EasySiteWizard step descriptions
Below is a description of what information or tasks are
performed during each step of the website editing or construction
process. You may perform the Define it, Design it and Build it
steps described below in any order you like; it is not
necessary to do them in order, even when creating a brand-new
website.
My Websites: If you already have one or more websites
created by EasySiteWizard, This EasySiteWizard's "starting
point"; this is a management tool rather than a step in the
actual website design process. Using the "Delete", "Clone",
and "New" buttons, you can remove an existing website, copy
one of your sites for backup or editing purposes, or create a
new website. If you wish to edit an existing website, click on
the radio button beside the website you wish to edit, and click
"Next". You can also jump straight to a specific step if you
wish by clicking on the "Define it", "Design it", or "Build it"
buttons. Note: if you have reached your maximum limit for the
number of websites you are allowed to build, the "Clone" and
"New" buttons will not be displayed.
Creating or editing a website in EasySiteWizard is fast
and easy. There are only three steps involved in creating a
new web site: Define your site, Design your site, and Build your site.
Define your site: Enter contact information, company name,
publishing location, and other basic information about your
website. This is also where you may choose to create either a
single or multi-page site. The single-page creation process is
identical to the multi-page process; There are only a very few
features which can be exclusively accessed by a multi-page site.
Design your site: Choose a template for your website from
the menu on the left-hand side. A preview image of the template
you have selected is shown on the left.
Build your site: This step is where, through
the page editor, you get to add, remove and modify buttons
on your page, as well as create the content, including
frame layout, text, links and pictures, for each page
on your multi-page site.

and click on the WebsiteOS Help icon.
WARNING: When you publish your website,
EasySiteWizard will
rewrite your index.html page if you already have one under the
directory you are publishing to, and it will create several
files and a new directory in your public directory. Be sure
to backup important files before using EasySiteWizard.

Creating a New Site
First you must access the EasySiteWizard application. In
WebsiteOS, select "Site Builders" from the main menu, and then
"EasySiteWizard" from the Site Builders menu.
Click on the "Begin" button, which will take you to the
"My Websites" page. To create a new site, click on the button
labeled "New". If this button is not present, this means that
you have reached your limit for the number of websites you are
allowed to build; you must delete an existing website before
you can build a new one. When you click on "New", you will be
taken to the first step of the website creation process. See our
Additional Help Database for more details.
