WHAT IS A WEBSITE AND HOW TO CREATE ONE?

Every day, there are huge opportunities via the Internet in the tumultuous world of

business. Sitting in front of the computer, besides your usual activities, you can launch a

successful online business by yourself, without investment or effort, in a somewhat short time.

The first step in starting a business on the net would be to create your website.

A website is a virtual space where you can post ideas, photos, videos, and can communicate

with other people. It is a mean of promoting and developing your business.

There are your thoughts to the entire world and the entire world can become a spectator.

The site can be anything you want it to be. There are sites of various kinds, and what makes

them so exciting is just full liberty without rules.

In few words, the site offers the opportunity to achieve information transfer through

successive posting. Visitors can leave links or you can submit their comments. You decide

whether or not to provide a right of reply.

Enables users to interact because the attributes of a site can be summarized in one word:

communication.

Whatever you have to say, the site is the ideal tool.

You can understand more quickly how a site is working simply by tying to create one.

What will happen next? Up to you. It depends on you, on your imagination, on how much

interested you are and know you disclose in order to start what could end up as a thrilling

adventure.

Mixxt platform is the best option. It's free, easy to set up and easy to manage.

But let's start and see how to create a website step by step with this platform

Step 1. CREATING A GMAIL ACCOUNT

First, in order to create a site, we need a prior e-mail account on Gmail platform. You

will use this account as own email address as well as to have access to the internal details of your

site.

Also in this account you will receive notification of comments from site visitors.

Moreover, gmail account creation will give you access to all the tools Google (Youtube, Docs,

Calendar), not just the e-mail and website!

A Gmail account can be created at https://accounts.google.com by pressing Create an

Account. After creating access button, you will be asked a series of information.

Page 3: Curs eng

In the example above, one creates [email protected] account, but you will

enter your data instead of the image. Steps to take are:

Begin by entering your name and surname;

Select the desired name for the account (which will appear in your address before

[email protected]). Check availability button you can find out whether your chosen name was

already taken by someone else (it is not allowed for two Gmail addresses to have the same

name);

Password desired must be typed twice for verification. On the right side you have an

indication whether you choose a strong password or weak (easily broken);

Box Enable web history can be checked if you want to register your business on the

Internet as long as you are connected to your Google account. This option brings a number of

benefits for easier finding previously visited pages or various recommendations;

For the cases when you forget your password, and you are required for another older

email address where it will be sent useful information for account recovery when you don't

manage to connect to it;

You are asked for location and birth date;

Also you need to recognize a word with distorted letters so Google can realize if you are a human user or a program able to automatically enter data.

Page 4: Curs eng

Finally, press the button to accept the takeover of data by Google, which will take you to

a confirmation page, if no errors occurred. Otherwise, the error is signaled (eg.,

Incorrectly typing the word deformed, or the old email address, password repetition).

With their account you can go to the platform mixxt, where you use your Gmail address

and password that you have chosen (recall, a Gmail account gives you access to the same

password for all online services offered by Google).

To create the site you must go through a few steps, think at the images below:

Step 2. CREATING A WEBSITE ON PLATFORM MIXXT

First you need to go to the home page www.mixxt.com →

http://smallcommunities.mixxt.com/

Type the word mixxt in the search field of Google.

You click on the first option from the list.

This will open the following page :

Page 5: Curs eng

At the top of the page, you can access information about the social platform mixxt about

modules and features, by clicking on the arrows located on the sides.

Below, you have the option Create Your Own Free Social Network that allows you to

create your own network, accessing the Start now button.

This will open a window that contains a form with several fields that must be completed as

shown below.

Under each field there is transparent information that will guide you step by step to

creating your site.

In building the site, following the model below, the fields will be adjusted after the need, the

profile, the imagination and creativity of each.

Page 6: Curs eng

Here you set your site title and address. The location is particularly important, as you will

communicate this to all who want to visit your site. In addition, the address has the same role as

name of a product or a company: it must represent you, to ensure that you will not be confused.

You have to remember, however, that address would end mandatory with the extension

mixxt (fields 1 and 2 of the form above).

Field 7 contains a list of features from which you can select those that you need in the

composition of the menu. There is no need to select them all from the beginning, they can add or

delete the process.

