The ‘Page Master' is a layer that sits behind every page on your site. Any object that is placed on your Page Master will appear in the same place on every page in your site. This is where your menu and logo (your website name) live, which is why they appear in the same place on every page of your site. The Page Master can be very useful for putting information that you want to appear on every page, e.g. copyright information or a contact link.

To get to the Page Master, go to the Design menu in the SiteMaker Toolbar and select ‘Page Master'. This will then open the Page Master and show you only this unique background layer. You can edit the Page Master just like any other page and add or remove content as required. But remember, anything you add to this page will appear in the same place on every page, so be careful not to clutter your site!

Once in Page Master mode, simply click on your menu to select it. Once selected the 'drag and scale' handles will appear. Now drag your menu to a different position on the page. Or use the 'drag and scale' handles to make it bigger or smaller by dragging one of the black squares in the corners in or out. Remember that your menu will appear in the same place on every page of your site, so make sure you put it somewhere that won't interfere with your other content. When you have finished positioning and scaling your menu, click 'Save' on the ‘Page master’ panel, and then 'Exit' to go back to editing the other pages in your site as normal.

Your logo or site name will usually be on the Page Master too. In Page Master mode you can edit the site logo by double-clicking it and changing the text as you would with any other text box. Just save and exit the Page Master, as you did with the menu, to keep your changes.

It is also possible to hide the Page Master on a specific page (or pages). To do this, go to the page on which you want the Page Master hidden, go to the Toolbar, click Edit → Page Settings. This loads the Page Settings panel with the Settings tab offering a number of options. Choose 'Hide the Page Master on this page' to hide the contents of the Page Master, including the menu and website logo, from this page alone. For example, this automatically happens when you add an Intro page (through the Pages menu) to your site.
