The supplier has discontinued development and support for WebSite 1.0.
We are replacing the service with Website SODEW ⧉. Previously created services will remain accessible in the original editor, and support will remain available for paid versions. We are currently working on migration to the new solution.
In this article, you will learn:
- Basic information about WebSite 1.0
- Changing the plan
- Project settings
- Controls
- Common issues
- Frequently asked questions
Basic information
WebSite 1.0 is a simple block-based website editor that lets you create static web pages without coding knowledge.
The advantages of WebSite 1.0 include:
- A free basic version (for example, to try it out).
- A wide selection of ready-made templates and blocks.
- Intuitive visual design for phones, tablets and PCs in a single interface.
- The option to insert custom code (paid versions only, on request from support).
The disadvantages are:
- The supplier has discontinued development and support. Elements or combinations of elements may contain errors that take considerable time for us to resolve.
- Only static content is supported: websites do not support features such as article comments or adding products to a shopping cart.
- Contact forms do not support adding or deleting fields.
- Frequent manual adjustments are required, such as naming page sections and updating links.
WebSite 1.0 plans
WebSite 1.0 supports three plans: Free, Profi and Premium.
To upgrade your plan, follow these steps:
- Log in to Customer Administration ⧉.
- In the top menu, select Hosting services WebSite.
- In the left menu, select Change plan.
- Click the button Select for your chosen plan.
- Confirm your selection with the button Change plan.
The plan change takes no more than half an hour. After this time, log in to WebSite administration ⧉ and publish your website again.
For technical reasons, the service plan cannot be downgraded!
Project settings
This section contains guides to:
Logging in to the editor
To log in to the editor, follow these steps:
- Log in to Customer Administration ⧉.
- In the top menu, select Hosting services WebSite.
- In the service details, in the section WebSite management interface click the button Log in.
- In the WebSite interface, click the green button with the pencil icon.
Project and page settings
Project settings primarily let you add a page favicon, custom CSS (such as fonts) and third-party code (most commonly Google Analytics and similar tools).
To access project settings (for all pages at once) or individual page settings from the open editor, follow these steps:
- In the top right corner of the editor, click the icon with three vertical dots.
- Select Project settings or Page settings.
- Enter the required settings.
- Click the button Save settings.
Saving and publishing your website
In preview mode, the website does not support links to other pages in the project. You can therefore test links only on the published website.
We recommend saving your website regularly using the button Save now (!) v horní liště. Nastavení se ale neprojeví na webu, dokud jej nezveřejníte následujícím postupem:
- On the right side of the top bar, click the button Publish website.
- Select the pages you want to publish from the list.
- Click the button Publish now.
To view a page before publishing it, click the button Preview.
Controls
The editor controls include:
- Left menu: Use this control to add the following basic elements to your website:
- Templates: A template is essentially a complete page that you can customize as you like.
- Blocks: A block is a ready-made content section, such as a navigation bar or gallery. You can place blocks anywhere in a template or combine them to build an entire page of your own.
- Components: Components are small parts of pages, such as headings, buttons or individual images. You place them inside existing blocks.
- Pages: Paid WebSite plans can include multiple pages.
- Detailed editor: Each element has at least one detailed editing panel, which you open by clicking the component’s blue gear button. Here you can set the appearance of elements, link destinations, etc.
Common issues
Unless otherwise stated, we resolve issues requiring customer support assistance only for paid WebSite versions.
Common WebSite 1.0 issues include:
- The editor or resulting website does not work
- Saved block previews do not work
- Links do not work in preview mode
- Outdated website
- Missing background images
- Full gallery
- Ads still displayed after upgrading from Free
- WEDOS favicon in search results
- Form not working
The editor or website does not work correctly
Problem: Content disappears from blocks, changes are not saved, or the website displays only a blank page or Error 503: Service temporarily unavailable.
Cause: Ad-blocking software or another browser plugin is interfering with the editor.
Solution: Disable ad-blocking software or the corresponding antivirus feature, at least within the editor.
Restore damaged blocks from the history, or delete and recreate them. We cannot restore them on our end.
Saved block previews do not work
Problem: After saving a block, we cannot find it; its preview image is missing.
Solution: You can find saved blocks in the menu Blocks > Saved blocks. Ukládají se chronologicky, takže poslední přidaný blok najdete úplně na konci. Problém s nezobrazováním náhledových obrázků se nám bohužel dosud nepodařilo vyřešit.
Links do not work in preview mode
Problem: I have created several pages in WebSite. Whenever I click a link to another page, Error 404 appears.
Cause: Links to other pages in the same project do not work in preview mode.
Solution: Publish the website and test the links there.
The website displays old content
Problem: After an update, the page displays the website’s old content.
Cause: Most often, the updated page was renamed, but the navigation still points to the original file.
Solution: Check that the updated page’s name exactly matches the name in the browser address. For example, if you renamed the page galerie.html to Galerie.html, make sure you are opening the page Galerie.html.
Update all links to the new page name manually: the editor does not fix links automatically.
Background images are not displayed
Problem: Background images load only in the editor, not in preview mode or on the website.
Cause: The images do not have the correct address.
Solution: Open the image’s detailed editor and in the field Background image add the subdomain to the address: img.
Full gallery
Problem: No more images can be uploaded to the gallery, even though the old ones have been deleted.
Cause: The system failed to delete the images from the server.
Solution: Send an authorized request to clear the gallery. We also handle these requests for WebSite Free. Requests are normally processed within 1 week.
Ads in the paid version
Problem: Ads are still displayed after upgrading from Free to a paid version.
Solution: Publish the website again in the WebSite editor. Then use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+R in your browser to load the updated content directly from the server.
WEDOS favicon in search results
Problem: After uploading a new favicon, search results still display the WEDOS logo.
Cause: Search engines prefer the default file over the favicon configured directly on the page: favicon.ico.
Solution: Send an authorized request to support and ask for your favicon to be renamed on the server. Requests are normally processed within a few business days.
Form not working
Problem: Emails are not being received from the contact form.
Cause: The form is damaged or the destination email setting has not been applied correctly.
Solution: First, log in to the WebSite service interface, without opening the editor. In the top right corner, click Hello, wXXXX and select from the dropdown menu My account. Enter the email field here (you can change it or leave it the same) and save.
If that does not help, delete the form and insert a new one.
Avoid modifying form fields, especially copying or deleting them.
Frequently asked questions
How can I try WebSite if I already have Webhosting for my domain and cannot order WebSite?
Set up the service on a subdomain, such as test.vasedomena.tld.
How do I switch from WebSite to Webhosting or vice versa?
To switch from WebSite to Webhosting, follow the guide to switching between these services. We have discontinued support for switching in the opposite direction.
Why do you still offer WebSite if you are no longer developing it?
We are keeping WebSite 1.0 available until development of version 2.0, based on the popular WordPress content management system, is complete.
Will I be able to migrate my website from WebSite 1.0 to 2.0?
The services use very different systems, so we will not be offering migration between them in the foreseeable future.