Page 7: Curs eng

In field 8 you can choose your desired template that can be modified for coloring and layout

according to your preference. If you have some knowledge of creating Web pages, you can

change any element of the template, but for most users this is not necessary, templates provided

are sufficiently diversified.

Selecting a suitable design for the site is very important because if the design does not impress,

the user will leave the site quickly. Design is the first impression that lasts less than a second, if

it is positive the user will remain on the site and if it is negative, regardless of the offer and the

products we offer, he will soon leave the site.

Once you have completed the process of creating the site (filling in), you'll be able to access

the site using your email account and password created using Google (gmail).

In order to do this, enter the platform mixxt. The top right is a button to login Login.

Page 8: Curs eng

Clicking this button will open a window - door you need to enter new website created.

In this regard, a window will open divided into two parts. We will complete the left side of the

window Sign in as:

We will introduce in the email and password fields, the gmail address and password

previously created after that we will access the Sign in button.

In the right side of Sign In button, we have the option Remember me. When you check

this option after you have entered the username and password, your account will remain logged

Page 9: Curs eng

in all the time. It is best to disable this option, especially if you use a computer with other

persons.

By clicking the Sign in button, this opens the antechamber of the site, which in the right, displays

the name of the newly created site - Click to Career.

We access the created site name by a click that will lead us to the dashboard from which we

access all the options for the construction of the site.

Construction / assembly of site

By accessing the option Edit your network, get to the administration page of the

website.

The administration panel consists of four windows: Network, Members Panel, Extract and Edit

network.

We all go through the four windows above, explaining the procedure of operation and use of the

characteristics in building the site.

Page 10: Curs eng

First window: Network comprises the following options: Details, Features, mixxt

Apps, Main page, Menu builder, Privacy, Profiles, Style, Pokomatic, News Feed and

Statistics.

First option Details gives details about the website set: title, subtitle, language and a brief

description. You can make changes to those fields.

language we want to edit the site. By accessing the right button of English it will open a list

from which you select the desired language.

Page 12: Curs eng

In the field Tags (keywords) you will type a word or short phrase that labels information on

website content or page, facilitating its retrieval by using the tool. You can add more tabs

(words) separated by commas. Words contain letters, numbers, spaces, and they written as a rule

in lowercase.

In these fields you can make changes anytime you want and will be saved by clicking the Save

button. To return to the previous window you have to access the back button located at the top

left or bottom of the window About your network.

Features - Enable appropriate features to your site: Blogs, Videos, Forums, Images,

Groups, Wiki, Events, Files, Content Management, News.

There is no need to add them all at the beginning. It is sufficient to select those which best define

By clicking on the Main page, a construction page will open where you can arrange and

rearrange, move and delete features, thus personalizing the main page of the site as needed, by

your creativity and imagination.

At this stage the site is pretty poor as options, but can be added the so-called gadgets, a

very diverse range of components that displays useful information such as links to blogs / partner

websites, images, videos, forums, chat, membership, traffic, etc.

The enrichment page of the site can be accessed with the option Main page available in

Admin panel window (Edit your network - Main page). It looks like the picture below and

represents the blog area divided into several compartments containing a number of predefined

components.

Page 15: Curs eng

The left side are the active components, which multiply by clicking the green crosshairs.

They can move anywhere, any place, any suitable position of the other three columns: left, center

and right by drag and drop, i.e. by fixing the cursor on one of its features and dragging to the

desired location.

This maneuver can be done at any time by adding or deleting components.

Holding the mouse pointer on each part to the right will display information about it.

Page 16: Curs eng

Deleting a component is done simple as well, setting the mouse cursor on the

corresponding rectangle on the right side of its features one can observe a smaller rectangle

formed by points. The mouse cursor will turn arrow-cross. In this moment we draw the rectangle

(the feature that is intended to be removed) to the bin located at the bottom.

Page 17: Curs eng

Depending on how these components are located and arranged so will show the main

page of the website - presentation page (Home).

moving or copying of blocks of data, showing the block on which it operates and then using the

mouse to drag the block to the new location (by holding down the left button of the mouse).

When you release the mouse button, the block outlined above appears on new location.
