Managing websites

As a free trial user, you can create only one website; when you purchase a hosting account, you will be able to build three SiteXpress websites (although you may only publish one of them at a time). You can upload no more than 12MB worth of images for use on your unpublished website.

Upon logging into the system, you can choose to create a new website, edit your existing website, or delete your existing website and start over. You must first register for a hosting account to be able to publish.

To create a new website:

  1. Log into SiteXpress.
  2. Select a category and click Done.
  3. Click the template thumbnails in the left frame to view template previews in the right frame. To browse for a template in another category, select the desired category from the select list at the bottom of the window.
  4. Once you have decided upon a template, you may set the base color used to render the website. The available base colors for the current preview are shown directly below it. After selecting a base color (or leaving the default selection), click Done.
  5. Enter company details, which are optional. If you do enter them, click Done; if you would prefer not to, click Skip.
  6. Enter a reference name for your website and choose the pages you want to start with.
  7. Click Done. The SiteXpress workspace loads, displaying the selected website.

To edit an existing website:

  1. Log into SiteXpress.
  2. Click the hyperlinked reference name for the website you want to work with. The SiteXpress workspace loads, displaying the selected website.

To delete an existing website:

  1. Log into SiteXpress.
  2. Click the Delete hyperlink to the right of the website you wish to delete.
  3. Click Done.
