How to Use HTML Code for Freewebs


Navigate to Freewebs.com and click on the 'Sign Up' button at the top of the screen. On the next page, choose a user name and fill in all your personal information. The user name will be included in the URL of your Freewebs website, so be sure to use one that reflects the intended use of the website.
Scroll down to the section of the Freewebs page labeled 'Select a Template for your Site.' To the right of that, there is a link reading 'Use Advanced (HTML) Mode'--click that link. Then, input the CAPTCHA words in the graphic box, read the terms of service and click the 'I Agree' button. Then, click 'Create My Site' to continue.
Select the Freewebs website hosting package you want on the next screen and click the 'Select' button beneath it. If you intend to pay for the ad-free or advanced hosting, make payment as directed. When done, you will be taken to your personal website account page. To begin creating your website with HTML code, click on the blue 'Edit My Site' button.
Create the home page of your Freewebs website by clicking on the 'Edit' button next to the file 'index.htm.' The edit button looks like a paper and pencil. Freewebs provides some basic HTML code to get you started. It is a good idea to open your website in another window or tab to look at while you are working.
Change the HTML title tag to the text you want displayed in the browser bar when your website is loaded. This should include the title and description of your website and keywords that people will search for. Within the

tags on the Freewebs edit page, you may input meta tags such as keywords, description and author information. If you are using a cascading style sheet (CSS) to design your website, include the HTML code for it (
is the correct HTML code to include a CSS file). The 'style.css' should be the name of the CSS file itself. If you are using a CSS file for your Freewebs website, you must upload the file to your account.
Copy and paste the HTML from a template found on another web design website if you found or bought one you like. If you are not using a template, you must change the HTML code on Freewebs by editing the page files. The web page editor gives you a basic WYSIWYG (What You See is What You Get) editor at the top of the screen. You can change font size, style, color, make text bold or italics and insert hyperlinks and images with ease.
Input your own HTML code using the standard tags and attributes if you do not want to use the WYSIWYG editor. Use and tags for large headings and sub-headings of diminishing size. All basic text paragraphs should be bound by HTML tags. Images can be inserted with the HTML code. All image files must be uploaded to the Freewebs account before including them. Click on the green 'Images' button on the account page and upload the graphic files there.
Complete the HTML code for your Freewebs website index file, or home page, and click the 'Save' button at the top left side of the screen. It looks like a small, blue computer disk. The Freewebs account page will load again. If you want more than one page to your website, click the blue 'add a page' link and repeat the steps to create your own website with HTML code.

How Can I Start an Online Baby Boutique? (6 Steps)


Apply for a sales tax permit and a federal tax identification number. Some wholesale vendors will require that you have these in order to purchase their goods. Particularly if you are going into business with your husband or someone else, consider forming a Limited Liability Company (LLC).
Choose an E-commerce site to host your online boutique. Volusion.com offers an entire package that includes your domain name, shopping cart and web hosting. Corecommerce.com is another E-commerce site that offers packages---both of these sites offer business email addresses, website templates (and the ability to use your own design), marketing tools, accounting tools, data feeds, Google AdWords coupons, the ability to create coupons or newsletters for your store and the ability to accept a number of different payment methods, such as Paypal, Google Checkout and credit cards. GoDaddy.com allows you to pick and choose the services you need, such as a domain name or shopping cart.
If you aren't familiar with SEO and online selling, an all-inclusive site such as Corecommerce.com may be the way to go. Volusion.com and Corecommerce.com offer a free 30 day trial. Vendio.com is a hosting site that allows you to operate your store for free. However, you won't have an exclusive domain name and your URL will be lengthy. This is important---a shorter URL such as Cutebooties.com is easier to identify than one that includes the hosting site's name and additional information, such as Vendio.com/stores/Cutebooties.com.
Set a theme for your store when selecting or designing your website. Choose a catchy name and logo for your online boutique. Familiarize yourself with your products. Create an 'About Me' page that includes your business history, vision and goals. Detail your shipping and return policy on a 'Shipping and Returns' page. Create a Privacy Notice page that details how you will use your customer's information.
Locate suppliers. Look for baby gear closeouts on eBay and other auction sites. If you don't already have specific brands in mind or you intend to design your own gear, contact American Apparel for basic wholesale baby gear. Also contact websites such as Children's Wholesale or Wholesale Kid for purchasing wholesale baby clothing, shoes and accessories. Until you know what will be a hit, limit your purchases to no more than 10 to 15 items of each style.
Take high quality images of your inventory. Include relevant information in your product listings such as clear descriptions, sizes, colors and clothing or shoe materials.
Promote your store. Thoroughly read through your website host's advertising tools. Take advantage of the Google AdWords coupon if offered. Submit your baby product feeds to Google. Your host site may have an easy way to do this; otherwise; you can visit Google.com and import them yourself (see Resources). Take advantage of Google Analytics, which you can use to analyze your traffic. Identify which key words (products) bring in the most customers.

