Site FAQ
Our Freesite system is a comprehensive do-it-yourself web site tool, which allows you to build your own website from scratch, all for free.
Basically, it works like this:
- You request the Freesite package by filling out the form
- We register your domain name and set up hosting for you
- We install the Freesite system under your domain name
- You start creating your site.
It's that easy!
There will be two areas to your website.
1. The public area - that's what everyone will see and is basically 'your website'
2. The admin area - a password protected 'engine room' where you can completely control the content and look/design of your entire site. It includes features such as:
- upload your logo and other images
- create new pages (links will be automatically created and added to the navigation
- re-order your site links
- specify site settings, such as email addresses
- view site statistics
- change templates any time from a growing collection of styles and colour schemes within styles
- Q: Will my site be search engine friendly?
A: Yes, You will be able to specify keywords and a description which will be used in the meta tags for each page, and for Google, your keywords will also be placed into the page titles.
- Q: Is it easy to use? I'm not good with design and I don't know any HTML at all!
A: Yes, we have made it virtually foolproof. The system helps you create, save, and edit your website pages. The editing interface uses the same buttons that you would find in Microsoft Word, so using it is a breeze. (Just don't paste content from another website or from Microsof Word, as that will incluide hidden formatting that can make a mess of your page, and even prevent it from saving.)

Each mailbox has a 10 MB capacity, and you are able to check these mailboxes via webmail at mediatwo.com.au/clientsuite-webmail.php.
