Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or so they say. But when it comes to Web Design, there are a few rules that you need to follow so that your website is easy to read, understand and navigate. One of these is lining up objects on the page - it just seems to make more sense to your eyes and your brain. Here’s how to to make sure your objects are all lined up.
We’re back to more simple website building tips this week. You have probably noticed that just before your WebEden website appears, there’s a ‘loading bar’. This lets the eagle-eyed website visitor know that the website is on its way.
You can edit and modify the look of this loading bar. Watch the video tutorial to find out how.
Its a massive update to the edit environment, and future proofs our website building platform for when we add new features. If you’re not sure how to switch to the new control panel, watch the tutorial below.

After our foray into the joys of Google analytics, we’re back to basics this week, for one of the simplest tutorials: how to add shapes to your website.

This is the third and final video tutorial in our basic guide to Google Analytics.
Up to this point we’ve shown you how easy it is to find out information about how many people are on your website, and what pages they’re look at. But there’s a problem. Because you are the person building your website, you’re also the person who visits it most. So lots of the statistics that you look at on Google analytics is actually yourself looking at your website.
Don’t worry though, there’s a really easy way to exclude yourself - or any other specific visitor - from your website data. All you need to do is set up a ‘filter’. What the video to find out how.
This week’s tutorial is a continuation of that guide. Here we show you how to segment your data so you only look at particular types of traffic to your website, be that search traffic, direct traffic or other types. We also show you how to export reports, and how to schedule reports too.

When you are a website builder, its important to understand how people are using your website. You need to know how many people are on your website; which pages they’re looking at; where they’ve arrived from; and how long they stay. Understanding these will help you improve your website, and add more content that you know your visitors like.
All these questions can be answered by installing Google analytics on your website. Last week we showed you how to set up Google analytics on your website. This time around we’re going to take you through all the basics to help you navigate around the interface.