How to Estimate a Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser


Set a fundraising goal. Whether the event is for charity or to raise money for new team uniforms, you need to have an idea of your fundraising objective. Set a realistic, achievable goal. Make sure that the goal is flexible because you might have to amend the number once you figure out how much supplies cost.
Select a venue. To maximize profits, try to pick a place that is free of charge. Check with your local church or school to see if you can use a spare room or cafeteria. If it's a small fundraiser, you can possibly use someone's house. For venues that charge, ask when payment is due. If you have to put down a nonrefundable deposit to secure the space, you must be comfortable taking a financial risk in the event you do not sell enough tickets.
Estimate attendance. Once your venue is chosen, you will have a clearer picture of how many tickets you can sell. Figure out how many people can comfortably sit and eat in the space. Do not plan on overbooking to make extra money.
Price supplies. For the menu, plan on serving a simple salad, garlic bread and spaghetti with or without meat. For the pasta, plan on the typical serving of 4 oz. per person, or 1 lb. per four people. One jar of sauce is generally needed for every pound of pasta. Plan on 1 cup of salad and two slices of bread per person. For drinks, you can serve water, iced tea or soda. To be safe, plan on everyone drinking at least two servings, or 16 oz.
Calculate cost. Once you have priced how much it will cost to feed your estimated number of guests, add any applicable venue fees. Add this total cost to your fundraising goal and then divide by the number of guests. This will be your ticket price. If the ticket price seems unreasonably high, then you can buy cheaper brands of food, select another venue or amend your goal.

How to Make an E


Choose a domain name for your website. Use your business name if it's available. If it's not, choose something simple and easy for your customers to remember.
Register the domain you've chosen. There are a number of domain registrars charging a variety of fees for registration. Avoid companies that charge more than $10.
Select a company to host your website. Research the tools and services providers offer and make sure they offer exactly what you need before making a commitment. An e-commerce website must have shopping cart technology and methods for taking payment.
Use the tools your web provider offers to build your website if you don't have web page creation skills. Your home page should clearly explain what sort of products you sell or services you provide. Use graphics and photos appropriate to your business to hold your visitor's interest.
Make a catalog of your products. Include good photographs, complete product descriptions and current prices. Anticipate any questions customers might have about the products and answer them in your descriptions.
Make ordering your products easier with shopping cart technology. List your shipping charges and explain what shipping methods you use, when orders are filled and when customers can expect to receive their merchandise. Use a shipping method that allows online tracking and email your customers tracking numbers.
Open a PayPal account if you don't have accounts with credit card companies. List other payment methods you accept and explain the delays that payment by check or money order might create.
List your terms, returns policies and guarantees. Make sure your customer service email and telephone numbers are prominently displayed on the home page and ordering pages. .
Include a map and directions if you have an open shop. Take photos of your business and list hours of operation.
