EZ-SiteDuplicator™:
Put ICServ's Designers to Work for You!
Wendy Miskin
Graphic Designer, ICServ
The Marketing Department of ICServ was very proud to unveil one of our latest projects, the EZ-SiteDuplicator™, which is part of the Reseller Tools. We have created several "model" sites to use with this feature, and we are planning on continually adding more.

To use the EZ-SiteDuplicator™, log in with your Reseller number and on the Reseller Tools Menu, click on the last button in the first group labeled "EZ-SiteDuplicator™." On the left you can click on View Available Sites, and the link will give you a drop down menu that you can select a site to duplicate. The first sites listed will be open accounts within your reseller account, the model sites will be listed after those. When you have selected the site you would like to see, click on Preview. When you are finished, click on Return.

When you are ready to actually copy the site, click on Duplicate A Site. The first selection is the target account, which is where you want the new site to go. The target account will only list inactive accounts. An account must be deactivated and erased using the Account Manager function of Reseller Tools before it will be displayed as a target account. Next, select which site you want to copy. Choose from your own or any of the model sites. At this point you can still preview any of the model sites by clicking on Preview. Click on Duplicate to copy the site into the new account. The next screen will allow you to type in a new password and verify it and also select a subdomain name for the new site. Click Submit when finished. The confirmation screen will tell you your Duplication has been completed and you have the choice of returning to the Reseller Tools or logging in to the new account.

Remember, these are MODELS to enable an effortless startup for a new site. They are still completely customizable. At any time you may change the content, graphics, headers, and links. Some of the sites may have additional headers or buttons included and these will be detailed below. Unfortunately, neither tech support nor our graphic designers will be available to change text or colors or the designs of these graphics. We are always looking for new model sites to build, so please send us your suggestions!

Note: The counter information for each model site is also copied over, so do not be alarmed when you see counters of hits from before you duplicated the site into your account.

We currently have 6 model sites ready and available, and more will be available soon. The following list describes each site's key features.

First, the Internet Consultant Model Site
This site was designed with the reseller specifically in mind. This site can easily be customized to showcase your own Reseller packages, with your own biographical and contact information. It includes some information about how EZ-NetTools™ works, and provides a link to the main EZ-NetTools™ site. You may list any of your current member sites as samples for potential clients to visit. Identical template pages are saved as "aaTEMPLATE" and "template" within EZ-Pagebuilder™. These already have the sidebar and buttons added. Click here to see a screenshot.

Business Directory Model Site
This model site is created in the image of our own Business Directory, www.rexburgonline.com. However, this site does contain 2 headers, 1 with the title of Business Directory, called "bizhead1.jpg", and 1 with the title of Our Community Online, called "bizhead2.jpg". You may use the one that best suits your own purposes. There are several pages of helpful links, and many areas to place local content, such as news headlines. The Business Directory contains 3 sample ad pages for those who would like to focus on selling full page, half page, or button size ads to customers. Those pages are called "adpage1" (full), "adpage2" (half), and "adpage3" (button) within EZ-Pagebuilder™. We have strategically placed 3 different size graphic ads on several of the pages, to advertise "Space Available". One size fits into the sidebar, one size is a larger button ad, and the third is a standard size banner ad. An example can be seen on the home page for this site. Identical template pages are saved as "aaTEMPLATE" and "template" within EZ-Pagebuilder™. These already have the sidebar and buttons added. Click here to see a screenshot.

Real Estate Model Site
This model site will be perfectly suited to Real Estate agents in any area. We have compiled pages of helpful information for either home buyers or home sellers, as well as a sample "Open House" tour of a home. These pictures can easily be replaced to display a Home of the Month. We have set up the framework for inputting homes into the catalog to perform searches based on number of bedrooms, bathrooms, price, style, and location. In addition, each of the listed homes can have an individual display page, and a model page for that is called "homead" in the EZ-Pagebuilder™. Identical template pages are saved as "aaTEMPLATE" and "template" within EZ-Pagebuilder™. These already have the sidebar and buttons added. Click here to see a screenshot.

Medical Directory Model Site
For those wishing to target the local medical profession, this site will be a wonderful start. This site was designed for a similar purpose as the Business Directory, only targeting medical specialists instead of businesses. We've included 5 pages of links to medical information on the Internet. The Medical Directory contains 3 sample ad pages for those who would like to focus on selling full page, half page, or button size ads to customers. Those pages are called "adpage1" (full), "adpage2" (half), and "adpage3" (button) within EZ-Pagebuilder™. We have strategically placed 3 different size graphic ads on several of the pages, to advertise "Space Available". One size fits into the sidebar, one size is a larger button ad, and the third is a standard size banner ad. An example can be seen on the home page for this site. Identical template pages are saved as "aaTEMPLATE" and "template" within EZ-Pagebuilder™. These already have the sidebar and buttons added. Click here to see a screenshot.

Car Dealership Model Site
The car dealership is one of the most information-packed of all the sites, as well as containing some special features like a Loan Calculator for estimating monthly car payments and a catalog search. It contains more than 10 pages of in-depth auto tips and hints, as well as links to car buying Web sites and car manufacturer Web sites. This site can be easily adapted to a local dealership in no time. Identical template pages are saved as "aaTEMPLATE" and "template" within EZ-Pagebuilder™. These already have the sidebar and buttons added. Click here to see a screenshot.

Home Improvement Directory Model Site
The Home Improvement Directory contains hot links to over 20 useful sites on the web, from home improvement loans to Bob Vila's Web site. We have included 35 different project tips and tricks, from flower beds to bedroom carpeting. We have added a button for the bulletin board to encourage users to post messages and respond. This site will be ideal for several types of markets, both local and national. Target real estate, home building centers, local contractors, and more. The Home Improvement Directory contains 3 sample ad pages for those who would like to focus on selling full page, half page, or button size ads to customers. Those pages are called "adpage1" (full), "adpage2" (half), and "adpage3" (button) within EZ-Pagebuilder™. We have strategically placed 3 different size graphic ads on several of the pages, to advertise "Space Available". One size fits into the sidebar, one size is a larger button ad, and the third is a standard size banner ad. An example can be seen on the home page for this site.
