Hello. I'm trying to make a Site Designer web site to appear and function similarly to my old VSD site. Coffinsofthewest.com. Coffee Cup VSD was so easy to build with, and I'm sad to see it discontinued but I understand it needed to be replaced. So I need a little help with the new software. Specifically, how do I put my Banner image/logo at the top center of a page so that I can arrange the navigation buttons just beneath? I think that would get me started. Thanks for any help, Steve C.

What I need to know & others who may want to chip in, is which framework are you wanting to use for your site
1/ Foundation
2/ Bootstrap
3/ Materialize
4/ Vanilla

Although there are similarities in all of them for a lot of things, there are differences in each, there are a lot more things that can be done in the foundation framework, there are plenty of people that use any or even all the frameworks so there should be plenty of help available but it would be better if we know which one you are using so that answers or demo can focus on the one framework you are using.

As you see, there are different opinions about which framework is the best ;) I work in Bootstrap, Foundation and Materialize, and they are all good. But based on the number of helpers you may find here in the forums, I'd go for Foundation.

Steve, I feel your pain. I imagine that most people here have slowly evolved from VSD to Site Designer, and have gone through many stages of understanding over the years For you and I, it is a very abrupt and daunting shift.

Site Designer is a complete shift in context. My approach to grasping this new context was to do the 8 video tutorials several times. Many skills are covered there, including centering a banner or image on the page. But even better, you will begin to see the whole instead of just grabbing a part here or there.

Best of luck!
