Web Site Building 101

Monday, August 22 2011 13:40

One World Hosting offers three broad categories of server-based web site builders - tools that can help you create and manage your site pages.  We definitely support sites developed in all of the most popular site editor tools, like Dreamweaver, CoffeeCup, Coda, etc. But if you aren't ready to spend a lot of money on a piece of software, or just want to work from anywhere on your site as needed, we can help.  The categories are:

  1. File Manager tools

    Every account control panel offers a tool called the File Manager which makes it very easy for you to create and edit your HTML pages in WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get). Follow the simple steps below to edit your html pages right from your hosting control panel.

    - Login to your cPanel (from your Client Area, or direct via yoursite.com/cpanel)
    - Click on File Manager
    - Go to the file you want to edit and then right click on it. Then click HTML Editor
    - HTML editor opens in your browser with which you can edit and preview and then save from the top left icon.
    - After you click save, it will be published on your website. It’s that simple!

    There is also a "Code Editor" option if you want to work with code only.  Take a look at this video tutorial, also available in your control panel at the top under "Video Tutorials".


  2. RVSiteBuilder

    RVSiteBuilder is a powerful template-based web site builder which is also free to every One World client.  The tool provides over 700 different professional templates from which you can choose and then build your site "from within" the application.  Not every server has RVSB by default, but it's available to every customer - if your account control panel does not have the RVSB icon, just Open a Ticket.  To learn more about RVSiteBuilder, visit Site Building with Templates: RVSiteBuilder.


  3. Softaculous site tools

    Softaculous is our miracle "anything you can imagine" source for one-click installed tools for your site.  Among the tools that are often used to build entire web sites are: Wordpress, Joomla (One World Hosting is a Joomla site), phpBB, Drupal, and Dolphin, just to name a few.  Click, install and go!  To learn more, read our Softaculous page.
