Purpose
This module was developed to allow all necessary site images (or flash elements) of the overall site design to be managed in one place. This module considers only the brand 'identity' images used in the site and works in unison with Color Schemas and Homepage Stylesheets to enable content and design to be 100% separated, giving the client control over the culmination of all elements of site design.
Description
This module was developed to allow all necessary site images (or flash elements) of the overall site design to be managed in one place. This module considers only the brand 'identity' images used in the site and works in unison with Color Schemas and Homepage Stylesheets to enable content and design to be 100% separated, giving the client control over the culmination of all elements of site design.
Images managed here would include:
1.) Primary masthead or logo of the site (image or flash)
2.) Background images used within every area of design real estate (Top, Bottom, Left, Right, Center, Background of Site (behind the site))
3.) Bullet images for site navigation, core pages, and perhaps images to be referenced within the Homepage stylesheet.
These images are dynamically referenced by the Homepage Stylesheet, but allow the client to change key images, logos and backgrounds, without needing to re-code the stylsheet.
This module works in unison with other design modules, to bring all elements of design together, but still be controlled by the end user.
How To Use
This module is found under the design tab of the Client Console. Simply click on Site Images, and either click on the existing record for your Main Site, or create a new one. Here you are able to upload every image to be used within the site design, and apply which site it belong to (Either the Main Site, Audience Types, or Sites). Each portlet or micro site within the main site, can each have its own site images....serving different designs for each section.
Site Images allows you to manage all of the images relating to your website in one location. These would include
global images such as logo, background, bullets, and more.
This is an example of using Flash within the Site Images module, giving versatile functionality and
a great design in one simple upload
