Using the tcpIQ Site Editor

If you are designing a new web site then you are in the best position to take advantage of the tcpIQ Site Editor. Either way, we recommend that your take the following steps:

Working with the client, determine a look and feel for the web site. This will involve a color scheme, a menu structure, standard graphics located in defined locations and various details like font face and size. Advanced designers will wrap much of this detail into a cascading style sheets.
Determine the number of pages that are required: front page, product 1, product 2, FAQs, contact us, employee profiles, etc. While discussing these pages get the client thinking about the content of these pages and emphasise that you are not in a position to be able to fill in the actual details as this will require someone who is intimately familiar with the business.
Using the information from the first two points create a web site with all of the pages but make it totally devoid of any information. The web site will feature the menu, the colors, the fonts and all of the pages in place.
For each page make sure you include a server-side reference to:


and where the body is to go write the following ASP code

<% call SiteEditor("FrontPage", "/inc/") %>

Make sure that 'FrontPage' is replaced by a unique name that identifies each page and that /inc/ is replaced by the path to the HTML Rich Text Area directory.
Log on by going to tcpIQSiteEditorLogon.asp. Visit each of the pages and edit the content using the HTML Rich Text Area.
Invite the client to examine the web site (make sure that you are logged off). Inevitably they will suggest modifications to the content. Make the changes during the presentation as a way to train the client in the use of the tcpIQ Site Editor.
Deploy the web site and train the client in maintaining their own content.
