Find this feature

From the Main Menu of your Site Manager, click HTML Conversion (in the Appearance column).

Introduction

The HTML Conversion tool allows you to convert single pages of your Web site from their current dynamic format (.asp) to a static format (HTML).

Reasons to use HTML Conversion:

·                 Make a new Doorway Page

·                 Make a Pop-up Window

·                 Submit a HTML page to search engines

·                 Make changes to a page you can’t make in Site Manager (extensive HTML experience required)

Warning:  If you update your departments or products, or make any changes that affect pages that you have converted, you will need to run this utility once again so that the html file can be updated with the changes.

Before You Convert

Before you convert any pages to HTML, make sure that you have finalized all other changes on your site, especially changes to your layout or text that appears on the pages.

Once you convert your pages from the dynamic format (.asp) to the static format (HTML), changes made in your Site Manager will not affect the HTML pages.  In order to update the HTML pages, you will have to use the HTML Conversion tool again to update those pages.

Converting Your Pages

First decide if you want to convert your home page or a different page to HTML.

·         To convert the home page, select Convert my home page to HTML.

·         To convert other pages, select Convert other pages to HTML.

Converting Your Home Page

Select Convert my home page to HTML.  The screen displays a preview of your home page.  To view or change the HTML source code, select Source above the preview.

To save the file, enter a filename (with .htm extension) and click Save in My Upload Folder.  The new file is now located in your Upload File section.

Converting Other Pages

To Convert other pages to HTML, you will enter the entire URL (Web site address) of the existing page, and then click Go.

To get the entire URL, browse through your site as a customer would, navigate to the page you wish to convert, and then copy the entire Address line.  It should start with http://www.yourstorename.com/.  Instead of yourstorename.com, the URL should have your own store’s address.

As with converting your home page, the screen now displays a preview of your page.  You can view and modify the HTML source code by clicking Source.

To save the file, enter a filename (with .htm extension) and click Save in My Upload Folder.  The new file is now located in your Upload File section.
