What Makes KingSiteBuilder Unique?

Free Form Layout... You can drag and resize objects on your page and edit them in place using a tool bar that is similar to popular word processors. Behind the scenes KingSiteBuilder converts your page into the optimal table structure so that the page will be rendered in a robust fashion on all browsers.

Prefab Pages... KingSiteBuilder is a site editor rather than a page editor. Each site template comes with 20+ page layouts that you can incorporate into your site.

eCommerce... You may sell products on the Internet using Paypal™. KingSiteBuilder creates add to cart" links with your product details so that you can take full advantage of the Paypal shopping cart and payment system.

Color Palettes... You have global control over color schemes using a palette. Change the colors in your palette and they will change throughout your site. Unique color shifting technology can even change the color of images.

Style sheets... You have global control over style attributes such as font faces, sizes colors, margins and line height and link attributes.

Page Masters... Page Masters let you repeat common elements on all pages.

Automatic Menus... Menus are handled automatically. Your pages appear in the menu as you add them to the site. You can have single or multiple levels of menus and the menus can be inserted anywhere on your pages or templates. Graphical menu elements are automatically generated.

Smart Graphics... Today's web sites use simple graphical concepts such as rounded corners and decorative borders on text blocks. KingSiteBuilder uses multi-part images for complex shapes that they can be stretched and sized while preserving the integrity of their design. These elements can be applied as backgrounds to any element on your page.

Site Integrity... KingSiteBuilder uses database technology to store your site. Unlike file-based tools, all of the individual elements of your site are indexed and cross referenced. You can rename pages, move pages around and delete items without worrying about broken links or name conflicts.

Look at These Main Features...

What You See is What You Get

WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) is a term that describes the concept of visualizing the end result while you are working. In the case of a site builder that simply means that you should see your page and be able to change things directly on the page. KingSiteBuilder lets you edit text anywhere on the page and use the familiar word processing style tool bar for formatting text, inserting pictures that flow with the text and creating tables for items that need to line up.

What is truly different about KingSiteBuilder is the way it handles page layouts. Traditionally, web page layouts were done by creating complex tables which may have included tables within tables and spanning of rows and columns to get things positioned exactly where they are needed. This is a very cumbersome way to control layout and one that is best left to the experts. KingSiteBuilder has a simple approach - just drag around page elements and KingSiteBuilder will take care of building these complex table structures without user intervention.

 

KingSiteBuilder gives you two views of your page:

  • The Edit Text tab lets you edit the content of the elements. In this tab all of the elements are actually part of an "invisible table structure" so the page will flow as you add text.
  • The Edit Layout tab lets you move elements around on the page. You can drag and drop them, size them and set properties such as decorations, background colors and borders.

Fully Automatic Navigation with Multiple Menu Levels

KingSiteBuilder menus are truly automatic. Unlike other site builders, KingSiteBuilder can employ graphic features into menus such as the ones you see in this site. An intuitive "Explorer" view of pages shows the navigation structure. This structure is automatically reflected in the menus and is instantly updated.

you control navigation

You control navigation by

  • Renaming the page using the edit box at the top - the name change appears immediately in the menu
  • Dragging pages to change the order in the menu
  • Pages within folders are the second level of navigation and have a second level menu
  • Moving pages in and out of folders automatically scales them to account for the second level menu

With KingSiteBuilder you can control the stylization of menus including:

  • "Stretchable" images for buttons
  • Colors
  • Fonts
  • Different style for when the menu is the current page or hovered over.

KingSiteBuilder also allows for an infinite level of nesting of menus.


 

60 Decorative Fonts Create Excitement!

Web browsers come with a very limited set of fonts and the ability to download fonts is not universally supported. Most web designers simply create graphics with an offline program such as Adobe Photoshop™ or Macromedia Fireworks™. This requires having such programs available and knowing how to use them. Then end result is also graphic headlines that search engines cannot "see".

KingSiteBuilder uses Macromedia Flash™ based technology called sIFR to support a wide variety of fonts for use in headlines. Headlines are visible to the search engine and a stand-in font is provided for those rare instances where a viewer has Flash disabled. You can create and edit headlines directly within KingSiteBuilder. A unique drop-shadow effect makes the headlines come alive.

