they can cause delivery or viewing issues for recipients.
