Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Easy Website Builder so much easier than other web building tools?
In order to make even a small change with traditional web building tools, you need to locate the saved file on your computer, make the with a desktop editor, upload the page to your server with an FTP program, then manually go through the entire site and re-link any links that may have been affected. With Easy Website Builder, the website IS the web editing software. To make a change you just click the edit button, make the change, and click save. We built this entire 80+ page site with Easy Website Builder. To try it for yourself, go to: http://ewbdemo.ngenuitysolutions.com. Login with the username: demoadmin and the password: admin.
We have a website but don't have anyone to make any changes. How can we make our site work with Easy Website Builder?
This is probably the most common question we hear. This is accomplished by copying and pasting your text from your current website, into the new site. Transferring text content literally takes just a few minutes. If you want your site to have the same look, we can create a template for you that matches your current one. If you want a completely different look, you can accomplish this also.
I don't want my current website to be down while I'm building my new one.
Your current site won't need to be down while you are building your new one. Most people purchase a secondary domain name - usually their current domain but with a different extention (.org, .com, .net). Your new website and hosting are tied to your secondary domain name. When your new site is ready, your orignial domain name can be set to "point" to the new site. Visotrs will now be able to reach your site if they type either extention. You can see an example of this with Craigslist. Whether you type craigslist.com or craigslist.org, you will end up at the same place.
Do I need to continue paying for hosting on my old site?
You won't need to continue paying for hosting on your old site but you will want to keep your domain name current. When you are finished building and your domain names are pointing to the new site, your new site will become your primary site.
