Setting Up Your Website

Getting started in 3 easy steps

The 3-step getting started process looks like this:

1. Click the ‘Try for Free’ button at the top of this website.

2. Choose a Design. 30 are shown but over 1500 are available once you’ve set up your website. You can change designs at any time without losing any of your work.

3. Name Your Pages. You can name up to 5 pages for your site. More pages can be added and changes can be made at any time.

Note: When you're logged in to your website, you'll always see a toolbar at the top of the page. This toolbar is what makes editing your website simple. All the main editing functions you'll use are just one click away.


Adding a Page

1. Click the ‘Add Page’ button on the toolbar. This will start the Add Page wizard.

2. Choose a Page Type from over 25 different layouts, including:

  • Photo Albums
  • Message boards
  • Custom forms
  • Catalogs
  • And more..

3. Name Your New Page. Enter a name for your page, then and click ‘Add Page’. You will be automatically taken to the page editor.

 

Editing a Page

1. Click the ‘Edit Page’ button on the toolbar.

If you just added a page, skip this step as you will automatically be taken to edit mode.

 

2. Edit Your Page. Editing a page is easy. Select fonts, styles and colors from on-screen menus.

The text editor works a lot like Microsoft Word or any other word processor. You don't have to download or install anything for it to work. Just add and format your text.

3. Click ‘Save’ when you’ve finished editing your page. You’ll then see what your page looks like after the changes.

How to Add a Catalog to your Website

A catalog lets you show your visitors what you have to offer. It can display images, product details, pricing, and customization options.

1. Click ‘Add Page’ on the toolbar.

 

2. Click the ‘Catalog’ page type.

3. Name the catalog and click ‘Add Web Page’.

4. Choose a layout. There are 3 to choose from: product listings, product thumbnails, and product previews. Your products and the amount of detail you need to list will help you decide the best layout for your catalog.

5. Edit your catalog. You can add a header or footer to your catalog page or change the page title. You can also add products at this point.

When you’re finished editing, click ‘Save’ at the bottom of the page.
