Thinking of using ControlYourWebsite?
Read these questions if you do not yet have an account with us and have not yet tried building your own website using our system.
Who owns the finished website?
You do! A farmer owns his crops, even if he hires equipment to harvest them! It's the same with ControlYourWebsite.co.uk. You use our system to create and look after your website, but the end result is yours i.e. you own the copyright to your images, wording, etc...
What are the hidden costs, if any?
Other than the hosting charge, there may be a small charge of a domain name, usually £29.99 for a 2 year registration (.com, .net, .co.uk, .org). That is the minimum requirement to get your website online.
You claim to be search engine optimised, but how are you?
Minimal markup has been used for the design of the website and correct markup is used or formating such as headings (correct h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 tags are used). Important keywords are included in the browser title as well as in the web address itself by using powerfull URL rewriting techniques. This all helps to emphasise your keywords and get you higher in search engine results.
You're a business, but how do you survive on £19.99 a month?
This works with large quantities of customers using the service which then pays to keep the system online, pays hosting costs, and pays for continued updates to the system which benefit all the customers.
Are there any contracts?
Please read our Payment Terms for more information.

How do i add/change images on my web pages?
Visit the page you want to add/change an image to. Click on the image or position the cursor where you want the image to be placed (the best place is at the start of a paragraph). Then in the editor, move your mouse cursor over the icons until you see one that looks like a little picture (leave your cursor over it for a second or two to see a little explaination of what it is - it should say "Insert Image"). Click the icon, then a window should load up, click "upload" in the top right corner of the window, click "browse", find the image you want to upload, click "upload", once completed, click "cancel". There should then be a little preview of the picture you just uploaded. If not, repeat this again. If there is, click the image. This will then insert the image on your page, or replace a selected one. You can then click the image, and resize it by dragging the little boxes around it. Click "Save Changes" and it is all done!
How do i add Google Analytics?
Make sure you are in "Mode: Website Builder - Intermediate" or higher user mode located in the drop down box in the top left of the page. Then click "Settings" in the top right of the page, then click "Traffic Analytics". Follow the instructions from there....
How do i add links to a page?
Edit a paragraph on a page, then highlight the text or select an image that you want to turn in to a link. Then click the little picture of 3 chain links in the editor (hover the mouse over it and it should say "Insert/Edit Link"). Click it. Then in the Link URL type: http://google.com/ and you may want to change the "target" so that it opens in a new window when it is clicked on. Click "insert" and "Save Changes" and your done!
How do i change my domain names "nameservers"?
Contact who ever you registered your domain name with, or if possible login to their control panel. You are looking for a page called "nameservers" or anything saying that! Click it, and change them to NS.SOURCEDNS.COM and NS1.SOURCEDNS.COM
If you get stuck, contact who ever you registered the domain name with and ask them to change the nameservers for you.
Putting a page inside a page (related pages)?
When you are on the "Mode: Website Builder - Intermediate" user mode, click a page on your website that you want to add a page to (like in a drop down list), and then scroll to the bottom and click "Create Related Page"... then just create the page as normal.
One minute i can do something, then i can't (user modes)?
Changing the user modes located in the top left of the page will hide and unhide things from you to make the interface easier to understand and use. You can switch from mode to mode when ever you want.
