Not-So-Quick-Start (Details)

  • Click the (+) button on the lower right

  • Name page, enter title, create page content (add elements from right, click elements for options)

TRY EVERYTHING! If you don't like it, just delete it with the trashcan icon. You can search images on the Internet and use them on your website. Some images may be copyrighted, though. Resize and re-order (move) items around. Text-boxes can be shrunk, to fit the used space, allowing other items to be placed next to it.

  • Review mobile layout. Click the preview button in the top toolbar. The switch devices in the layout selector on the right bottom. Look for overlapping text or any other problems. Close the preview and fix any issues.

  • Publish, create web address, copy address. The web address is the address or your website on flyers. The complete address is indicated below the address selector, in light gray. You can also limit access to your website, for privacy, with options below.

  • Use address in social media, flyers, business cards, etc. Just because you have a website, doesn't mean everyone knows about it. You need to advertise and broadcast the address, and make it accessible to visitors. Also, don't depend on visitors to look for changes. Important changes should also be announced. Websites are for information research, they are no billboards. Let people know about updates on social media or through other means (e.g. verbal announcement).
