Attract visitors to your Web site by adding an eye-catching background
Applies to: Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003
Your Web page may have only a few seconds to capture the attention of a site visitor before he or she decides to leave that page to search for something they find more interesting or attractive. Whether you are trying to attract site visitors for the first time or refreshing an old site with a new look, by adding professional-looking backgrounds, you can help to make your site's first impression a good one. You can use color, pictures, or watermarks to create a more interesting background for your Web pages. The brief overview below describes the available background options in FrontPage 2003. Whenever you want to select a color for a page, FrontPage displays color palettes appropriate for your page. Color palettes include standard colors, which are those colors in the 16-color (Web-safe) palette, and document colors, which are those colors that the current page already specifies. If the palettes do not display the color you want, you can create a custom color that you can use for backgrounds, fonts, and so on. Any custom colors that you define are saved and will be available the next time you use FrontPage. You can set a color for your background, as well as for any text you have, including hyperlinks, visited hyperlinks, and active hyperlinks. For how-to information about adding a background color to your Web page, see Change the background color of a Web page. You can set a background picture for a page by using pictures from Web sites, file systems, the World Wide Web, or clip art. For how-to information about adding or removing a background picture, see: Watermarks are non-scrolling text or pictures that appear behind the other page elements that you place on a Web page. Note Not all Web browsers support watermarks. For how-to information about adding a watermark to the background of your Web page, see Add a background picture to a Web page (which includes how to add a watermark). Themes provide backgrounds, tooThemes are another way to make your Web site stand out.
