Welcome to the sitebuilder tutorial. Following is an easy to use guide on how you can create your own website.

Through a number of templates which are ideal for any kind of organisation from those of the travel industry right through to those which are agents and lawyers. The sitebuilder is ideal for you.

The first part of creating your brand new website is to find out which category your business fits into. For this example, ours fits under health and lifestyle - so just click on that. AS you can see there are a number of fantastic looking templates that you can use for your business. As you can see in the more designs, there are a number of other templates that you can choose from.

For our purpose we're interested in using this one. As you can see, this is the first page. You'll be able to change colour, change images, change title and select this as the template once you're happy with it.

The first step that we'll do is we'll change the title. Our company is "Fresh Fruit". So all we simply do is just type in there. Once we write the title we simply just submit. In a couple of seconds you can see the title has changed.

All you need to do to change the rest of it is just repeat that exact stage for the ones that you select. Then we can move on.

To add pages its very, very simple. The first page that we'll add is the products. The next is "Get There". Then just repeat for all the pages you need. Lets start with these pages and have a look at the way it looks.

Next thing to do is edit those pages. Lets work with the home page. Just click on edit and it will take you back to the home page. This particular program is as easy to use as word. So, its just a matter of selecting the text in the area that you wish to change and typing in what you want. There is also the ability for you to change the picture, edit or even remove it. The ability to change colours is as simple as highlighting and going to the right colour and choosing the one that you want.

Once you're happy with the way the website looks and the feel, you simply just preview changes, make sure you're happy with it and then just approve. If you do find a mistake it's easy. Just click on edit, go back and correct that mistake. Otherwise we're ready to move on. So click approve.

To change an image on your homepage or your website just click "change/edit template". This will simply take you back to the home page where you're able to change the images. You can choose from the gallery or you can use an existing image of your own.

Then select the inner page, browse and click on the image that you want. Once you're happy with it submit.

Now that we've added the image to the home page you're also able to do this with the other pages including adding your own logo.

One of the other great benefits of having sitebuilder is all the additional features you can add through the "Goodies and Addons" section. For this example we're going to add something to the home page. So simply go to the edit, click on edit and then go the area you wish to add the goodie to. For this example we are going to add it to this specific section. What we will be adding is a video.

To do this click on the section that you wish to add the video to. Simply go to the goodies section and click. It brings up a box. We simply pick the YouTube logo to insert the video. We then simply choose the URL into the space provided and then submit. As you can see the YouTube video has now been submitted.

When we preview the live page simply click on preview and go to the selected area. As you can see the video is now live on the actual home page. This ideal not only for creating the brand image that you want to represent for your company but also allowing visitors to see the products and services that you sell. In this case here, the healthy food alternatives.

As you can see, by use spending a little bit more time on the home page we've also acheived a number of things. We've added a lot more information, we've also added the address details, and the images that will provide the customer with the product and services that we are selling.

We're also able to create a products page which enables you to be able to go in and sell your products via sitebuilder. We also have a Get There guide which allows your customers to find the address and the details in being able to come to the store.

There is also the useful links page. This is ideal for helping you with search engine optimisation. You can also create a live form which will send you an email which is submitted by your customers.

The sitebuilder is rich in features, and what we've covered is just a fraction of those available to you.
