Your PastPerfect Online Site's Landing Page
Concept
When visitors come to your PastPerfect Online site they will be greeted
with various ways to explore your collection. They can use the keyword
and advanced searching options to be taken directly to the records that
meet their search criteria. If visitors prefer to simply look through
collections to see what sparks their interest, they can discover collection
records with random images or by browsing through the catalogs.
Your PastPerfect Online site can be customized to match your existing
homepage. You can change colors, fonts, backgrounds, images, text alignment,
and much more. The Advanced Style and Customization section of this User
Guide will explain how to make these modifications.