We include 60 fonts from the Font Encyclopedia collection by Soft Horizons:

Powerful Image Handling Capabilities

Images can be included in three ways with KingSiteBuilder:

  • In Text - Inserted into text where they will flow along with the text.
  • In Boxes - Created as stand-alone elements that can be positioned anywhere in the layout.
  • As Albums - Uploaded in bulk or individually and stored independently from the web pages. They are automatically included in "Photo Album" web pages, creating as many pages as needed to display all images. Menus are also created to help the viewer navigate across photo albums and within albums. Captions can be created and a slide show is also available.

Today's digital cameras produce huge images that are very time consuming to upload and consume valuable disk space. If left unprocessed they can cause customer sites to load slowly. KingSiteBuilder has a multi-faceted strategy to deal with this without requiring any effort or knowledge on the part of the user:

  1. First, we provide a simple desktop utility to upload batches of images directly from a digital camera directory. The images are scaled to a reasonable size before uploading so they upload very quickly and conserve disk space on the server.
  2. We store images at a moderate resolution so that detail will be preserved no matter what size they end up being used on the web page.
  3. We resample images after they are dragged to the correct size. This provides for very crisp images that are more detailed than simply applying size attributes to an image.

Consider these two images....

The fuzzy image to the left was dragged to a smaller size but without resampling. IE and Firefox don't resample and simply scale the image to fit.

The clear one on the right was created using KingSiteBuilder which uses high-quality image resampling. Notice the smoothness and crispness of the image even at this small size.

 

 

Optimize Web Sites for Search

There is no shortage of theories on optimizing a site for search. The four most important factors are:

  1. Making sure that your site is search engine friendly. Since KingSiteBuilder generates all of the HTML, doing this is easy. We even provide space for meta-tags such as descriptions and keywords
  2. seo optimizeWrite content that is relevant to the subject at hand. This means choosing keywords that you expect people to search on and using them frequently in the text of the web site. KingSiteBuilder provides a handy keyword density analyzer to show how often words are used on any page.
  3. Submit sites to the important search engines in a format that they prefer. KingSiteBuilder will automatically create Google Sitemaps which are becoming the standard for defining the pages in a site and making it easier for search engines to crawl a site and know when it is likely to be updated.

  4. Make sure that other important sites link to your site. Having an attractive well constructed site is more likely to be considered by important sites for outbound links.

 

One Shopping Cart to Unite Them All

Traditional merchant account, PayPal™, Google Checkout™, 2Checkout™... KingSiteBuilder's built-in shopping cart works the same with all of them and lets hosts collect affiliate fees when users sign up for them.

Traditional merchant accounts are the gold standard of e-commerce, and KingSiteBuilder supports virtually all traditional processors using CartManager™ as a gateway. Unfortunately, the fees, security requirements and lengthy commitments are deal-breakers for smaller startups or sites with volume under $1000 - 2000. A local amateur soccer team's site might sell only a team t-shirt to local fans, generating $100/month in sales.

These are the very same customers that low to medium-level hosting accounts typically target with site builders. Fortunately, no-commitment processors are now more popular than ever, have competetive fees, and have very user-friendly security requirements. Each has its unique strengths:

Easier for Newcomers to Personal E-Commerce

KingSiteBuilder integrates shopping with the regular content of the site. For most users, this is more intuitive than a "catalog" approach and grants more flexibility in laying out the descriptions of products. All of the product information is contained in the "Add to Cart" button which is automatically created by KingSiteBuilder.

  • easy shopping cartStart with a pre-fab shopping page in choice of layouts to help get started with the formatting of products. Users choose their card processor from a drop-down list.
  • Enter text and pictures for each item with our regular rich text editing capability. There are no limitations on formatting or size.
  • Double click on the Add to Cart button and use the form wizard displayed here to enter the details of the product.
  • All of the account setup information is kept in one place so that it can be changed at any time without updating the Add to cart links.
  • When the site is published it will link with the actual shopping cart and visitors may purchase the items.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Introducing the "Widget" Architecture

Today's web sites have active content that uses technologies such as Javascript and PHP. Embedding active content on a web page is part of our new "widget" architecture. It allows scripts to be placed anywhere on the page by using the familiar "box" model.

