Frequently
Asked Questions about using the Hoover Web Design Free Flash
Web Site Builder
Q. How much does it
cost to use your web Site Builder?
A. Nothing, our Flash
Site Builder is free for you to use.
Q. Why do I have to
register to use the Site Builder?
A. When the Site Builder
was first launched we let visitors use the builder without
registering. Many took advantage of this and used fake email
addresses to send their web site to. I guess they had nothing
better to do? Anyway, this resulted in hundred's of bounced
messages coming back to us, so now you need to confirm your
email first with a log-in id and password to use the Site
Builder. Your email address won't be distributed or used
for anything other than receiving your website.
Q. I didn't receive
a password or my web site in my email. What should I do?
A. Perhaps you typed
in an incorrect email address, your email address may be
too long or you are unable to receive email from our domain.
If this happens, use another email address.
Q. I forgot my login
password.
A. Contact
us.
Q. Do you have a step
by step tutorial on using the Flash Web Site Builder?
A. Yes. Click
here to view a short tutorial on using the Flash Builder.
We recommend you read through this before building your
web site.
Q. I didn't receive
all of the files in the zip file. Theme_x.swf is missing.
A. Theme_x.swf should
be theme_1.swf or theme_2.swf depending on whether you choose
to make a business website or a personal website.
Q. How do you create
a link?
A. Use the following
code to create external links :
<a href="http://www.hooverwebdesign.com">Hoover
Web Design</a>
Simply replace the hooverwebdesign.com
url with the url that you want to link to and replace Hoover
Web Design with the name of your link. You can add a line
break between links by using the <BR> tag or a paragraph
by using the <P> tag.
Q. I built my web site
with the Site Builder, now what?
A. Next you need to
upload your free flash website (this includes the text file
that you created named var.txt along with files received
in zip format to your email address) to your web host. A
web host is someone that you pay to have your website accessible
on the Internet. Think of a web host as a computer's hard
drive that allows everyone all over the World to view your
web site. Hoover Web Design offers web hosting and would
be happy to host your website for you. Click
here for details. After you have secured your web hosting
all you have to do is upload your web site to your web space.
You would need to check with your web host about how to
upload files to your web space. We recommend doing this
via FTP. After you have uploaded all of your files, just
view your website in your browser, like the example.
Q. How do I edit my
web site?
A. You don't need to
come back to Hoover Web Design to edit your web site. Simply
open the text file and make any changes to the text as you
would like. To edit the picture, simply replace the image
with your new image. The image must be the same dimensions.
Q. How many web sites
can I make with Hoover Web Design's Site Builder?
A. As many as you want.
If you like the Site Builder, we'd appreciate a link back
and that you tell a friend about it.
Q. Can I license a copy
of your Site Builder for use on my web site?

us to inquire.

website builder that offers more features.
