Getting Started Building a Virtual Net Office
Now let's begin building a virtual net office. When we install your
virtual net office, we setup the default publish web site is: myFlower.com,
or myRestaurant.com.
You begin to create new web site.
myNet.OFFICE web page layout.
myNet.OFFICE web page is divided into different sections or
tiers.
• The top is the Banner or the logo. It is like the head of
your webpage. To insert the logo: [Site] -> [Site Property]
• The next tier is called Topmenu. Every time you create a
new webpage, myNet.Office automatically creates a topmenu for it. Usually, you use topmenu
for web pages like Home, Product & Services, About Us, Contact... To
insert the topmenu: [Site] -> [Site Property]. You can select
different style of the Topmenu bar.
• The left section is called: Left Navigation Menu or Left
Product Navigation Menu. It is for your product menu. For
example, if your business has products and services with many
catalog and category then it is easy for user to navigate from the
left than on the top menu. Every tine you create a catalog product,
myNet.Office automatically creates a Left Product Navigation Menu and
display here. To insert the Left Navigation Menu: [Net.Page] -> [Page
Property]. You can select different style of the Left Navigation
Menu. You can control which webpage can have the Left Navigation
Menu by inserting or not. For example, the webpage Contact
Us you don't want to display the Left Navigation Menu don't
insert it.
• The middle of the page is the Body of the content of the
webpage. To create web page, new page from [Net.Page] ->
New Page.
Then design your web page in myNet.Word.
• The right corner is the Right Navigation Menu where you
insert a separate webpage. It is used for adds, promotions... usually left
empty. If empty then the Body will take its space. You must create a
separate Html file for the right menu then insert in.
[Net.Page] -> [Page Property]. If you don't insert, nothing happens.
• The Footer or Footnote is appended at the bottom of the page. You
can create a separate html footer then insert in. There is a default
footer in folder /myweb/ name is footer.html. If you
don have a foot note web page, you can enter text like" Copy
rights 2007 All rights reserved " or something.. |

If you publish a virtual site then it becomes a publish site. Let say
your business has 3 different division with 3 different product and
services. You want to create each division like a unique business
website. When people click on that link, it will transfer them to a
different look of a new website with different product, navigation...We

myRestaurant.com, myTech.com, myRealestate.com. To open, select [Site]

virtual site has a unique database, menu navigation, web pages. When you
