The ultimate free web design tool - SiteStudio free website builder.
Setting up SiteStudio
After you have signed up for a hosting account, setting up Site Studio is simple. When you have completed the account sign up process, you will receive an e-mail with instructions on how to log into your Control Panel at FateBack.net.
After you log into the Control Panel, you should click on “Manage FTP” link in the "Site manager" section. This will drive you to the FTP Manager of the Control Panel. After this, click on the “Site Studio” link in the drop down menu on top of the page, activate your SiteStudio, open your SiteStudio (the website builder will open in a new window.), enter the host info and FTP password (the FTP password you have received in the e-mail or previously set up) on the next page and click “login”.

Important Information
After you have built your website with Site Studio, you can make further changes or additions to it using Site Studio or a different program to achieve greater flexibility while editing your website. However, you should know that if you edit your web pages with Microsoft FrontPage, you would not be able to edit your pages with Site Studio further, because FrontPages makes certain changes to files with security settings that make them incompatible with Site Studio.
In addition, if you upgrade your hosting plan to a static IP, to use Secure Socket Layers (SSL) for instance, you may see that all the graphics from the pages that you created using Site Studio have disappeared. To correct this issue, start up Site Studio’s Setting Page and click on Refresh Links. This will republish your website and will restore all the graphics that appeared missing.
