[Tutorial] Using Soholaunch Pro Edition

This is from the creators of Template Express which is also found in Fantastico, the difference with the pro edition is its like an online template/sitebuilder with a few neat features.

Installing Pro Edition

In Fantastico, scroll down to the category Site Builder and click on the link called Pro Edition.



On the overview page click on the new installation link to things started.



With the pro edition, not only can you only have ONE installation, but you can only create it on either your main domain or a sub domain. You cannot create a directory/folder like most scripts. So on the detail page you'll have to choose a domain/sub-domain to install on and your admin logins.



On the last installation page you are given the link to the admin area and are able to see what was created and configured for this process. You are also able to yourself or another the contents of this page, a plus for keep records.



Using Pro Edition

Click on the login link on the install page. Just a reminder, as said on the overview page, there are system requirements in order for the site builder to work and open on your computer. If need reminding, you can check out the links on the side of the login boxes. If all is good, fill in the details and lets continue.



Just in case you are brought to a blank window with some text in the middle, this means that your browser currently has pop-ads blockers enabled. Be sure to disable the blockers JUST for this website. After that refresh and it should work.



You'll have to agree or decline to their user agreement. Be sure to read it through and click agree when finished.



After that you will be taken to their site builder wizard, it helps if you've never used this script before, as it takes you step by step through everything. So you can either accept or decline it. For now lets accept it.



The next page is where you will choose a template to your liking. I'm sure in the end you will be able to change things around on how they look.



After that page, the next step is choosing the pages you'd like for your website, once again you are able to edit names and what not later on.



Last but not least, you will fill the name and main email address for your website.



Clicking on the submit button will take you to the control panel of the site builder. You will also see a little pop-up window congratulating you on creating your website with the site builder. Click on the OK button to have it close.



Before creating anything, after the congratz window, another window stating that you only have 14 days to use the advance features will show up. The advance features are located in the middle of the control panel. So for 14 days you will have access to them and may us them on your website as you wish.



On the control panel, the neatest features on it are located at the top of all other links.



You are able to view your website's Search Engine Rankings and also help them by filling in the details and generating meta tags.



Another neat feature is the site statistics where you are able to view all the stats about your website.



Be sure to see what it has to offer all around! Good luck.
