How to Build a Website With AT&T Web Hosting

With AT&T web hosting, you can operate your e-commerce site at a low price. When you build a website with AT&T web hosting, you can select your own domain name, activate multiple email addresses, accept e-commerce transactions and access the company's easy-to-use web building tools. If you choose not to design your own website, you can also hire the AT&T web design team to perform this service for you.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Select the type of AT&T web hosting service that you want to use and sign up through their website (see Resources). You will need to choose web hosting for either the UNIX or Windows operating system.

2. Complete the registration to access the EasySite Website Design Tool provided through AT&T. You will first run the installation wizard to get started with the program.

3. Change the template with the template editor tool. You can select a different template from the menu of choices without the need to put in HTML coding. You can also use the layering tool to adjust the positions of your web pages.

4. Use the form editor tool to put in any type of form element, including text fields, text areas, button groups, check boxes and drop-down lists.

5. Embed images and add popup images to the embedded images with the page editor tool. The style editor tool allows you to make adjustments to the style of your pages by adjusting the colors.

6. Build your e-commerce system with the available tools through AT&T web hosting. You can set up your shopping cart and checkout system as well as automatically generate shopping thumbnails.

7. Save all of your changes. AT&T will back up your website design to ensure that your adjustments are recorded. Once you feel it is ready to go live, you can select the publishing option.
