How do I import articles or html pages not created in Xsitepro?
Posted by Melissa Tafa on 15 September 2008 02:16 PM

Importing Web pages is an incredibly fast and powerful way of bringing content into your Web sites from a variety of sources. To our knowledge it is a feature that is unique to XSitePro. You won't even find it in any of the more expensive web design packages such as Dreamweaver or Expression Web.

The import feature lets you add pages to an existing Web site while retaining the existing layout and design of the Web site.

For example, it will allow you to import 200 articles straight into your Web site without upsetting the headers, footers, left and right panels and navigation menus that you have already set up.

What the Import Feature Is Not!

The import feature is not meant to import entire sites created with another package (e.g. FrontPage or DreamWeaver). The reason for this is that it's impossible to know how the other Web site is set up. For example, does it have a left hand navigation bar or a right hand navigation bar or none at all? Does it have header and footers? Which pages appear on the navigation bar (if there is one), etc. XSitePro works intelligently to manage links, particularly navigation links, and this would be impossible if the software was to import a whole site without knowing how it was made up.

We've included many details on this, which you can see in our online manual at the link below:
