You could get an editor such as Dreamweaver or CuteSITE Builder. Or learn to write HTML.

As I understand from this you use CuteSite Builder (CSB)? If so click Configure website and follow the wizard. Then Click Publish website with the info provided here, but skip the part "Note: it will be necessary to first manually delete the default index.html file that TCH places in your web directory. You may do this by going to http://example.net/cPanel. It should not be needed.

 

Let me know if you use CSB and have problems.

thanks thomas yes it is the cute builder i have done everything but where on the cpanel is the default index at?? i looked under index manager and did not see anything like that at all....is it somewhere else if so where thanks again

I´m not sure I understand but if I do...

 

When you have created your site in CSB you will automatically have a page named index.htm. When you publish your site the default indexpage will be overwritten.

So there is no index page you should need to delete manually. If your CSB works correctly it will replace the indexpage.

[TCH-Thomas]

Addition,

 

If this index.html does not get automatically overwritten you will need to either delete it through a ftp client (can´t give instruction about since all works differently) or through cpanel.

If through cpanel, please do this;

 

1) Log in to yourtchsite.com/cpanel

2) Click on tab "file manager"

3) Locate public_html directory

4) Click the icon next to it (Do not click the underline)

5) Locate index.html

6) Click the line under index.html

7) To you right you should see several options, please click delete

8) Log out of everything

9) Republish site

10) All should be working.

 

Hope this helps

No problem. Just glad I could help.

 

As for updating it, now you just use CSB as usual and all updates should be visible right away.

how do i update it?

 

Just make changes to the design file and publish again. Only the pages with the changes will be uploaded to your website. Fast, easy.

 

There is also a CSB specific discussion board on the globalscape website.
