HOW IT WORKS
Getting your small business online and accepting sales is fast and easy —
just follow the few steps listed below.
Select the look of your website
Scroll through the library of theme (style) templates and choose the theme that
best matches the overall look you'd like for your site. After selecting a theme,
all of the pages of your site take on the look of the theme. You can change the
theme at any time.
The following short video illustrates how you change your website's theme.

Add your products
If you're selling shippable products, you add your products by filling out a short
form. Simply enter a product title, description, and price, and your product will
be listed on your website, ready for customers to order.
The following short video demonstrates how you add a product to your website.

If you're selling downloadable files, you add each item in the same way that you
add a shippable product — enter a title, description, and price. Then, there's
just one more step — click the Browse button to choose from your
computer the file you want to sell. Your work is finished — your downloadable
item will now be listed on your website where customers can purchase and download
it.
Customize your website
Your website includes several pre-defined, formatted built-in pages, such as a Contact
Us page to list your contact information, a Testimonials page
to list customer testimonials, and many other pages. If a page doesn't apply to
your website, just uncheck it and it's gone (you can restore the page at any time).
Not satisfied with the name of the page? Rename it.
The powerful MadBeeTech website builder allows you to customize your website in
a wide variety of ways. The following are a few other things you can do to make
fast, easy changes to your site.
Every page of your website displays a header at the top of the page. Most website
builders allow you to enter the text that appears in the header. And most website
builders then display that text in a rather generic, or even ugly, manner. The MadBeeTech
website builder lets you apply a variety of formatting options to the header text.
The following are a few examples of how you can change the text, and look of the
text, that appears in your site's header (the text color and header background color
will be set to match the theme you've selected for your site).
If you're graphically inclined you can create your own header file (with Photoshop
or Paint or any other program) and with a click on an Upload button use
that file as your website's header.
If you'd like to promote some news, or an event, about your business, you can optionally
create any number of News & Events items to prominently display on your
site's home page.
If you've opted to display News & Events items, a visitor to your site
sees the item or items. If you've supplied extra information for an event, then
a More Info link appears by the item. Clicking on the click displays a
pop-up window with the event details.
These are just a few of the many customization options available to you —
the website builder supplies you with a wealth of features to enhance your site.
And of course, you have the option of using as few or as many of the features as
you want.
