support overview

Web Blox wants to support you as you build and launch your own website. This section will be dedicated to explaining every aspect of the Web Blox website development system. This section (as is the website) is currently under construction as we are in the beta version of Web Blox. This is the only web page available at this time, but you can see from the gray bar on the left side that we are preparing information to share with you.

You've tried the free trial and are ready to launch your website?

You need to connect with us to set up your DNS records to point to our servers. Once you've changed your DNS records with your domain registrar, your site will be live! Email launch@webblox.com to get the DNS information you need to make your website go live.

Which web browser should I use for Web Blox?

Web Blox recommends Firefox for both Windows and Mac, but our system works on all major browsers on all major operating systems. There's only one known issue in one browser. Although Apple's Safari browser works, it does expand the text window as you edit type. Once you're done editing type in Safari, however, the expanded text window closes up correctly and the results are the same as any other browser.




Who hosts my website if I use Web Blox?

We do. In order to make sure nothing goes wrong from you creating the website to going live, we need to host your website. Web hosting and email accounts are managed by Web Blox to make your life easier. The cost of hosting is low and included in your package price for your convenience. If you already own a domain name or have a hosting account somewhere else, we will help you get things in order to use Web Blox.

Can I move my existing website into the Web Blox system?

You cannot simply copy your website files from your old host to the new Web Blox system, but we will help you replicate and/or improve your current website. It doesn't take too long to do! You can create the same page structure in mere moments. You can copy the content from your old site to your new Web Blox website in just minutes. We know that this can be a frustrating transition, so we will help you make the switch. Once you're in the Web Blox system, you'll never want to your website anywhere else. Don't forget that you can get your own free account to play with by completing the "Try It Free" form on this page.

If you need us to help you upload your logo, email us your logo and account information and we'll help you get your logo in the system.

How is Web Blox different than Joomla or Drupal?

Completely different! Both Joomla and Drupal are a CMS (content management website) tool where accomplished website developers with extensive programming and installation experience can create manageable websites for their clients. While these two sites use "open code" that is free, what the developer creates for their clients is not free and can amount to a very large amount of money to produce. With Joomla and Drupal, most website owners are dependent on a web-savvy middleman to create their website.

Web Blox is a step above a CMS in that it not only manages websites, but it creates websites. Web Blox is calling their system a WDS (website development system), where anyone can create (or develop) their own website without the need of programmers or designers (the middlemen). This new paradigm gives people the power to create and control their own website without having to pay exorbitant prices to get uncertain results. With Web Blox, we allow you to test it out and see how simple, fast and fun it is to use. If it doesn't work for you, you don't have to buy it.
