Step 1
Launch your web browser. The browser must be standards-compliant and the most recent version released by the browser developer. Examples include Microsoft Internet Explorer (Windows PCs), Apple Safari (Macs) and Mozilla Firefox (PCs and Macs).
-
Step 2
Navigate to the official BlueHost website (see Resources). Enter your domain name (e.g., yourname.com) and password into the login box in the top right-hand side of the window and click "Control Panel Login". The BlueHost control panel will now appear, allowing you to access your various site and domain management tools.
-
Step 3
Click the "PageWizard" icon in the BlueHost menu entitled "Software/Services". The icon looks like two overlapping gray squares. A window will launch. Type the name of your new project and press the "Click Here to Start" button. A dialog box will pop up, giving you the chance to either start a blank site or start a template site.
-
Step 4
Press "Start Website from Template" if you would like to build a web page on BlueHost using one of its professional templates. Alternatively, click "Start Blank Website" if you are familiar with hypertext markup language (HTML) and want to write the site code yourself.
-
Step 5
Name the web page you are building. If this is the first web page you are creating, you are required to name it "index". If this is not the first web page on your BlueHost account, you may name it anything.
-
Step 6
Build the site. If creating it from a template, choose a template and drag each of the template's boxes around to rearrange your web page and customize its layout. Click in each customizable box and enter text or upload pictures from your computer. If you are creating a blank web page, enter the HTML you wish to use.
-
Step 7
Click "Save". BlueHost will build the site using the customized template or HTML that you created and publish it to your domain name. You can see your results by navigating your web browser to your domain.
