TTG Navigation with more robust Service/About/Info pages

I love the Gallery.  But I'd like more design control over the Service/About/Info pages, yet maintain TTG's Navigation.  Is there an easy way to accomplish this?

Sure. What did you have in mind?
Using phplugins you can accomplish just about anything you want. Or you could use Stage pages instead of the built in Pages pages.

Hi Mark,

I used Auto Index and Stage for these http://www.kopstone.co.uk/about/index.php.

Simple, but much easier to maintain individually.

Re: TTG Navigation with more robust Service/About/Info pages

Thanks.. I'm trying to move geaward.com to TTG stuff.
iproof.me is my first TTG attempts to get other info onto those non gallery pages.  Clearly hacked and confused.  I call it .. work in progress.

I'm drawn to TTG Gallery's ability to easily update photos and the gallery slide show navigation is fresh. 

I want a more robust look for the other pages. 
But can't see how to add a nicer look inside Pages. 
Markdown just falls short. Some formatted text, an image and a poor Link to my PDF pages... info.  Not what I'd call user friendly.

Pointing to another page seems the only way to do that, but I want a unified TTG's Navigation.   I assume that pointing to another page from PAGES will not keep TTG's Navigation.

I can't find enough information about Stages to see how it will allow me to clean up my iproof.me/Info page.  Great one page galleries with Stages.

Just obviously confused and looking for a simpler way to accomplish this.

You can always use html. Matt's provided css for a responsive grid framework that allows you to create columns of text. It's all html though.
The documentations hasn't made it over to CE4, but the css appears to be the same as in CE3. That documentation is here:
http://ce3wiki.theturninggate.net/doku. … _framework

You can use the responsive grid in all of the web engines.
