If you wish to, you can spend time creating a feature packed web site for others to envy.

How much control and customisation do I get? [ Top of Page ] You can make your Instant Site look exactly how you want.

You can also add many features to your pages such as music, videos, hit counters, advertisements, and much more. You can make loads of decisions about your site layout, such as where to display the navigation, logo and banner; what buttons to put on the navigation, plus colours and fonts. If you don't like something about your site, you can change it or just remove it completely. 7. What if I make a mistake when building my Instant Site?
