How do I set a start page in Website Builder?

To make it easy for people to find your site, you need a start page. If your site doesn't have a start page, visitors must type in the exact location, for example, www.one-example.com/contact.html. When your site has a start page, visitors only need to type in the domain name. 

In Website Builder, a start page is always called index.html in small letters. This article will show you how to easily set a start page in Website Builder.

• Step 1 - Open Website Builder

Step 1 - Open Website Builder

Log in to your one.com Control Panel and open Website Builder.

Step 2 - Go to page settings

1. Click the pages menu at the top of your screen.
2. Let your mouse hover over the page you want to make the start page. Then, click the three dots that appear next to it and select Settings.

Step 3 - Set the start page

1. In the bottom-left corner, check the "Make this page your start page" box.
2. Click Save.

Note: It's not possible to set a subpage as your start page. This is due to the fact that the start page needs to be in the root directory of your site. If you want a subpage as the start page, you'll need to move it up and make it a main page in your site menu.

Step 4 - Done!

That's all! You have now set your start page. You can recognize it by the small house icon visible in the pages menu.
