Our main goal in developing the Biz-Zone WebPortal One was to make it fast and easy for organizations to manage their own websites. Here is an overview of what you can do as you get started:
Site management options:
- You can add pages
- You can add sub-menu pages to an existing page
- You can edit and delete pages
- You can upload images
- You can reorder pages
- You select whether a page appears in the menu system
- You can adjust the meta tags on each page
Content management options:
- You can choose the design template (layout) for individual pages
- You can add, edit or remove text, images and objects on any page
- Page templates make it easy for you to add images to specified locations on an individual page
- Some templates are designed to automatically include / display the page and in some cases images as well
- Our inline editor removes the need to use any HTML when adding and editing information! Use the toolbar to add bolds, headlines, links, and images.
This manual describes a number of concepts you should familiarize yourself with. This quick start section is designed to help you quickly recall procedures taught in your training session. A more complete explanation of each feature can be found in this user manual.
To edit your website you must login using the link, username and password. These can be found in Appendix A of this manual.

Most often you will want to add or change information on a page. To do this you simply navigate to the page using the WPO and click on the title for that page. To access sub-pages for a particular section click on the Sub-Menu link and then click on the page title.
This will take you to a new page where you can edit the page contents using a toolbar similar to MS Word. Delete text you want to change and add in new text or images. You can also control the layout by adding simple tables and putting your information in different columns. (This works particularly well for things like information lists.) If you will be working on the page off and on you will want to do an interim save periodically. You can do this by clicking on the Save to draft button (not the Save to Website button!).
Once you have got your information in place the way you want it to appear on the live website. You will now click the Save to Website button to make your changes go live.

Tip: If you have a pop-up blocker in place, hold the Control (Ctrl) key when you click on the Save to Web button. This will override the pop-up blocker so that your work can be saved. |
You can remove a page by clicking the Delete button at the top of the screen. This will permanently remove the entire page and does not delete selected text in the edit window.
You can also add a new page of information, for example the bio of a new staff member. To do this, go to the WPO home and click on the Create New Page in Position # option. By default it creates a page in position 1. You will likely want to change this by selecting the 1, deleting it and entering the number where you wish the page to be located in the menu. You can always reorder pages using the Reorder pages link. Review the instructions for adding a page below to add a page.
You can add images and files. To do this click on the "Manage Files" link in the left hand menu of WPO. This will bring up a tool that will let you browse image and file folders, with a preview panel on the right hand side. To upload a file, right-click on the folder you wish to upload to and select either Upload or Mass Upload. Note: some web hosts have a maximum file size, which is usually set to 10 Megabytes per file.
