Whenever making a website you should ALWAYS clone pages to keep consistency throughout your website.

How to:

Ok, so you create your home page (index). Once you are happy with the design, structure, layout, of the home page and have a well planned navigation system in place you can then place all your content you require to this page. Save it.

Then, with the file saved already as index, now click 'save as' and save it with your next page's name... so for example 'about'.

Now you have exactly the same page as a basis for your 'about us' page. Everything is in the right place, your banner won't 'bounce' half an inch here and there from page to page... etc etc...

Now, simply just remove all the content that belonged to the index page and replace it with content for the 'about us' page. Save it.

Now you can either clone the index page again, or simply just clone the 'about us' page...

on and on.... very simple, very effective, and can help drastically in providing a professional and far more pleasing looking website.

Hi, use the clone page button to duplicate your index page & make alterations as needed & then save as ?????.
