Manage Your Account
Preview Accounts
If you selected a Web Designer Account when you initially signed up, you have ability to create
Preview Accounts, which are demonstration websites that can be transferred in working order to
new customers. An additional tab will be available to you from the main
Account
Administration
page, called
Preview Accts.
Clicking this tab will take you to the page shown above. This page
works very similarly to the E-mail Administration section, if you're already familiar with that.
To add a preview account,
press the
New Account
button. You will be prompted to name the
account, and the name will be a subdomain of your current domain, such as
subdomain.yourdomain.com. Enter a name and press
Save.
Now that you've set up a preview account, you can edit the site by selecting
Preview Site Editor
from the
Preview Accts
toolbar. The preview site will be started with a basic no-frills theme, but
you can change it or do anything else you can do in the Site Editor. See the section called
Changing the Theme
on page 16 and the module
Create Your Own Theme
on page 31. Once
you finish editing and are satisfied with the site, select
Publish My Site
and it will be visible to the
world. To see the site, just enter the same name.yourdomain.com you specified above. The site
will be visible for 48 hours.
If someone for whom you made the preview site is interested in signing up with us, he or she
would go through our normal signup process. Then you would select
Transfer to Client
from the
Preview Accts
administration page, specify the domain name of the new account the person
