Here are the general steps to build and publish your website:

  2. Select Web Hosting from the top navigation bar.
  3. Next, select Hosted Domains and click on Manage Hosted Domains.
  4. Select the hosted domain name that you’d like to manage.
  5. Click the Design tab.
  6. Now, click the WSC Website Builder icon.

Important: You will have to activate your Free WebsiteCreator plan if not activated yet. Please allow up to 60 minutes for the activation process. Return to the WSC Website Builder tool once your new plan is activated.
