Creating a Custom Entry Page with Two Website Versions  en

Autor: Nektarios K.
Visitado 81, Seguidores 1, Compartilhado 0  

I would like to create a professional Entry Page / Landing Page in WebSite X5 with the following layout:

  • Center: PAMS Pacific Admiralty Maritime Services logo
  • Left side of the logo: Button/link — Enter Full Technical Website
  • Right side of the logo: Button/link — Enter Light Version

The two buttons should direct visitors to:

However, WebSite X5 does not appear to provide a specific Entry Page option that allows me to create this type of custom layout before visitors enter the main website.

What is the recommended professional way to create this in WebSite X5?

Specifically, I would like to know:

  1. Can an existing WebSite X5 project be configured so that a custom Entry/Landing Page appears before the main homepage?
  2. Can I create the Entry Page as a normal WebSite X5 page and configure it as the initial page visitors see?
  3. If WebSite X5 does not support this natively, can I create the Entry Page using HTML/CSS code in an HTML Object?
  4. How can I make the layout responsive so that:
    • Desktop: logo centered, Full Website on the left, Light Version on the right
    • Mobile: logo centered with the two options stacked vertically
  5. What is the best way to configure the URLs so that the Entry Page does not interfere with the existing SEO, sitemap, canonical URLs, redirects, or indexing of the full website and /light/ version?

I am looking for a clean, professional WebSite X5 implementation, not a popup or temporary splash screen.

The desired visual concept is:

ENTER FULL TECHNICAL WEBSITE ← [ LOGO ] → ENTER LIGHT VERSION

The Entry Page should simply allow the visitor to choose which version of the PAMS website they want to enter.

You could create an entry page and set it to "Hidden" under "3 Sitemap" so that this page does not appear in the menu. And mark this page as “Show page without template” via “Properties” and the “Graphics” tab.

So that the home page is displayed when you access the domain, add this command to the .htaccess file at the end, see KI answer

-----

Overview with AI

Paste this command into the .htaccess file in the main directory (root folder) of your domain:

     DirectoryIndex entry.html

-----

Important:

In the .htaccess file, do not remove the part of WebSite X5, but add the additional part below it.

I haven't tested it yet, it's just my thoughts on how to solve the problem.

3 image objects in the grid next to each other, which are arranged using "Responsive" in the order 2,1 and 3, cannot be arranged one below the other using "line breaks" on narrow screens; WebSite X5 does not allow this.

The placement of the images would have to be done using your own CSS code.

Here is the HTML and CSS code that was created by the AI ​​and that would have to be inserted into the two tabs in the "HTML Code" object in WebSite X5.

----- Code from AI (For german user --> bild = image) -----

html

<div class="bild-container">
<div class="bild bild-1">
<a href="https://ihre-zielseite-1.com">
<img src="bild1.jpg" alt="Bild 1">
</a>
</div>
<div class="bild bild-2">
<img src="bild2.jpg" alt="Bild 2">
</div>
<div class="bild bild-3">
<a href="https://ihre-zielseite-3.com">
<img src="bild3.jpg" alt="Bild 3">
</a>
</div>
</div>

css

/* Standard für breite Bildschirme (nebeneinander: 1, 2, 3) */
.bild-container {
display: flex;
gap: 20px; /* Abstand zwischen den Bildern */
}

.bild {
flex: 1; /* Gleichmäßige Breite */
}

/* Anpassung für schmale Bildschirme (untereinander: 2, 1, 3) */
@media (max-width: 768px) {
.bild-container {
flex-direction: column;
}

.bild-1 {
order: 2;
}
.bild-2 {
order: 1;
}
.bild-3 {
order: 3;
}
}

5. ... SEO, sitemap, canonical URLs, redirects, or indexing of the full website and /light/ version?

The SEO experts would have to answer these questions.

CSS tip for linked images

To ensure that the linked images behave in the same way as the unlinked image, optionally add this line to your CSS:

css

.bild a { display: block; /* Verhindert unerwünschte Abstände unter dem Bild */ }

-------------

If necessary, have the /* comments */ in the code translated for better understanding.
