Can I use agenity to update any part of my website?

The front end of your website is completely custom designed and depends upon how you set it up with your project manager.

There are really two options when it comes to setting up the front end of your site. 

1. You can have agenity put your entire website in the editor which will give you complete control over everything on every of your site.  The disadvantage to doing it this way is that by having control over your navigation and website shell, if your not an experienced user you'll have the ability to break the navigation and the page itself.

2. You can have agenity give you control over just the body content of a particular page .  This will give you total control over the body of each page and not the navigation or shell of the website.  This makes it impossible for you to break anything on the page and worst case scenario you would end up with a page with no body content on it.

The choice is yours during the set up process of how you would like this set up...



Does agenity offer website design?

Yes.  Agenity has been designing websites for almost nine years now.  We actually started out offering just design services back in the 90's and ended up adding database programming services to our list of product offerings a few years later as the demand increased. 

When we realized that the times were changing and businesses wanted much more out of their websites than just brochure ware, we spent two years developing Agenity Content Management to address this issue.

Today Agenity services almost 100 clients nationwide and offers everything from design, to content management(CMS), to hosting, to email.

How do I hyperlink a word or image on my site?

In order to link a word or image all you have to do is highlight whatever it is that you'd like to link and click on the chain icon in your editor. 

From their you will get a pop up window. 



Just put the website address of whatever you'd like to link to in the URL: field.

If you'd like to link something to a page within your website, simply go to that page copy the address from the address bar of your browser,



and paste it into the URL field in agenity.

 



Aside from the document manager, how can I add a link to a PDF anywhere else on my site?



Using any of of the editors in Agenity, simply highlight the word(s) you would like to link to the PDF.  If there isn't a word you would like to link from the create one like "click here" to download this PDF.  Highlight the word(s) and click on the chain link icon in the editor.  (Or your can simply right click on the word(s) while it's hightlighted and click on INSERT/EDIT link.)

Now click on the BROWSE SERVER button in the pop up.  This will now show you a list of anything you've already uploaded to the server similiar to what you see when you insert an image using the editor.

 

If you would like to get the PDF from your hard drive, at the bottom of the pop up click on the BROWSE button.  Your hard drive will appear.  Find the PDF you would like to attach and double click on it.  Now click on the UPLOAD button on the bottom right. 

You should now see the PDF you attached in the list of files on the server.  Double click on it and your word(s) should be now directly hyperlinked to the PDF you attached.

 

 





Why do I need to make changes to my website



The web has changed quite a bit over the last several years.  It's no longer enough just to say that you have a website or an online presence. 

Today you have to give people a reason to come back to your site again and again and use it to facilitate business.

You can use your website as an HR tool to help you find new employees or keep your existing ones up to date.

You can give people acess to forms that they can download and print out,  Let them log-in and pay a bill online, or even ask questions to.

The purpose of the web today is not only to establish a presence for your business, but to save you time and money.




How do I upload an image to my site?



Put your cursor where ever you'd like the image to go, then click on the picture icon in the editor (Little Mountain with sun in the background)

Then click on the browse server button.
(There you'll see a list of images that are on the server that you've uploaded in the past)

To use an image listed, simply double-click on one. If you would like to upload an image from your hard drive, click on the browse button at the bottom.


Now you should see a pop up with you hard drives images in it.  Find the image you would like to upload and double click on it.




Then click the upload button in the bottom right hand corner.

Your image should now be listed as one of the images on your server. Find it and click on it. You should now see it in the preview window. Click OK.  Your image will then show up in the editor on the page where you had your mouse.

**You may want to resize any image before you upload it to the server. A small image is about like the one you see above is 200 pixels wide. 300 is probably the average size of a picture. And if you'd like the image to take up the entire page I would make it about 500 pixels wide. I would not go any bigger than that or people will have to scroll from left to right to see the whole thing.

If you're not sure you have software to do this, simply got to http://www.picnik.com.


 



How can I cut down on SPAM email?

Log into the web based email..  http://mail.agenity.com.
 
  • Under SETTINGS click on MY SPAM FILTERING. 
  • Then check off OVERRIDE SPAM SETTINGS FOR THIS ACCOUNT.Then under actions you can change it to HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW. 
  • We recommend changing them all to MOVE TO JUNK E MAIL FOLDER and put in as many trusted senders into my TRUSTED SENDERS fields as you can.
  • That will put anything that even remotely looks like SPAM into a folder on the server called JUNK E-MAIL. 
  • Every once in a while just go through that folder and check off anything that shouldn't be in there and click on UNMARK AS SPAM. 
  • Then delete the rest.. After a while you won't get any junk mail at all..
