What is a good browser to use for editing my web site?
We'd love the editing tools for your web site to work on every browser out there. Unfortunately that is just not possible.
In recent years the quality of internet browsers has vastly improved. We personally use the Google Chrome browser. If nothing else, we love just how fast and robust it is.
The latest version of Microsoft's Internet Explorer is quite good, though we have had some trouble with some versions of it, so if the tools on our web site don't seem quite right and you are using Internet Explorer , it may be worth either upgrading to the latest version, of if you can, trying one of the browsers mentioned above.
I want a custom image for the header of my web site. What size does this image have to be?
There is no limit on the height of your image (though we'd suggest not going anything bigger than 200 pixels high). The best width of an image for the header is 1024 pixels.
topHow do I display a table of contents on a web page?
To switching on a table of contents for a page on your web site, edit the page in question. On the top right of the page is the page name. Click the 'edit' link, and you will be able to change the name of the page (which affect the URL that is used to access your web page), and also switch on a table of contents for the page.
Whenever I paste content into a new section on one of my pages, the formatting looks weird. What can I do?
When content is copied from another web page, a word processor, or similar, and then pasted into a section on your web site, often the formatting that is transferred with the content looks out of place and sometime down right weird.
topFor this reason, we recommend first pasting content into a basic text editor (like notepad), then copy the text from this basic text editor and paste it into your web site. This in effect strips the custom formatting that may have been copied from word, the web, etc., and leaves you with nice pristine text.
In our experience a nice clean web site with consistent formatting much more inviting for your users.
Can I write my own HTML for a section on my web site?
The editing tools used to modify a section on your web site allow you to enter 'code' mode, which in turn let's you modify the HTML directly. If you haven't had experience with HTML before it's probably best not to use this feature, as it can be a little over whelming, but if you feel comfy modifying HTML directly, go for your life!
Can I add some fancy scrolling images on my home page?
We provide a custom service should you want a more sophisticated web page created. Please contact support@majestri.com.au outlining what you require, and we will be happy to prepare a quote for the work.
If your website has scrolling images (typically on your homepage) and you want to add/change an image, please send us the image you wish to use (which should be sized 730 pixels x 320 pixels) at support@majestri.com.au.
I'd like the emails sent from my system to be a bit fancier. Is this possible?
By default, all emails sent from within the system will display your organisation's logo and name at the top.
topWe do provide a service allowing you to embed a custom header and footer for these system sent emails. The typical cost of this service $300 (plus GST). Please get in touch with us at support@majestri.com.au to discuss your specific requirements.
