Can my home page look different than the other pages?| Author |  | admin

10:41:56 PM | Q: Can my home page look different than the other pages? for example, can i have a large picture with just the store name and a couple words for the first page, then have the others all have a banner type format?
A: Absolutely. This is one of the designer questions. Basically, when you create a Framework, you create a file called default.htm. However, if you also create one called home.htm, it will only be used on the site homepage.

There is a simple catch-mechanism at work here that defines and enhances Invisible Gold capacity. Let me explain it below.
If there is a home.htm (that is it exists as a file) and if it's in the same folder as is your default.htm site template file, then Invisible Gold works in the following manner:
http://www.podengoes.us brings up http://www.podengos.us/home.htm. Then when you click on any link on the site it uses http://www.podengos.us/default.htm as the site template.
With such an arrangement we can define, if desired, an "entry page" to a website or to enhance the nuances associated with IG generated site navigation.
Site navigation appears in two manners:
IG Generated - uses "GETHTML" tags to build the sliding navigation that automatically build/reduces as you create/delete pages.
Static Navigation - Navigation that is hard coded into your default and home.htm templates that does not change as you add/remove pages in Invisible Gold. (Many sites enjoy a few graphically incorporated links that persist on every page).
"That's part of the design" is our shop lingo for navigation that's primarily put in as a designed aspect in applications such as Dreamweaver or Fireworks.
