How to create a Supersite

Any website can be turned into a Supersite by selecting the menu Utilities  Web Export Options  which brings up this dialog: The top options select whether this is a conventional (paged) website or a Supersite.  If you select Supersite, then the next option provides three basic page arrangements; all pages arranged vertically, so this is much like a multi-page PDF document in Adobe Reader, or arranged horizontally so you scroll sideways to see pages, or finally the last option to provide animated page transitions. If you select the Page Transition option, then the next two controls become enabled providing a drop- down list of page transitions and a slider control of the transition time (speed).

How to make each page transition different

The above Page Transitions option sets the default transition for all pages in your site. But you can set different transition effects on individual pages. To do this use the Page & Layer Gallery, right click on the page, and select the Web page properties option. The bottom section of the dialog allows you to set the individual transition property for this page.

Transition direction

The transition effect you choose for an individual page sets the transition going to the page in question. Each transition has two versions or directions of animation. When you go to a page from an earlier page the animations play in one direction. If you go to the page from a later page then it plays in the reverse direction. In other words going forward through your website will play the animation as described, going back will play it in reverse.  For example if you select ‘slide in from the right’ it will do this when going from one page to the next, but if you go back, it does the opposite and slides out to the right.
