In order to allow you to easily create a single Web page, or an entire site, ControlPanel offers an online tool called SiteBuilder.
Without any additional software or configuration, you can log in to SiteBuilder, and begin creating Web pages.
(If you are interested in using separate software to create or upload files, see the FTP Overview topic.)
SiteBuilder 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 SiteBuilder, Dreamweaver or FrontPage can manage the code for you, allowing you to focus on the "look and feel" of your web site.

Before you log in to SiteBuilder, you need to allow pop-up windows in your Internet browser. Your browser may automatically block pop-up windows, or you may have something like the Yahoo or Google toolbar installed, whose features include pop-up blocking. If pop-up blocking is activated and you try to access a web page with pop-ups, sometimes you will get a message on your Internet browser near where you see the web site address, or there may be a special button to control/allow pop-ups if you are using one of the third party toolbars. |
