Animating the Site Header |
||
Changes to your site header don't stop with step 2. Under the Extra Tools menu pane located on the left side of the wizard screen, we've provided additional features to give your otherwise "static" company name more pizzazz as your site loads.
 |
Note: Header animations only work with text company names. If you're using a logo file to display your company name, you won't be able to use this feature to animate it. | ||
To animate your header...
- In the XSite Wizard, click the Header Animation link found in the Extra Tools menu.
- The company name text box is displayed in the Header
Animation box. If you haven't already edited your company name by
changing the font color, style or size, you can do it here using the controls
located above the text box.
- The Header Animation feature affects the entire company name, so you don't have to highlight any one part of it.
- Now, under the Animation Settings section, select the various options for the type of animation, target, direction, effect, and timing.
- As you choose an animation tool, additional options appear below. For example, if you choose the Fly animation, a box appears allowing you to select which area of the screen you want the text to "Fly in" from.
- For a Target, you can choose either the Entire Word, which animates your company name as one block, or Each Letter, which animates each letter separately.
- Naturally, you'll want to experiment with all the options to find the effect that's right for you. To see how the options you've chosen will look, click the Preview Animation button to see it in action.
- Once you've decided on the animation, just click Save.
If you want to turn off the Header Animation, just return to this part of the wizard and select None for the animation type.
