Choose and customize a template. There are usually several different templates available free of charge. These templates are separated in categories according to the type of business that you are conducting or the type of website you are creating for your personal needs. These templates are easily rearranged and customized, most often by a drag-and-drop system that allows you to rotate and add images and text to your pages with the click of a mouse button. Enter information like headings, pictures, captions and text for the allowed number of pages that you'll need for your site. Once you have completed your website follow the specific instructions on how to save, upload and go live with your website.
