Do you want to find a way to put your horse website online for a reasonable price? How about having your horse site designed for free? Now you can. We now are offering your very own SEMS Design SiteBuilder when you sign up to have your equine related website hosted with us. What is a SiteBuilder you ask? It is a tool that will allow you to create your site from choosing from over 500 pre-made templates and all you have to do is drop in your image and change the content. It could not be any easier for the non-web designer to now create a website.

Here is how it works.

1) Select your desired site category

There really is no difference in the selection of any of the categories besides the pre-defined pages in each one. We have created it this way so you can have a head start on doing what you want to do – publish your website. Now that you know what category you are going to use, you will select the template.

2) Selecting the Template

This is where you get the chance to select from hundreds of templates to give your site the look you want it to have. When you are in this phase you will be doing 6-8 steps. Here they are:

Choose the category you want to browse for your theme template.
Once you are in a category you can then select a theme from inside that category. Each time you select a theme you will see a preview of the selected theme.
Select the color combination available for the theme.
Upload a banner to implement into the theme to give it the unique look you desire.
Upload your logo
Type in your Site Title and Subtitle along with a footer message.

This will give your site the basic look before moving on to step 3: Customizing the pages.

3) Customizing the Pages

Now that the theme is selected you will add the pages you want to have included in your website.

This is what is great about the SEMS Design SiteBuilder. Adding and deleting pages is easier then ever. Here is what needs to be done and it only takes 5 minutes max.

We have set up some Page Sets. These sets already have selected page names that we think would go with a category you selected in step 1.
Standard Pages are those that are defined in the Page Set. Once you select a Page Set you will select which pages you want and then simply click the arrow to move them to your Page Structure, #4.
If you want to add a common page that you can then rename, you will do this from #3.
This shows you the current pages you have in your site.
Once you have your pages you can then easily move them up and down, left and right.

You are just about done building your site. The hard part is done and now all you have to do is add your pictures and content.

4) Editing Your Web Pages

Now that the template has been selected and you have changed the banner, you can edit the content and the images you add to your website. Looking at the above image you will see that in this step there are 4 areas to work with:

#1 shows the pages you selected from the previous step. Selecting any of these will show the page so you can edit the content and insert images.
#2 is your editor. This allows you to markup all of your page with text, links, images, etc.
#3 is for your search engine optimization. Here you will type in the page title, the keywords for the page and the page description. This is for the search engine spiders to index your page in the proper place in the search engines.
#4 is the actual page. This is where you can do all of your editing and see how it will look.

You are now done. That was not that hard at all. Once you have finished editing your pages you will click the next button on the bottom, or the Publish button on top.

5) Publish Your Website

If you are trying our SiteBuilder for free, you will see a link to your published site. The site will be available to preview for 14 days. After that you will need to sign up with us for web hosting for the site to stay active.

Done!! If you are in the mood to try your hand at building your website, this is the tool for you. As time goes on we will be making the process even easier by adding templates that are strictly for the horse world. Stay tuned on that. For now, sit back, roll up your sleeves and have some fun.
