4
Your primary website will be created based on the template you choose.
5
After choosing the template you want, scroll down, check the Terms and Conditions
box, and click Submit.
6
The default site's home page will appear. This is your starting point to
designing your very own website.
As you continue reading this User Guide, you will become familiar with all the aspects of
website design using the Hostway system and you will discover how easy it is to create a
professional looking website all by yourself. We recommend you use this guide as an
exercise to create your first website with the system.
Help
The system provides assistance and guidance while you work.
1
The first time you log in, you will be shown the new user pop-up guide of the
three system panels.
2
You can access the system's FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) by clicking the
Help button in the upper panel. In it, you can read questions and answers
about all the aspects of the system.
3
Every time you see a question mark tooltip
next to a textbox field, you
can hover over it with the mouse pointer to view a short description of it.
The Site Content Area
When you view the site content area, it will already have a template loaded. This is
the template you chose when you created the new site (in the previous chapter of
this User Guide). The screen will contain widgets, which are content blocks,
containing texts, images, maps, etc., which can be easily placed throughout your
site. The template you selected was predefined with default widgets and generic
content. You can use these widgets if they suit your purposes, or remove them
and replace them with your own choice of content.
This section explains how to delete, edit and move the default widgets.
Accessing Content
As your mouse hovers over a content block, such as a text or a picture, a blue
toolbar appears. The toolbar gives you accces to the basic operations you can
perform with the content block (i.e. move, delete, edit).
Deleting Content
To delete a widget, click the close
button on the widget’s blue toolbar.
Editing Content
To edit text, either click the edit
button on the widget's toolbar or click on the
text itself and start editing it. The text editing toolbar will appear and give you
standard word processing functions.
Moving and Positioning Content in Your Webpage

Hover over the widget.

Click and hold the move
button and drag the widget to its desired
location. Drop it where you would like it to appear.
Widgets can be positioned in specific areas. If the area to which you move
the widget is available, a bordered section will appear to indicate where you
can place the widget (release the mouse button).
Left Panel
The left panel contains all the elements that allow you to add content to your
website. These include all the options and functions for website designing.
Popular, Basic, Social, Media and Advanced Tabs
These are tabs for all the widgets, or blocks of content, that you will use to create
content on your website.
A widget is a block of content. Each widget can contain text, image, map,
calculator, form, payment methods and more.
The Popular tab includes the most frequently used widgets. All of them
are included in the other menus described below.
The Basic tab contains all the building blocks of the website including
Picture and Text widgets.
The Social tab includes the social media widgets, including Facebook and
Twitter buttons, the Twitter follow us button and a Facebook like button.
The Media tab has many widgets to load media content, including adding
Flash content, adding a Gallery of images, RSS (web feeds to publish blogs,
headlines and video from the internet) and a YouTube widget to show
videos directly from YouTube.Com.
The Advanced menu has important widgets that you will want to have on
your site, including a Contact Form for prospective customers, a Google
Map to show the location of your business, an Opening Hours widget, a QR
Code to allow your website visitors to scan the QR code with their smartphone, A
widget that lists the business' payment options, A world clock widget and a
calculator widget. If you are savvy with HTML code, you can add your own code to
areas on the website, using the HTML widget.
We will take an in-depth look at each of the widgets in these menus over the
next few chapters of the user guide.
Settings, Design, Pages and Statistic Menus
The Settings menu is used to define basic and advanced options on your website,
including date and time definitions, choosing your site language, adding your
business contact details that will be used throughout the website, SEO (Search
Engine Optimization) to improve visibility of the website to search
engines, statistics definitions and more.
The Design menu will be used to choose the website's theme (you can
change the original template you chose when first creating the site
without losing any of the content of the site), text style, background
graphics and more. For more details, see Appendix A: Using The Design
Menu.
The Pages menu will let you add, edit or remove pages on your web and
also decide if you want to show a page or keep it hidden.
The Statistics menu will give you statistical information of site visits and
use, received from Google Analytics, after you publish your website and define
your Google analytics account in the Settings tab.
The Upper Panel
In this part of the editing screen you can choose to preview, save or publish the
site you are designing. You can also view FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) on
how to use the system.
Previewing the Site
To see what your website looks like after making changes, click Preview. The
preview screen will show you what the website will look like once you publish it.
To preview other pages on the site, simply click on them from the menu in the
preview screen.
You can publish the website from the preview screen by clicking the Publish

Mobile site or a Facebook site format, by clicking on the View your Mobile site
button or View your Facebook site respectively.
The Mobile and Facebook previews are available, even if they are not included in
your site package. These sites are generated automatically from the website
content and are very useful tools to promote your business.
You can upgrade the site package to include the mobile or Facebook sites in their
preview screens.
When you are done previewing these sites, click on Back to Site preview and then
close the preview screen by clicking the close button.
Building a Site
This chapter explains how to fill the webpages with your content, using the side
menus.
The page consists of 3 main parts:
1
Header area – Located at the top of all the pages on the website, and includes
the business logo image and text, the header image and the menu.
This area will display the same content for all the pages on the website.
Widgets cannot be added to this area.
2
Main Content area – This is where most of the work of your website will be
done. In this area you will add widgets and content using the left panel tabs.
Some templates include a repeated area, which displays its content (graphics,
text, etc.) in all the pages on the website (Useful for displaying business
opening hours, images and business contact details).
If you selected a multi-page template, you can move from one page to
another by clicking the relevant page link in the menu, located in the header
and footer areas.
3
Footer area – Located at the bottom of all pages and, like the Header area, it
also contains the pages menu. You can add social media buttons to the footer
(Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+) and you can also add text that you
want to be displayed in the footer of all the pages.
This area will display the same content for all the pages on the website.
Widgets cannot be added to this area.
Let's take a look at how to design a page from top to bottom.
