6. Choosing the Color and Image for your Website Design
You can now choose the color options by simply clicking on the color boxes available just above the design and select an image option by using the drop down menu. You will notice that the options that you select get applied to the design immediately.

You can now start adding the pages that you want to have on your website.
To Add a page, simply click on a page name on the page names list that appears on the left of the page. You can choose pages from the Business Page Names or from the Personal Page Names. Once you click on a name, just click the >> arrow button next to the top-most empty slot. You can repeat this until you have added all the pages you wanted to have on your website.
In case you want to add a Custom Page Name or if you want to Rename a Page Name that you have included already, then you can do this by -
a) simply clicking on the RENAME PAGES link, and
b) typing in the name of your choice and submitting the changes.
IMPORTANTThe maximum number of characters allowed for a Page Name is 15.
Please note that depending on the package that you have signed up for, you can always add more pages later. You can also Rename or Delete pages any time.

Once you are happy with the website design and options that you have chosen, just click on the Accept Design link, to accept the basic framework for your website and end the Quickstart Wizard.
