Lesson 2: How to Create A New Web Site

 

 To create a site, you will need the following:

  • A computer that is able to run a standard Web browser, having at least 8 Megs of RAM
  • A modem. We suggests a 28.8 Kbps modem or better.
  • A Web browser that is at least HTML 3.2 compliant.
  • An email account


Look for a link or button that says "Create a Web Site" within your community's Web Site. Click the link/button.

 

     
Log in or Create a New User Profile.
Once you have clicked "Create a Web Site" you will be asked to Login (if you already have a user profile) or to Create a New User Profile.
     
  Choose a Signature Site.
Once you have created your user account or logged in, you are taken to a screen that will allow you to pick what type/style of site you wish to create. These types/styles are called "Signature Sites."

A Signature Site is like your master blueprint of your site. It consists of a preset template related to the business or organization category in which the Signature Site is labeled. Signature Sites are usually grouped into "sets" based on a category. For example your community may have an "All-Purpose" category with miscellaneous Signatures (templates) or a "Sports" or "Education" category.
     
  In this example, the Signature Set is titled "A" and includes 2 different Signature Sites. In order to choose one of the Signature Sites, you must click directly on the site graphic.

   

[Note: The different types of Signature
Sites and Signature Sets available to you
are determined by your community's
System Administrator.] 

     
Personalize Web Site.
Once you have chosen the Signature Site, you will be taken to a "Set Up Web Site" form where you can give your website a title/name, description and establish contact information for the site.
