Ask a Question

Why not add the option for file management when making sites in NicePage so we can design a local website for managing the files and folders and all software and apps on your computer you could host files on a website you design with themes and menu music (if you want music) you could use a symbolic link or something like one to allow any size and type of file to be opened in the website through clicking an image or a video to open the file or software or application so the site effectively becomes a file manager that opens files and software and apps from windows file explorer and windows desktop shortcuts and so on, you could maybe also link indexing and or the windows file manager search function as a website search button or magnifier icon into the site menu as well so you can search through the site which in turn searches through the files on windows, how cool that would be to be able to make book shelves for games/music/photos/books/applications and sofware and then host it on a website locally it would be invaluable to businesses who pay extortionate rates to buy and or use far more costly low cost looking and bland file manager UI's (user interfaces) for serving an office's files, instead you could have everything built into web site pages on your own personal site on your own home or office computer with a beautifull cover image art based arrangement that would put windows explorer and any other file manager software to shame. You just open everything by clicking an image or video that acts as a thumbnail for files you have on your computer wicked that would be a top selling feature to have as well allowing the NicePage builders full scope of features to run on top of windows explorer maybe mac finder and linux file managers as well.

Hello CHRIS,

Thank you for your imaginative and detailed suggestion for enhancing Nicepage with a file management system that integrates with local computer files and software.
Your idea of transforming Nicepage into a comprehensive file management system with beautiful visual themes and intuitive navigation is indeed creative and innovative. We appreciate how you’ve envisioned integrating local file management with a web design platform, which could provide a visually appealing and user-friendly interface for managing files, software, and applications.

Nicepage is primarily designed to help users create visually appealing websites with ease. Our focus is on providing powerful web design tools that enable users to build professional websites without extensive coding knowledge. Integrating a file management system with capabilities like symbolic links, indexing, and local file execution falls outside the scope of our current mission and the technical architecture of Nicepage.

Thank you again for your thoughtful suggestion and for being an engaged member of the Nicepage community.

Sincerely,
Anna.

Here's a less technical feature idea then the opposite of technical, why not allow for converting your site to text based website format, for that you will have to start making a lot more custom fonts to use for it to have any difference between one sites text and another otherwise they'd all look similar as they'd have the same writing format, but yeah font based websites would be good.

Also allow your current web sites already built to have the embedded hyperlinks available to you as a list so that you can copy and paste those hyperlinks into a text editor outside of nicepage and save them on your computer before you begin to convert the site to text format, just incase of any mistakes. Also this would ease workflow making a text only site as you just sift through links copy paste into a notepad create a new site with a text based orientation then copy paste the text from your original site into a new one, this could also assist you in making combos of different sites contents into one text site.

Also allow for both a text based conversion and the authentic already built site so you don't modify the original irreparably if you try to convert it to text.

Hello CHRIS,

Thank you for your suggestions.

  1. Text-Based Website Conversion
    Most web builders, including Nicepage, focus on visual design and don't have a built-in "convert to text-based" feature. However, this can be done manually by simplifying the layout and using minimal CSS to create a text-heavy, low-graphic site. Web builders like WordPress can use themes or plugins designed for a minimalist, text-based look (e.g., Typology).
    Nicepage includes font customization features and you could create a minimal, text-heavy theme by stripping unnecessary design elements and using CSS to emphasize typography.

  2. Exporting Hyperlinks as a List
    This feature is not common in any other builders. However, you can manually extract hyperlinks from HTML code or use browser developer tools to gather links from a webpage.
    Workaround: You can manually access your site’s source code or sitemap to extract links. T

  3. Maintaining Both Text and Original Versions
    Most platforms don’t have an automatic switch between text-based and original versions. However, you can achieve this by duplicating the site and customizing each version. In WordPress, for instance, you can create a separate version of the site using a staging environment or subdomain.

We have added the requests to our wishlist about:
Text-based themes
Hyperlink export feature
Dual versions of a site
