homeBuilder Ver. 2 is an easy-to-use ASP-based application which can be completely customized to seamlessly match your site's look and feel:

- Utilizing Microsoft Active Server Pages that can be tested and hosted on any Windows-based PCs and servers
- Unlimited categories
- Unlimited homes with images and full description
- Complete search feature that helps visitors find just the homes they're looking for
- Up to 6 images for each home displayed

homeBuilder Ver. 2 comes with a Web-based Admin panel, you will be able to perform all of the following:

- Password-protected Admin panel
- Fast, real time image uploading
- Add new category, delete existing categories
- Add new homes, edit and delete existing homes

Unzip the homeBuilder2.zip. You will see a main folder titled Home2 and inside that folder will be the template pages of the web site and a sub folder titled auto2. The application files reside inside the Home2 folder.

Use an FTP program such as CuteFTP or WS_FTP_Pro to upload all files and folders to the root folder of your web site on your site server.

The home page for the web site will be the default.asp file. This file is actually a redirect file to the type2.asp file inside the auto2 folder. The type2.asp file is actually linked to the Featured Category and the link appears like this:

http://www.yourdomain.com/Home2/type2.asp?iType=18

You will need to replace the aspsiteware.com domain name with your domain name. It should look like this after the change:

http://www.yourdomainname.com/Home2/type2.asp?iType=18

Any home listed in the Featured category will appear on your home page. DO NOT DELETE THIS CATEGORY or the home page will not work.

If your site domain is yourdomain.com and you upload this whole homeBuilder2 folder to the root of your site, the URL to your homeBuilder2 front page is:

http://www.yourdomain.com/Home2

The URL to Admin is:

http://www.yourdomain.com/Hom2/Home2/admin

The default Admin account is

Admin ID: admin
Password: password

Login and you will be able to change the default password to something else.

To change the footer:
Open the inc_footer.asp file and change the necessary information and background color to meet your requirements.

To change the menu items:
Open the inc_menu.asp file and change the name of the menu items and the background color to your requirements. Create a hyperlink to the appropriate page in your web site root folder for each menu item.

To edit the Home Page:

To change the menu item colors:
This application is customized using Casscading Style Sheets (CSS). Two such sheets are used for this application. They both may be found in the assets folder. They are:

home.css - controls the actual style on the application pages in both the user and admin sections
style.css - controls the actual style on the inc_header.asp and inc_footer.asp files in the main folder only

To change font type, size, color and link color simply edit the appropriate section of the style sheet(s).
