[edit] Overview

Your ZebraDots Website is built around an intuitive management interface that brings all the aspects of website management under one simple menu. When you log in to this menu, you will be able to access all the areas of your website to control content, appearance, behavior, products, user accounts, backups, passwords, and much more.

[edit] Logging In

In the steps below you will need to REPLACE ALL INSTANCES OF "YOURDOMAIN.COM" with your ACTUAL DOMAIN NAME. You cannot simply click on the links below.

To open the Website Manager, visit your website's domain name followed by "/manager", like this:

If you are hosting with ZebraDots and you have NOT configured your DNS servers to point to ours yet, please visit http://YOURDOMAIN.COM.sites.zebradots.com first, and print the page.

Obviously, you will need to replace "YOURDOMAIN.COM" with your actual domain name. (Please note that your domain name has to be registered and pointed to our nameservers before you can access your site by its domain name. See Setting Up Your Domain Name for more information.)

When you attempt to open the Website Manager, you will be prompted to log in for security. The prompt will look similar to this, depending on the browser you are using:

Entering your admin password
Entering your admin password

Enter the username admin and the password you set when you created the account.

[edit] The Main Menu

Once logged in, you will see the Main Menu:
