Hi, I am new @ this web building stuff. I have own a domain and am using "NetObjects Fusion Essentials"
I don't know anything about accessing or posting my work to the site. Am I using the right software? Or is there something better and easier to use?
Thanx, WEB SITE DUMMY

Hi — good start. Thanks to , and for the initial tips. Below is a short, practical checklist and simple publish workflow so you can move from your local files to a live site with less guesswork.

  • Ask your host for the essentials: control-panel login, the exact folder where your site files must go (document root), nameserver values for your domain, email setup details, database availability and versions, upload limits, backup policy and support contacts, and whether they provide free SSL certificates.
  • Prepare your site locally: keep only the files you need (HTML/CSS/images), use a clear homepage filename, use relative links and simple filenames (lowercase, no spaces), and optimize images for page speed.
  • Publishing workflow: preview locally, then upload your prepared files to the host folder they told you. After publishing, test from another network (to avoid cached pages), verify email and any server-side features, and keep both a local and server copy as a backup.

If NetObjects feels limiting, consider a content-management system for easier content changes (for example, WordPress) or a hosted site-builder if you prefer not to manage server details. For free SSL options, look into LetsEncrypt. If you post your hosting control-panel name or the exact messages you see during publishing, folks here can give step‑by‑step help.

transfer your pages using ftp - it may be built in to your web design software, or it may require a separate ftp program.

Your hosting company should provide you with all your details, like your FTP details. You can try a program called WS_FTP LE to upload directly to your FTP site. It works better for me :)
