Building a website at Wealthy Affiliate is very easy. In this video I walk you through the process of setting up FREE websites here at Wealthy Affiliate. It really does only take 3 simple steps.
As a Starter member you get TWO free Wordpress sites on the SiteRubix.com domain, as a Premium member you get unlimited free website as well as the ability to host unlimited domains that you actually own.
Here are a few things that are covered within this video:
(1) What is included in the SiteManager area
(2) How to choose your domain name
(3) How to choose a website name
(4) How to choose a theme and what to look for
(5) How to access your administration details
(6) The differences between Starter websites and Premium
(7) The various aspects of the SiteRubix platform
If you have any questions about creating websites here at WA, please do let me know and I will be more than happy to give you a hand. :)
1. When i am updating / creating my website can i edit/view/edit/view etc etc without it going live (i.e preview the site off line so to speak) as i will probably changing a lot till i get it looking and flowing correctly?
2. Lets say i start with siterubix for a month or two and i have traffic/subscrbers/customers etc. will they automatically be directed to my new domain name at dot com? i know the change over will be seamless but i just want to know if i will have to tell them all or if the links that they use will automatically change (hope it makes sense)?
3. God forbid and i dont think there is a hope in hells chance of my next question happening but it did cross my mind.....what happens to my website and content etc.......if the hosting part of WA was to ever disappear? there i said it ....SORRY but i had to ask......
Cheers!
I am not good at writing so how do I get my content on my website??
I am intending to build/improve websites for other people. The other “person” may or may not have an existing domain and they may have the site hosted by another provider. In the case where the other person already has a domain name and a hosting server things become complicated.
My ideas on approaching this would be to:
1. build and test the site initially on siteRubix;
2. point their domain name to the SiteRubix hosting service;
3. do the SEO work to finalise the content and increase rankings;
4. ftp the WP files over to the third party’s server;
5. delete the site from SiteRubix.
a) Is this what people normally do?
b) Can you see any flaws in this approach?
c) Presumably, there is no point in doing any SEO work whilst the site is a subdomain of SiteRubix?
d) Is it ok to do the SEO work whilst the server is SiteRubix (assuming the domain is pointing to the SiteRubix server?
e) Can everything be bundled up on SiteRubix and ftp’d to the other person’s server?
Sorry to ask so many questions but it all seems so simple if you are just setting up your own website. When it comes to other peoples, everything gets a little bit more hairy.
