Account: Create a New Site
Homestead has a couple different builders that have been used over the years. There was the original Sitebuilder Desktop. That program is limited in it's use, since it is an older program that is less compatible with modern systems. There is Sitebuilder Plus. This is the online version of the Sitebuilder Desktop program. It can only be used on existing sites that are already utilizing the program. Then, there is Website Builder. This is our newest builder that all new sites are created on.
To create a new Website Builder site:
- Log in to your Homestead account.
- Click on the Websites Manager tab, then click on Add New Website.
Note: If you do not see Add New Website, then your account has reached its limit on sites. 2 additional sites can be made available for $2/month - Please provide a unique name for the site. This is just a placeholder that your site will be built under until you choose a domain name. Alternatively, you can choose to only use the site name, in which case, your site will work with the .homesteadcloud.com URL.
- Click Add this Site. If the site name is already in use, you will be prompted to choose a different name.
You do not enter a domain name in this space. - If your name is available, you will be taken back to the Websites Manager page.
- If you are ready to move on, click Choose Design.
- Select a category and/or search for keywords. You may also just browse through them by changing pages at the bottom.
- When you find a template, hover your mouse over that template and click the select button to see a preview.
- If you like the preview, click Select this Design. If you want to look at more options, select Close.
- At this time, it is not possible to change a template on a site. You would need to create a new site and pick a new template.
- At this time, it is not possible to change a template on a site. You would need to create a new site and pick a new template.
- Clicking Select this Design will now bring you to the editor.

I've been using Sitebuilder Plus for the past few years and I just found out about Websitebuilder, but can't find any information on getting it. Can someone please tell me how to download it? Thanks.

My account reads SiteBuilder, not WebsiteBuilder. How do I get WebsiteBuilder?
Note: This conversation was created from a reply on: How do I add a blog in Websitebuilder?.

I can't seem to start over with a new template. The drop down menu doesn't offer the change and I am told I can't delete the template I started because it has a domain attached to it. Please help.

Hi! System shows me that I must upgrade to WebsiteBuilder for 9.99$pm, but doesn't show exactly what's included (how many pages, sites and etc). Currently I am on WebsiteGoldPlus. So is it plus 9.9$ to my package or replacing with old one?
