MenuWare - The Big Picture

What It Is (and Isn't)

MenuWare provides you with a complete web site and web hosting solution for your restaurant. To appreciate what we offer, you should understand the old way of doing things. In the past, you needed several steps to create and maintain a website.

A site designer would create the visual aspects of a website.
A site programmer would write backend applications, such as mailing lists.
A site hosting company would charge a monthly rate to keep the site online.
An HTML expert would need to maintain and update the site.

With MenuWare, we provide you with the complete package. Instead of needing an HTML expert to maintain the site, you can do it yourself regardless of your computer skills. Adding news, information about services and events, and other unique features is as simple as typing into your word processor.

Where Is Your Site?

Your site's address is of the form of http://something.menuware.com/. It was sent to you when you created your trial account. Note that this is a temporary address, which can be replaced with a real domain name once subscribed (such as YourSite.org).

How Do I Update My Site?

First, go to your site. Be sure you're logged onto your site as an administrator. If you've done this successfully, there will be a yellow bar at the top of your site. The drop-down menus contain most of the options you'll need to update your site. You'll also see controls around your site. The most common:

	This button allows you to add new items.
	This button allows you to make changes to an item.
	This button allows you to remove an item.

Some pages also feature a yellow box that floats off to the right-hand side of the page with buttons. These give you control over the content of the page you're currently viewing. One handy feature in some of these is the idea of a blurb. A blurb is simply a chunk of text you can add to the top of this page.
