Showit Sites FAQ-22
Showit Sites is different from most websites in that it will resize the page to fit whatever screen size the person viewing the site has. Typical websites are a fixed size but Showit Sites resizes the content to display a single page in the most optimum way for a user. Part of this resizing means that backgrounds will move and stretch a little different than a typical site, but each component on the page will maintain a strict relation to the other items on the page so that the layout remains fixed. Because of this, any background images that you want to remain fixed in relation to the items on a page should not be placed in the background but rather as a layer on the page. The site background could then be a solid color or pattern that would scale and stretch behind your content.
How does the layout work?
Deep linking means that every page on your Flash site has a unique URL. This means that if you create a page in Showit Sites, you will be able to copy the link to the page and email that to someone and it will take them directly to that page. Most Flash sites force you to go to the home page and navigate through the site to get to a page, but with Showit Sites you can link directly to any page in your site. This feature can be very useful if you have distinct sections of your site that you want to link to from a blog post or an email, or if you create a unique page for each of your clients you can send them directly to their page.
What is "Deep Linking"?
For most Flash sites it is very difficult to optimize the content for search engines because search engines have a hard time understanding and linking directly to content inside a Flash site. With Showit Sites we are creating text versions of your entire site and links so that when search engines read your site there will be multiple pages linked together. This means that every page in your site can be listed in search results and when a user clicks on the search result it can take them directly to that page in your Flash site using "Deep Linking".

Style Groups are the sections of your site that are similar in some way and provide a way for you to theme a group of pages. The software includes style groups that offer a starting point with color schemes and graphics but allow you complete customization to change it and make it your own. Adding graphics or images to the style group will apply it to all pages within the group, but you can still customize each page.

Showit Web creates amazing Flash slideshows with your images quickly and easily. We have integrated features of Showit Web with Showit Sites so that you can drop a completed Showit Web folder right onto a page and the software will take care of uploading and hosting it and you can move and position the show anywhere you want on the page.
How does Showit Sites work with Showit Web?
The Showit Sites software begins as a download to either Mac or PC and installs an application that runs like a normal program on your desktop. However, when you launch the application you must login and you are essentially working "online" to create your website, so it is a cross between a desktop application and a web application. This brings the power of the desktop together with the power of a web program to create an amazing application. To add files to your site you can simply drag them from your desktop onto the program and the software will take care of all the complicated stuff such as resizing the image, uploading and linking the image into your site. When you are finished building you can simply click "publish" and your site will be online ready to view.
What is a "Rich Internet Application"?
Showit Sites is a "Rich Internet Application" that allows you to build professional Flash websites quickly and easily. It is not simply software or a website, it is a service that combines the power of your desktop computer with the power of the web to create a powerfully simple website creation tool.
