Chapter 4 - Your websites tab

Clicking this tab takes you to a list of all the websites you have created. If your price plan only allows one website there is just one link. If you can create multiple sites you will have a link to all sites plus a link to the HubSpace. Each website will be entirely separate from the others. You can change the template of one and it will not affect another. This is one of the most powerful aspects of LayerSpace as it allows you to create a different website for several aspects of your work, or to upload a new set of images that you have created for a specific client, and to keep the new images separate from your main 'portfolio' website. Conversely you can choose to link some or all of your websites using the HubSpace (see HubSpace chapter).

NOTE We sometimes refer to websites created in LayerSpace as 'Spaces'.
