What do I need in order to make a "Sites In Seconds" web site?
All you need is a computer, Web browser, and access to the Internet. You may also want to consider content and pictures you'd like to add to your site, although you can come back and edit as much as you'd like once your site has been created. The editing process never ends as long as you have changes you'd like to make.
How long does it take to setup my web site?
Your professionally designed web site can be setup in less than a minute! You merely fill in the form at the top of this page. As you accumulate the information to "fill out" your site, just log in and enter it as you have the time. It's a very stress-free process, rather than having a designer asking for information to put into your site, you put it in at your leisure. What could be simpler! Once you're happy with your new site, you can still come back and edit as much as you want.
Do I need HTML or design experience?
No. Sites In Seconds offers an easy to use service that allows anyone, of any experience level, to create and manage a professional web site. All you need is your browser and an Internet connection! You merely provide the information you'd have to provide anyway- no one knows your business better than you. So, rather than typing it into an email to send to a designer, you type it right onto the pages yourself. And if you ever run into any problems, contact us for assistance.

What features are included with a "Sites In Seconds" web site?
Each of our web sites offers the following features:
- Contact page that is automatically created using registration information.
- Links page that will automatically be created if any URLs are entered.
- External links. Just type an address into one of the external links and it will appear on your website's menu.
- Five custom pages to use as you see fit. Each of these pages allows room for one picture.
- Several "placeholder" designs to choose from, to provide an attractive working environment while setting up, trying out and showing off your new site. We will create custom graphics to make the site uniquely yours on receipt of your pictures and information.
Can I add pictures to my web site?
Yes. You may upload one picture to each of the custom pages you have available.
Uploading pictures to the custom pages:
- Try to keep file names short, using only letters and numbers… no spaces! If your picture does not appear, it is most likely the file name was not read. Contact us for help if you are getting uneven results.
- Keep pictures small if possible (within 150-250 pixels wide will fit nicely). The wider pictures get, the less room you will have for body text.
- If you would like a page with only an image, no text, your picture can be up to 400 pixels wide without creating negative effects on the site design. However, keep in mind that if you decide to add body text later, you will have to upload a smaller image to make room on the page.
How long will it take before other people can view my site on the Web?
Your web site can be viewed immediately! Simply use the address assigned to you when you created your site. However, your site will not automatically appear in search engines. Whether you choose to use your default "Sites In Seconds" URL or your own domain name, you will need to register your web site with search engines before others will be able to search for your site using a search engine. There are several suggestions to get you started with the search engines on our Search page. The addresses for some of the most important engines is on our Links page.
How do I get my web site to show up on search engines?
Check out our Search Engine Submission tips. Here, you will find useful information about the major search engines and links to their submission pages in order to get started. You can also contact us if you need further assistance.
How do I get my domain name pointed to my new site?
Simply login to your domain registrar and enter our DNS in the nameservers boxes. They are dns.sitesinseconds.com and dns2.sitesinseconds.com. The notify us so that we can update our nameservers to help the rest of the Internet find you. Note that you will not want to point to our servers until you've actually purchased your site from us as it does not enter our DNS until that point. Any questions, please contact us.
