Building a Page Using Stripes

Each theme is equipped with placeholder content. Use it as a base to fill your site's landing page with content. All elements can be customized individually. xprs_segmente Division of a Page in Sections Particular about the XPRS Editor is its modular page structure with so-called stripes.

There are individual settings available for each stripe. The type of stripe determines which settings are available for it. For example, you define the placement of the images, the amount of images per row, as well as the gap between the pictures for a gallery. xprs_segmente_auswahl Choosing One of the Numerous Stripes Of course, you can also move stripes within a page and delete them.

Adding Effects

Only very few contemporary sites work without animation effects. Modern CSS3 and JavaScript allow for impressive effects which you can also use in the XPRS Editor. There are classic hover effects applied to your gallery, for instance. xprs_effekte Adding Effects to a Stripe Choose an effect from a list. These include enhancement and 3D image effects.

Your Shop

Adding a shop to your website is just as easy as integrating a gallery.

Adding a Blog

Adding a blog to your website is similarly easy. It's provided as a stripe as well, and can just be placed on any desired spot on your site. This stripe displays linked teasers to the individual blog posts. Using the settings, you can add new posts to your blog and manage existing ones. xprs_blog Simple Addition of a Blog You can create unique blog entries by adding sections.

Managing and Adding Pages

Although one-pagers for websites are still popular, the website builder also helps you create complex websites with multiple pages. Set up pages, and add a menu to your site via the page management. xprs_website Choosing a Menu for Your Website There are classic page menus, as well as those that are fixed to the upper border of the page. There's also the option to choose a variant of the contemporary burger menu, which is very popular at the moment. In total, there are nine different types of menus to choose from.

Preview and Publishing

Once all pages are set up and filled with content, you can make XPRS display previews for various devices. Aside from the desktop view, there's also a view for smartphones, as well as one for tablets. xprs_vorschau Preview on Different Devices There are different options for publishing your website. If you don't have a domain, or don't want to use your own one, the XPRS Editor creates a new URL. On top of that, you can also make your website run on your custom domain, or have a domain be registered via XPRS.

SEO and Header

To allow your website to be found, there are a couple of additional SEO options. This lets you decide whether you want search engines to index your website.

    Website builders are great tools to help people with no coding knowledge build their online presence.
    Being a professional photographer, I felt the need to make my portfolio website which would showcase my work but I had no knowledge about coding.Thankfully, website builders like Pixpa helped me build my website with simple drag and drop feature. I would recommend photographers to try Pixpa for their website needs.
