5. Can I create a separate page on my website for the Signup Box or the Signup Form?

  • Yes, either you or your programmer can add create a page for your site.
  • You can integrate the Signup Box or the Signup Form into your web site by creating a stand alone page which can be called or 'linked to' from one of your pages. The reason you might want to do this is because you might not have enough room on any of your web pages to house the entire Form
  • To create a stand alone web page, you will need to create an HTML document in a text editor such as Notepad. A web page consists of many lines of HTML code which doesn't make a lot of sense to many of us. Here is the main body of any HTML web page. Copy and paste this code into your text document in Notepad:
  • Change 'Your Web Page Title' to reflect your information
  • The HTML code generated on iBizard for your Signup Box or Signup Form will go in the section 'SIGNUP BOX OR FORM CODES GOES HERE'. Copy and paste the code generated by iBizard for your customized Signup Box or Signup Form into this spot
  • Save the text document under any name you would like with the extension '.html'. e.g. mysignuppage.html.
  • You now have a fully functional web page. This page needs to be uploaded to your web site before it can be linked to. Please refer to the technical documentation of your web hosting company on how to upload individual web pages to your sites root folder
  • Once your new page is on your site, you can now link to it from any of your web pages by using the following HTML code
  • Simply copy and paste this code into any web page you would like to link from and once your visitors click on this link a new page will open up with your Signup Box or Signup Form and they will be able to provide their information using that new page
