Website Tonight Video Tour by NerdWarehouse.com (early 2009)

Thanks for checking out this Show Me Around Actioncast. In this Actioncast, we’ll look at Website Tonight, an Internet based, do-it-yourself Web site creation tool. With Website Tonight, you can easily build a professional-looking Web site, regardless of your level and experience.

When you log in to your Website Tonight account, you’re first taken to the Home Page, where we offer a number of ways to manage your site. In the Site Information section you can: view and edit basic site information and your template, upgrade your account, or edit a specific page you’ve created. The Get Started section let’s you add and design your site pages or add other elements to your site, such as files and images, a forum, guestbook, or Flash intro. You can even connect your Web site to your online store if you have one. You can also access various Tools and Resources, to help manage different elements of your site. We’ve even added help and New Features sections, so you ca view articles on frequently asked questions and check out our latest improvements to Website Tonight.

To build your Web pages, from the Design menu, select “Launch Page Designer.” The Page Design toolbar contains options to modify text (with all the standard formatting options), change layouts, add and delete pages, and insert various items into your page. The toolbar updates based on your selection in the content blocks in the WYSIWYG (“What You See Is What You Get”) portion of the page. For example, if I click a new content block, I get one set of options; if I click and image in a block, I get different options in the Options tab.

Editing your site is as simple as clicking content blocks and making your changes. After clicking a content block to edit, simply begin typing to enter or modify text. From the insert tab at the top of the screen, you can insert a single image or an entire image collection and other items, including movies, Flash, music, calendars, RSS feeds, Widgets, tables, forms, scripts, you name it.

Website Tonight offers many features to help you design a robust Web site that fits your needs and impresses your family, friends, and clients. We encourage you to work with WebSite Tonight to see how it can best work for you. If you need any assistance, you can access the Help Center by clicking Help in the upper right corner, or by calling Nerd Warehouse at (480) 624-2500 – open 24 / 7 / 365.

Thanks for watching.

Getting Started with Website Tonight With WebSite Tonight you can get your own website up and running using either a pre-built template or you can customize one to fit your personal needs.

Choose your favorites from these or select from the high quality Fotolia images at around $1 each for unlimited personal or business use.

Designing Your WebSite Tonight WebSite Tonight works a lot like Microsoft Word. You can highlight, underline and italicize text, create numbered lists, create bulleted lists, insert hyperlinks – you name it. You can even insert HTML directly if you know a little or have a code that was given to you for your site.

Inserting Design Elements Just because WebSite Tonight is easy doesn’t mean that it can’t do what more expensive and more complicated web builders can do. Using WebSite Tonight’s Insert tool bar you have the option to embed videos and music, add Flash animations and RSS feeds, make text scroll, showoff with a hit counter, and even incorporate JavaScript if you want to.

Choosing Your Website Layout WebSite Tonight lets you pick from a variety of webpage layouts. When you choose a layout from the dozens available all of your text and images are automatically moved into the new setup for you. Don’t like the new layout? Not a problem, you can change back or find a new layout with just a few clicks of your mouse. WebSite Tonight makes it super easy.

Customizing Colors in WebSite Tonight The slick color picker in WebSite Tonight lets you quickly swap the color of the title, text, links, etc. You can use the preselected colors from the color palette or put in an exact color code if you already have one. Once you have selected your colors you can fine tune them by adjusting the hue, saturation, and value to give your website a look and feel that is unique.

Adding a Contact Form to Your WebSite Tonight Collect info on your website from your customers and other site visitors and have it delivered directly to your email.

Optimizing WebSite Tonight for Search Engines WebSite Tonight is fully integrated with Google Webmaster Tools. After you’ve built your website Google Webmaster Tools will create a sitemap for you, analyze your website, give you important information about your website (like common keywords and phrases people searched that led them to your website) and even recommend changes to increase your search engine rankings.
