Now that your domain is validated, you will be redirected to the Checkout page. Here's what to do:

1. Fill in all required fields with your personal details, including your name, contact information, and billing address.
2. Ensure that you use a valid email address and set a password that you can easily remember. You will need these credentials in the next step.
3. After filling in all the information correctly, click Complete Order to finalize the process.

1. Go to the following link: https://sinosoft.guru/clientarea.
2. On the login page, enter the Email address and password you used when making your domain order.

Step 6: Accessing the Site Builder from the Client Area

1. After logging in, you will see a box labelled Active for your Site Builder Free trial service.
2. Click on View Details to open the service details page.
3. From there, click Login to Site Builder to access the Site Builder interface.
4. You will then be redirected to the Site Builder templates, where you can start selecting and customizing your website design.

Step 7: Selecting a Site Builder Template

After being redirected to the Site Builder Templates page, you can choose from a variety of professionally designed templates to begin building your website. Here’s how to proceed:

1. Browse through the templates to find one that aligns with your website's purpose and design needs.
2. If you prefer a more hands-on approach, you can scroll to the bottom of the template gallery and select a blank template. This option allows you to build your website from scratch by dragging blocks and elements (such as images, text, and forms) from the library of ready-made items onto placeholders.

Choosing the Right Template

When selecting a template, keep these points in mind:

• Purpose: Ensure that the template suits the overall purpose and design theme of your website (e.g., e-commerce, portfolio, blog).
• Commitment: You cannot switch templates once you start building your site in the Site Editor, so choose carefully.
• Pre-built content: Each template (except the blank one) comes with a basic set of professionally designed pages, or at least one scrollable page, containing sample content such as text, images, forms, and videos, which you can easily replace with your own.

Step 8: Choosing the Fashion Template

For this guide, let’s choose the Fashion Template as an example. Here’s how to proceed:

1. Scroll through the template gallery and locate the Fashion Template.
2. Click on the Fashion Template to preview it. Review the design to ensure it fits the vision and purpose of your website.

Step 9: Finalizing Your Template Selection

Once you’re satisfied with the Fashion Template, follow these steps to proceed:

1. Click on Select or Use this Template to continue.
2. Most templates offer two versions: Multi-Page and Single-Page. Choose the version that best fits your needs:
• Multi-Page: Ideal for websites that require multiple pages (e.g., Home, About, Contact).
• Single-Page: Suitable for simpler websites that present all information on a single scrollable page.
3. After making your selection, click on CREATE THIS SITE to finalize your choice.

Once you’ve completed this step, you’ll be redirected to the Site Editor, where you can begin customizing the template’s content with your own text, images, buttons and other elements.

Step 10: Finally Publish Your Site

Once you’ve customized your site to your liking, it’s time to publish it:

1. In the Site Editor, review all the changes and ensure that your content is complete and visually appealing.

2. When you’re ready to make your website live, look for the Publish button, typically located in the top-right corner of the editor. However, to make your website publicly accessible, you’ll need a Custom Domain   , Hosting Package and a Site Builder package. These give you full privileges to publish your site beyond the free trial.

3. The Site Builder offers you the freedom to work on your designs until you create a website you’re truly satisfied with. However, it does come with limitations if you don’t purchase a package. Without upgrading, you may miss out on some of the more contemporary features. If you’re in search of free options that provide essential design capabilities, consider learning about Sino Soft Weebly. While its features may be less comprehensive than those of Site Builder, they come in a free package that allows you to access useful tools right out of the box.

Congratulations! Your website is now live and accessible to visitors. You can continue making updates and adjustments as needed.
