Benefiting from a powerful drag and drop interface. This Livecity interface requires absolutely no previous knowledge of the principles or practices of website design. A drag and drop website builder allows you to move items around the page in moments and then drop them into place. In seemingly no time, you’ve created a good to go website. Surely now is as good a time as any to start dragging and dropping!
If you have ever watched an astrologist with their charts, they use an aligning process tool to move the planets into place before the reading can begin. This tool won’t help you tell the future but will deliver a bright one for your website design. It allows you to bring together all the visual elements that create a cohesive web presence. Visitors then appreciate the relationships between the various web design elements on a page (often sub-consciously).
One of the best elements of good web design is to coordinate those areas such as menu items and toolbar buttons that deliver the same functionality to the finished piece. An example in Word is where you can save either from the main Office button in the top left corner or by using the save icon on the toolbar. Within the Livecity platform, this is another terrific way to improve the way your website operates – and all the work has been done for you to achieve this!
The Livecity team believe that website creation should be as painless a process for you as possible. In the past, each page often had to be designed from scratch, each element being carefully built up to the finished whole. Not any more! It’s now so easy to edit your website to add and then amend any pages you wish. You truly can create a functioning multi-page website in no time!
For some folk, this may be a bit of a techie term, but hang in there because it really is good news – as some of you will know. The user interface is that spot where people and programs meet and try to work together. An intuitive website builder, like the drag and drop platform provided by Livecity helps to make this process as easy as possible. In fact, you might not be fully aware it’s happening, you’ll certainly know that it’s easy to operate and is a great help.
One of the key elements of powerful web page design is to understand the level of prominence to give to the range of items that comprise the finished page or site. It’s the same process an artist goes through when building up the elements of a landscape or portrait. Luckily, the Livecity platform offers a much simpler yet intuitive website builder! The superb send backwards/bring forward tool allows you to arrange your elements until the desired effect is achieved. A very modern form of a traditional collage!
Another really useful web design device is this pinned elements tool. This allows such chosen items to remain in place when the page is scrolled. They will remain constant until the scrolling reaches the bottom boundary of the parent item to which they are pinned. You will see these on some websites to keep, for example, an enquiry form instantly available for use right down the page.
Imagine there is a single vital element that you want to appear throughout a whole host of different pages across your website. Does this mean you have to enter it separately into the website settings of each particular page. Not with Livecity! Simply make use of this "display in all pages" tool and the job is competed in moments. Enjoy a coffee and congratulate yourself on a job well done!
Yet another terrific element within the Livecity drag and drop website builder package. Intuitively, your website builder can quickly copy the key element you require to be repeated elsewhere – perhaps on a separate page – and then paste it there in just a few short moments. One of the many ways that this website builder simplifies what are often seen as complicated tasks!
The drag and drop Livecity package allows you to create a single website that can operate across a wide range of different devices – from a desktop or laptop to a tablet or to be viewed as a mobile website. It’s quite possible that you might not want a specific element that is right for, say a desktop, but not a mobile to be kept from the version viewed on the latter. Impossible? Not with this tool.
It’s always valuable to backup old versions. In the old days, it was the frustration of that grubby address book that you had just thrown out when you suddenly needed to contact an old high school buddy. Nowadays, it’s the content you realize was on a previous version of your website, and has been discarded, that would now prove to be extremely useful. No problem with the Livecity drag and drop website builder. Simply use the facility to back up old versions before making any changes.
