SiteMaker: The Basics 2. Editing Menus

Menus can be repositioned through Page Master as explained in ‘SiteMaker: The Basics 1. Adding your Site Name‘.

Note: If you have purchased your SiteMaker package after the 4th June 2013 you will be using our new version of SiteMaker.

The new version creates a website in HTML5 rather than flash, making our SiteMaker website viewable on many popular phones and tablet devices.

Because of this some of the Support Centre articles may not apply to your SiteMaker configuration. To make it easier we have appended all relevant articles with HTML5 to make it easier for you to find your desired guide.