Widgets allow a script to be packaged in a way that can easily be incorporated into a web site by novice users. The script is "wrapped" such that it has an interactive properties dialog where the user can configure the widget with a user interface of the author's choosing. When added to the web-page a template is used to configure the script based on the properties set by the user. Most new functionality in KingSiteBuilder will be packaged in this way. We will eventually open this up to third parties to allow for the packaging of scripts that can be fully integrated into KingSiteBuilder.

To date we have implemented the following widgets for use with KingSiteBuilder:

  • A Photo Navigation and Slide Show - This navigates the viewer through the photo album and pops up a slide show. By pre-loading pictures the slide show works well even at lower bandwidths.
  • Google AdSense - This widget allows code from the Google AdSense program to be used for the creation of advertising. The widget accepts pasted code and interprets the parameters to automatically size the AdSense box on the page.
  • sIFR Fonts - This feature is implemented entirely as a widget. It is a great example of the power of the properties dialog where fonts and font properties can be set.

We have also implemented fundamental building blocks for users who have programming skills and wish to create their own active content. These widgets are only available in Pro version of KingSiteBuilder:

  • iFrame - Allows content from other sites to be embedded directly onto a web page.
  • Javascript - Allows Javascript and/or HTML to be entered and tested. It is very useful for embedding pre-configured scripts such as the Google Map API or banner advertising scripts. The widget reports Javascript errors so the code can be tested before placing it on a web page.
  • PHP - We have chosen PHP as the language for active server content because it is the most widely supported in the web hosting industry and contains the security features that most hosting companies demand. Scripts can be debugged using the widget interface before inserting on a page.

 

 

The Pro Version of KingSiteBuilder Has CMS Features for Advanced Site Design

Page Masters Site templates have common headers, footers and navigational elements. With KingSiteBuilder Pro, these can be updated and the changes reflected throughout the site. Multiple levels of page masters are used so that elements that are truly common throughout the site (such as the footer copyright notice) get changed in one and only one place.
Color Palettes Palettes provide global control over all colors used in the site. Changing colors in the palette will change the colors throughout the site.
  • Color shifting technology can even change the color of images.
  • Color selection is based on the same user interface as is used in Adobe Photoshop.
  • Preview the color changes before committing to them.
Style sheets Style sheets provide global control over style attributes. This gives web-sites a consistent look and feel and provides a central place to change style elements such as
  • Font faces, sizes, colors and decoration
  • Control of margins, padding and line height
  • Decorative backgrounds such as rounded corners
  • Images for bullet lists
Multiple stylesheets can be maintained and can be associated with individual elements on a webpage.
Composite Graphics Today's web sites use simple graphical concepts such as rounded corners and decorative borders on text blocks. KingSiteBuilder uses multi-part, 'composite' images for complex shapes so that they can be stretched and sized while preserving the integrity of their design. These composite images can be applied as backgrounds to any element on the page. New composite images can be created with KingSiteBuilder Pro.
Multiple Sites Customers can create multiple web sites with KingSiteBuilder Pro. The way that this works depends on the control panel being used, but includes support for sub-sites (sites that have a suffix on the domain name), sub-domains and 'add on' domains.
Start With a Clean Modern Site Template...

Each template has a variety of color themes which can be selected during the site creation phase and changed at any time. Templates also come with an assortment of over 20 different page layouts. Our new open template architecture lets you create your own templates or re-organize the stock templates.

...and Then Make It Your Own

Users can modify any part their site's template to suit their needs if needed; they're not stuck with a one-size-fits-all design. KingSiteBuilder's page masters (templates) can be edited just like any other page. Changes will be immediately reflected in all pages based on the page master. This includes changing images, buttons, boxes, default text styles, default color schemes, menus, and so forth.

One of the special challenges that users face when changing a site's colors are the graphics. Often, colorized images, buttons, boxes and other graphic elements must be painstakingly recolored using PhotoShop™. Yet, recoloring graphics is a non-starter for most users. KingSiteBuilder's exclusive color-shifting technology can recolor graphics automatically or at the press of a button with no additional software or skill needed.
