About SiteBuilder
SiteBuilder consists of two parts: Wizard and Administrator Panel.
With SiteBuilder Wizard, you can create sites by simply choosing the design preset you like and
adding text and images. And then you can add picture galleries, blogs and online stores with a
few clicks. You do not need to know any markup or scripting languages to have a site.
Administrator Panel is a tool for managing and maintaining web sites created in Wizard.

About SiteBuilder 9
Main Steps to Create Site
As a rule, the process of working on a site includes three main stages: planning, implementation,
and site updating or maintenance.
Planning: The first and most essential stage in any project is planning. Before starting with
SiteBuilder, think about the purpose of your site and its target audience. After this, decide where
your site will be stored, or, in Internet terminology, hosted. This stage is beyond the scope of
this document. Because SiteBuilder is often provided with a web hosting package, we assume
that you already have a web space for publishing your site. Then, you create a structure of your
future site and prepare its contents, including text and graphics. The planning stage is extremely
important because it eventually determines the usefulness of your site.
Implementation: The next stage is the implementation of your site. The five-step SiteBuilder
Wizard takes you through the entire process of creating your site, from initial design to
publishing and maintenance. The following is an overview of the main steps required to create a
site using SiteBuilder:
1 To create a site, open the SiteBuilder Wizard. You can start working with the Wizard
anonymously, without supplying login and password.
2 Complete the first four Wizard steps (select the design, create the site structure, add site
contents, add site modules and provide extra information for search engines).
3 Go to the Publish step and start the publication process. You can publish you site either to
the provider's location or to an FTP server you have access to. If you select to publish to an
FTP server, your site will be put online at once. If you select to publish to the provider's
location, your site will be saved as a trial site in a temporary storage directory on the
SiteBuilder server. To be able to publish your site on the Internet, you should purchase
hosting services from your provider. The instructions on how you can do that will be
displayed on the Publish screen appeared after the publication process is completed. This
screen will also contain the link to your trial site. Use this link to access your site for further
editing or updating it.
4 After you purchase hosting services from your provider, you will be provided with a domain
name. The SiteBuilder provider will point your SiteBuilder account to your domain name,
and after publication, your site will be available on the Internet.
5 Enter the link to your trial site in the address bar of the browser window. Your site will
open. Click Edit at the top of the site to launch the SiteBuilder Wizard. Now you can edit the
content of your site. After editing, click Publish web site. The updated content of your site
will be transferred to the server where your site is hosted. After publication, your site will be
available on the Internet.
Maintenance: When you complete the above steps, your site becomes available for visitors. It is
critical to keep your site content fresh because this is a good way to show your attitude to
customers and services. Therefore, update your site on a regular basis. All you need to do is to
log in to the SiteBuilder, edit the content, and click Publish. SiteBuilder will automatically
transfer the updated content to your hosting location.
For detailed instructions on what to do on every step of creating your site, see the following
chapters.

Adding Pages
To facilitate working with SiteBuilder, HTML pages are grouped as pre-defined sets of pages,
which are different for various types of sites (business, personal, or other). Depending on the
purpose and functionality of your future site, you can use a ready-to-use page set and modify it
to adjust your site structure to your needs.
There are six types of sites available in the current version of SiteBuilder:
Blog
Business
Personal page
Basic
Photo gallery

Pages listed in the Special pages box are not included in a selected type of site. These pages can
be added to your site structure independently.
