*Do you host websites for people?

No. As of the writing of this documentation, we do not offer web hosting services. Sorry about that.

*Can I make mail forms or contact forms with this website builder?

You sure can. Just use our handy built in form maker!

*How do I make a mailto link, what even is it?

A mailto link is a link that will open a users email client and address an email to you. In the edit box marked as "Where does this link point to" enter something like: mailto:yourname@yourdomain.com and it will create a mailto link.

*Will you set up a web server for me?

Setting up a web server is one of those things I'm happy to do if paid, but really don't have the time to do otherwise. Sorry about that.

*where do I go to get free web hosting?

That's a little beyond the documentation here and for legal reasons we can't really recommend one service over another. that being said, google is a fantastic resource, ask google that question.

*What is a domain name?

A domain name is a web address, such as "nathantech.net" that points to your website.

*Why should I have a domain name?

It makes you appear more authentic and more professional.

Further, "nathantech.net" is easier to remember than "yourdomain.host'sdomain.tld"

*What does tld stand for?

TLD stands for top level domain, in other words, ".com" ".net", ".org" ETC.

*I have a question, but am nervous to ask. What should I do?

Don't be frightened. I don't bite! Well, only on full moons. Just drop me an email. If I can't answer your question, or your question is a bit more in depth than a free conversation, I'll point you at something useful!

*Is the builder html5 compatible?

It sure is!

*can I imbed code into the paragraphs?

Absolutely!

*Can I imbed code into the plain text?

For sure!

*Can I imbed code into other elements?

You can put code in any element you like, just be aware the program does not error check it in any way!

*My web page has an incorrect title. Why?

Do you have more than one title element? That is probably why.

*my links are broken, what's wrong with them?

First, if you are using a web URL in your link, for example if you are wanting to send your user to nathantech.net, make sure and write: "http://nathantech.net" and not "nathantech.net"

If you write "nathantech.net" the website thinks you want to go to a file.

Next, make sure your link is pointing to something valid.

Make sure you have typed the file names correctly and included .html. Don't write "index", write "index.html".

Finally, don't include the number symbol[#]. This creates a jump to link, which is beyond this FAQ.

If in doubt, run our built in link verifier.

*When I upload my website, and go to my web address, my stuff is not showing. Why?

This can be for many reasons, but here are a few steps to check:

1. do you have an index.html? Index.html should be your home page and must be called index.html

2. Is your website uploaded in the right directory?

*Did you write the documentation using Sunrise Waterfall?

I sure did!

*What is an encoding?

Put simply, in the context of this program, the encoding is the way to tell the program what language to expect.

*What encoding should I use?

For the most part, UTF-8, the default, is fine. If you find characters are not coming out as you expect though, try one of the others. If you want to know exactly what you should use, do a quick google.

*How do I change the encoding?

Simply click the change encoding item of the main menu.

*What is a meta tag?

Metadata is data (information) about data. The tag provides metadata about the HTML document. Metadata will not be displayed on the page, but will be machine parsable.

*Why isn't my mail form working?
Does your server support the sending of mails?
If your server is self hosted, you'll need a mail program, such as postfix, to be able to send the mails out from the server.
If it is not, check with your hosting provider to find out if you can.
