Customizing Your Control Panels
You have the ability
to completely customize or "brand" your end user's control
panels as well as your login page and signup forms. This is done in
the "Look and Feel" section of your Administrative Control
Panel.
Click on "Look
and Feel" from your Admin control panel and you will see that
you can customize the following items:
- Banner HTML Code:
enter the HTML code for the banner you want to show up
both in both your admin control panel and your end user
control panels.
E.g.:
<a href="http://www.destination_company.com/cgi-bin/blah-blah.cgi"
target="blah-bhlah"> <img src="http://www.domain.com/images//banner.gif"
width=468 height=60></a>
Tip: use this banner to link to the End User
Manual or our end user Knowledge Base to provide easy
access to support for your clients.

- Show Copyright: toggle
the button to show / hide the copyright notice in the top
left corner of the window above the logo both in admin and
user control panels.
|
- Logo Image URL: enter
the URL address of the image to show up in the top left
corner of the control panel
E.g.: http://www.domain.com/images/logo.gif
|
- Signup Image URL: enter
the URL address of the image to show up in the top left
corner of the hosting plan signup forms.
E.g.: http://www.domain.com/images/signup.gif
|
- Login Image URL: enter
the URL address of the image to show up on the logging
page on the right.
E.g.: http://www.domain.com/images/login.gif

Please note that you
will need to create and upload these images to your website before
you can configure them above.
In addition, you can
customize the colors and also the design or "skin" that
your end users will see.
Customizing
Control Panel Design and Colors
You can choose from three different
designs and color schemes for your end user's control panel.
To set a new preferred (i.e.
default) design for the user control panel, do the following:
- Select Design Settings
from the Look and Feel menu.
- In the Choose Design box
select the default design.
- Click the Modify button.
- On the page that appears, change
the settings:

- Users can choose this
design - this option determines whether this design
becomes available to your customers;
- New users will get this
design as default - switching this option ON will switch
it off for all other designs;
- Choose another design
- go to another design to modify.
- For each design (left menu, text
based, no menu) you can set different image and icon sets and
also create only one custom color scheme, by changing and
retouching one of the predefined color schemes.
* If you choose a default color scheme, your custom color
scheme settings will be lost.

After you change the settings, click
the Preview Window icon at the bottom of the page to see how
your settings will effect the end user control panel.
Now you can return to editing
design settings or leave the Design Settings page.
Once your control panel is
customized to your satisfaction, the next step is to setup your payment
processing for your web hosting account...
Go
to step 7...
