The Dashboard

The dashboard, or Main Menu, is the first page that you will see when you login. It gives you a glimpse of crucial information about your page, such as the wizard and the visitor traffic summary. It alerts you when any software updates are available. It even alerts about any sales on your site. You may always navigate back to the dashboard with the Main Menu link at the very top, left-hand corner of the menu items along the left of your screen.

The View Website and Help buttons are at the top right of the screen as well. These buttons are available throughout the website builder.

What Should I Do Next Wizard
The wizard is the first item you will see at the top of the page. Depending on the progess of your site, the wizard will guide you through the next steps that will make your site complete. It will guide you on tasks such as adding pages and menu items and uploading logo images. You are provided a link that directs you to the page that lets you complete the task. Click the link to complete each task.
