Step 3: Create a Web Page


In order to allow you to easily create a single Web page, or an entire site, SiteControl offers an online tool called SiteBuilderWebsite Builder.

Without any additional software or configuration or even web design knowledge, you can use SiteBuilderWebsite Builder to build your web site from scratch.  Once SiteControl is fully activated, you can immediately use SiteBuilderWebsite Builder to build your web site, even before Propagation is completed.  However, during (and only during) Propagation, you may have to use the Temporary URL to view the web site you created on a browser.

(If you are interested in using separate software to create or upload files, see the FTP Overview topic.)

SiteBuilderWebsite Builder is a template-driven, online web site development tool.  In other words, using only an Internet browser, you can create a rich, customized web site without knowledge of HTML code.

HTML code is the basic building block of a Web page. Some people prefer to work directly with HTML code, but tools such as SiteBuilderWebsite Builder, Dreamweaver or FrontPage can manage the code for you, allowing you to focus on the "look and feel" of your web site.

 

If your browser is set to block pop-up windows, then please make an exception for SiteBuilderWebsite Builder, which requires the use of a pop-up window. Most browsers allow you to make an exception for specific web sites, usually in the form of a prompt immediately below the address bar.
