top level domain<\/a>, or another ending instead of .com.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNext, fill out all the appropriate personal details, including your plan, preferred billing cycle, username and password, payment method, and billing address. Then, press 'Confirm purchase.'\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make sure to write down your username and password. This is what you will use to login to the Gator Website Builder. HostGator will also email you your login credentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Login to the Gator Website Builder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Once you have signed up for hosting and have noted your login details, you\u2019re ready to build a memorial website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Return to the HostGator main page, and turn your attention to the top right menu bar. You\u2019ll see 'Sign In'\u009d on the top right of the menu bar. Hover your cursor over this menu option and choose 'Website Builder.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFrom here, you will enter your email address and password and log in to your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Select the 'Express'\u009d Website Builder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n On the next page, you have two different HostGator Website Builder options, Express and Traditional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Follow the steps to customize your design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n The Express Website Builder uses AI to build your website, and needs a bit of information up front to help you create the right type of website for your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the next page, simply tell HostGator what your website is about by typing in 'Memorial'\u009d into the category section, and pressing 'Continue.'\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\nOn the next page, you will have the option to name your website. I picked 'Memorial Site for John Doe'\u009d as an example. As you type in the name of the website, you\u2019ll see HostGator automatically fills in the name in the header.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen you\u2019ve finished naming your site, press 'Continue.'\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the next page, HostGator will prompt you to pick a cover image. You can use one of HostGator\u2019s images (provided by Unsplash), or you can upload an image of your own. A picture of the person you are honoring may be a good option in this situation. Once you have settled on a picture, press 'Continue.'\u009d <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe next page will ask you for a logo. If you are representing an organization or have a nice logo image, you can upload that image here. If not, you can just press 'Continue'\u009d and HostGator will disregard this step. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next page is where you select a font for your page. You can click through all the different options to preview what they would look like on your memorial site. Pick whichever one you like best, and press 'Continue.'\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe next page will let you pick a theme and color combination. As with the fonts, you can click through various options and decide which combinations you like best.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOnce you\u2019ve settled on a color scheme, press 'Continue.'\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next page provides different navigation styles. You can choose from top or left-hand navigation styles. Press 'Continue'\u009d when you\u2019ve found the perfect style.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe next page of the Express Website Builder will ask you to fill out relevant contact details.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen you\u2019ve completed all your contact details, press 'Finish.'\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you\u2019ve pressed 'Finish,'\u009d your website will have the basic information and a basic structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HostGator will also then take you to a more robust page where you can continue to build and customize your new website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Tour the advanced website builder options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n If this is your first time using the Express Website Builder, it\u2019s smart to take a quick tour of the software. HostGator will display a pop-up that shows you how to perform various functions in the website builder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All you have to do to get started is click on one of the relevant links, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Page overview<\/li> Add sections<\/li> Section layout & settings<\/li> Pages<\/li> Theme & settings<\/li> Selling online<\/li> Publishing & domains<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nYou also have the option to skip the tour completely and get to know the website builder yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To go through the whole tour, click 'Take a quick tour.'\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. Customize other important elements of your memorial website<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Once you\u2019ve completed the quick tour, you\u2019re ready to start customizing the rest of your website to fit your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What you end up customizing will depend on how you want your website to function and what you want it to look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here is a quick overview of some of the basic things you can do in the website builder. Remember, if you need help at any time, you can contact a member of the HostGator customer support team for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add or edit content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Adding or editing your website content is as easy as hovering your cursor over the area where you want to change the text and clicking. <\/p>\n\n\n\nFor example, when you get to this page, the generic heading will say something like 'Welcome to our website.'\u009d You could click on this and change it to something more appropriate like 'Remembering Jane Doe.'\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can change any text on your website, even the buttons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add a page<\/h3>\n\n\n\n If you would like to add additional pages to your memorial website, it\u2019s easy. All you have to do is turn your attention to the left sidebar menu, and click on 'Pages.'\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From here, click on 'New Page'\u009d at the bottom of the screen and fill out the page details.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOnce you have filled out all details, press 'Apply.'\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you have added your page, you can return to the main page. If you look at the top left screen of your page, you\u2019ll see a drop down that says 'Page.'\u009d From here, you can switch between your various website pages and customize them just like you would customize the home page.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCustomize your settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n The left menu also has an icon called 'Settings.'\u009d If you click on this button, you can customize a lot of information, including information about your site like the name, logo, favicon, SEO info, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019ve set up any social media accounts honoring your loved one, you can connect them under the 'social accounts'\u009d tab under the settings section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other things you can do include adding your Google Analytics tracking code, legal information, and adding HTML.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you\u2019ve customized your settings, press 'Apply'\u009d and the website builder will save your changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add a blog<\/h2>\n\n\n\n If you plan on doing any blogging, it\u2019s easy to add a blog. Simply press the 'Blog'\u009d button on the left navigation bar, and HostGator will add the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Blog section to your homepage<\/li> A Blog page to the navigation of your site<\/li> Blog management so you can write posts<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nOnce you\u2019ve added a blog, you can click 'Create post'\u009d and start writing. Once you\u2019re done with your post, click 'Publish blog now.'\u009d You can add as many blog posts as you want to your website at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Preview Your Memorial Website<\/h2>\n\n\n\n As you can see from the advanced website builder features, there are several other things you can customize on your website. What you end up changing will depend on how you want your website to look and what you want it to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you are done customizing your site, you can click on the 'Preview'\u009d button on the top right section of the screen to see what everything looks like. When you\u2019re satisfied, press 'Publish,'\u009d and your site will be live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
