Chapter 7: Working with Images and Graphical Elements
About inserting images and buttons
There are special considerations when you insert images and PayPal buttons on a web page.
About inserting images
You can add images from several sources, including your computer, local network, website,
e-mail, Microsoft Internet Explorer web browser, or another application, such as Microsoft Word
or Excel.
Note:
Images that you add to your page should be in one of the following web-ready formats: JPG,
GIF, or PNG (16). If the image you want to add is in another format, you can use an image-editing tool,
such as Macromedia Fireworks, to convert the image to a web-ready format.
When you add an image to a page, it’s a good idea to add descriptive text about the image so that
the image is accessible to users with disabilities. Your Contribute administrator can enforce the
image-accessibility option so that a dialog box prompts you for a description whenever you add
an image.
Note:
For more information, talk to your Contribute administrator or see
“Setting page-editing and
paragraph settings” on page 207
.
About PayPal buttons
PayPal buttons, created by WebAssist.com, make it easy for you to add e-commerce functionality
to a Contribute page. After you create a payment button, you can instantly accept credit card
payments from your customers. PayPal provides a secure, hosted check-out service to process and
record all your transactions. If you don’t have a PayPal account, you can open one for free in a few
minutes. There are no setup or monthly fees, and PayPal charges you only when a customer
payment occurs.
Note:
Your Contribute administrator must enable the PayPal feature for your role before you can use
it. For more information, talk to your Contribute administrator or see
“Setting page-editing and
paragraph settings” on page 207
.
There are five kinds of PayPal buttons you can insert into a web page:
•
Buy Now button
defines an item offered for immediate purchase, and includes a product
name, price, item number, and other shipping and handling costs.
•
Add to Cart button
defines an item that a customer can use to add the item to a shopping cart
for purchase.
•
View Cart button
is used with the Add to Cart button, and lets customers view the items in
their shopping cart and check out whenever they want to complete their purchases.
•
Subscription button
defines a service that the customer can pay for on a recurring basis, and
also provides an option to setup a free trial period. You can define the amount, the subscription
period, and how many times to repeat billing.
•
Donation button
enables you to collect donations from a button on your website, or even
using a link in an e-mail.
