Use Popular Social Media Sites to Share Content Related To Your Website |
Go where there people are—social media. If you are running a web-empire with multiple websites, you may want to have just a single social media account with each social media site for all of your websites, choose to have one for each, or combine some. It is not easy maintaining many accounts, so if the content is all somewhat related, it is suggested that you combine accounts for simplicity and efficiency.
The first thing you want to do is open an account on each social media platform that will work with your website. Some of the popular ones (as of this writing) are
Once you open accounts for these, note the URL to your account, and add it in all your tools in the "Configure" area under the "Social Media" tab. Then, make sure you create and share content often!

Create/Use an Attractive Theme and Header Image |
Design is hugely important when it comes to presenting information via a website. If you don't have an eye for design, do not attempt to create your own theme. Our platform comes with dozens of pre-made themes by graphic designers—colors which go together well. If you don't have graphic design experience, consider hiring someone else to design your header image for you (we offer this service). When your site is designed, run it by some people you trust will be honest with you, and get their feedback. A poor design can turn away many potential users, while a good design can attract many more.

Plan Out Your Menus |
Think about all of your tools and pages being used in your website, and add them to the menu in such a way so that the important items are visable and easy to find. Think about the user experience and how they will be navigating your website. Be sure to try your site in another web-browser where you are not logged in, and experience your website from the public's perspective.
