hi all

i need help, im trying to design my website and i come to try and add a new page, which it adds the page name to the menu, but their is no way for me to edit it,

i dont have a clue about coding. or anything, i just thought when i clicked on new page it would bring up a blank template like my home page but obviously not.

all i want to put on this page is some information regarding the airport, with some pictures of various spotting locations and a few links.

can anybody help me at all, is their no way around this coding situation,

basically if it helps anybody i need to new page to look abit like this

http:///...hester-man-egcc.html

but obviously to match the style of my own website.

i do not want the advertisements, latest photos down the right hand side or the hotel prices

but if anybody can get me started maybe on a template that would be brilliant please

matthew mullen, admin panel >> pages and menus >> pages and menus>> add item.
Makre sure to select "local" option when creating new page.

Note: within the "Page Content" is the place where you add your custom content.

Hi Oxwall tips, thank you, yes I know how to actually create a new page by going in that menu, but I do not know HTML or CSS coding.

I have all my text and pictures I wish to put onto the page, but I do not know how I get it aligned the way I want it etc,

Hello Mattew,

You will need software such as dreamweaver(paid) or open element(free) to create a desired page and then paste the codes into the oxwall.

But however you are going to need some basic Html/CSS knowledge, for this purpose (W3schools) is the best for starters.

Hope it resolve your issue...

Hello matthew mullen, .html is not that difficult as it seems to be for something you want to achieve.

General page layout will be added automatically by Oxwall ( so that your page has the header image, footer and rest of the general web site look and feel). All you need to do is to add your own text and images.

That is a very simples example of html with text and images.

---------------
<p> first paragraph text here </p>
<a href="http://www.example.com">
<img src="path_to_your_Image_here" alt="My Image">
</a>

<p> second paragraph with your text here </p>
-------------

On front end this will look like.

First paragraph.
Image will be here.
Second paragraph.

Regarding adding images:
--------
<a href="http://www.example.com">
<img src="path_to_your_Image_here" alt="My Image">
</a>
--------

Where:
- "href" attribute specifies the destination address .
- "src" attribute defines the url (web address) of the image.You can upload your image and then use copied path in Admin Panel >> Appearance >> Edit Theme >>Graphics tab.
- "alt" attribute specifies an alternate text for the image, if it cannot be displayed.
