Support Manual

The Web Site Builder in your Control Panel allows you to create your web site quickly and easily. It is an alternative to using other applications, such as Microsoft FrontPage, Macromedia Dreamweaver or Netscape Composer. The tool is self-guided and self-explanatory, but some detailed instructions are provided in this section to help you in setting up your personalized site.

PLEASE NOTE: We no longer support the Site Creation Tool but it is still usable.

Instructions - download the Website Builder User Guide

To create your website using Site Builder, log onto your Control Panel and click on the site builder icon. Choose the design you'd like to use, add your company name and info, to choose the pages you'd like to include on your site, and to add your own content to each page.

Web Site Pages - Choose how many pages you want:

Your website can have between one and six pages. Turn each page on or off by activating the checkbox next to it. Only pages with their checkboxed turned ON will be part of your website. The index-page, 'Welcome', is required and is therefore ALWAYS ON. For each activated page, you can customize its title, which also appears on the menu for future editing.

To change a page's title, just edit the existing title next to the checkbox. When you are done, click SAVE to register your changes.

Page Contents Menu: These are your website pages (that you chose to include on your website by using the "Website Site Page tool" above.)

To add content to each page, click a page name. On the right hand side will appear a "Webpage Content" box where you can edit how that pages looks and what it says.

Publish Site Menu:

After you are done editing each page, click the "Finish" link under the Publish Site menu. If you don't click "Finish", your site will not be saved.
