What is a Special page?
A special page is like a module which extends the site functionality. Each special page is designed for a certain purpose and is identified by its own icon. There are the following types of page modules in InstantSite:
Blog
Supports a standard set of blog functionality: posting, commenting, content categorizing, etc. A Blog page is very convenient for organizing the News, Events and similar pages on sites.
Image Gallery
Allows you to share images or photos online. Supports batch image upload with group editing functions, organizing images into albums, etc.
eShop

Provides integration with a number of online payment systems, such as PayPal, Authorize.Net, and others.
File Download
Allows providing content for download to site visitors.
Please Note: Each File Download page can hold only one file. To provide several files for download, it is necessary to add several File Download pages to the site structure.
Flash Intro
A pre-designed flash introduction to your site. It is possible to choose between several designs of the intro and insert your own text content into it.
Please Note: The Flash Intro module is the only page module that requires no PHP on the publishing location and therefore can be included into a static site.
Forum

Guestbook
Allows you to create a guestbook and manage the posted messages.
External Page
Allows incorporating links to external pages into the site menu.
