Creating Your First Website With Soho Launch Pro Edition

Soho Launch is a nice website builder that allows anyone to build a website no matter the level of expertise they have. Most of the time you can get it for free with some web hosting companies such as HostPapa.

Earlier this week I’ve shown you How To Install Soho Launch Pro Edition On HostPapa so this time we’ll take a quick tour into this great website builder so you can see how to setup your first website.

So assuming you have installed Soho Launch correctly, it should now be accessible at http://www.yourdomain.com/sohoadmin. Soho Launch will popup a new window and you will be prompted to enter your username and password.

To make this as easy as possible, we’re going to use the wizard to build our first website so hit the green button that says “Start Wizard”.

On the next screen you will to choose a template for your website. For this tutorial, we’ll be using the “Curvy Neighborhood (Orange)” template from the “Real Estate” category. Once you’ve clicked on the desired template, you will be brought with a list of available pages for your website. We’ll select Services, About Us, News, Contact Us and Support. Hit Next when you’re done.

Finally on the last page of the wizard, you will be prompted to enter your website’s name and your email address. That’s it, you’re ready to fill the pages of your website!

At this point you should now seeing Soho Launch’s main menu. Click on the blue “Edit Page(s)” button at the top. This will bring you a list of all the pages created for your website. Simply click on the “Edit” button next to the page you want to modify.

You will now see a grid containing all the objects from your web page (actually there should be only one object). Click on the object to launch the editor. You will be prompted to choose between the basic or advanced editor. We’ll just use the basic editor for this tutorial.

A new window will popup, bringing you with a nice and clean web page editor. I won’t go into details about using the editor, it’s pretty much like using a word processor. So go ahead, edit your page and hit the “Save” button when you’re done.

But wait! You’re not over yet! Don’t forget to click on the green “Save Page” button at the top! Now open a new browser window and visit your website. You should now see your brand new website with the changes you’ve made to your web pages!

Of course this is a very basic tutorial, but hey you gotta start somewhere! There’s so much more to Soho Launch than creating basic websites. You can add web forms, photo albums, newsletters, a shopping cart, online transactions, change your website template and lots more.
