How to Make a Website - Step 7

Step 7 - Add content, pictures, proof read add your logo.

Ok you are almost there with your how to make a website marathon. Right now you should be looking at the sitebuilder software, yeah there are a lot of buttons in online website builder pages, try not to get caught up in figuring them all out stick with doing only what you need to do. Most of these builders also have pretty decent documentation too.

Go ahead and fool around get all your pages the way you want them or as close as you can for the time being. Remember you can ALWAYS come back and change things, including your template if you want. I really like this type of site building because you can change things so easily. Also don't be afraid to use the preview button it will allow you to view the site before it goes live so you check the placement of your page elements. Somewhere there will be a page button you click on a page and a properties tab that is where you can put in your search engine optimization from Step 4. Site builder may have already asked you this but in case it didn't - depends on the type of software, you'll have an idea of where to look.

Even if you make a critical mistake and delete a page or mangle something so bad you can't get it back to looking good you can delete your whole site and start over. Which is why I had you write your content and save it in a separate file. If I had a dollar for every time someone deleted a page they shouldn't have I could probably retire right now.
