Getting Started with your own Website

It should not take you more than half an hour to have a basic website up and running on the web. A little more time invested and you will be able to present an appealing and professional-looking website including a webshop, if you like.

Below is a simple step-by-step guide of the minimum requirements for registering and creating your own website.

Note! In the program the term 'website' usually refers to your entire website. Websites can also contain a webshop, which where you offer your products to your customers to buy via the Internet.

How to register your website and get it onto the web

Select View - E-Commerce - Edit Website.
Click New to create your own website and select a name for it.
Register website and follow the wizard helping you to create an address for the website and to register it on the Mamut server.

You can now open your web browser, e.g. Internet Explorer, and go to the address you registered.

Editing content on your website

Once you have registered your website you can start to customise and edit the content you would like to fill your website with. The editing takes place in the Edit Website module, which you will find by going to View - E-Commerce - Edit Website. The module is built in the form of a wizard taking you from one window to another by clicking Next. This guides you through all the tabs where you are able to register information. You can also go to the About the Company, Content, Webshop and Design template tabs and their respective sub-tabs directly.
