Creating a site is the first step toward creating a mobile website in CliqLaunch. After creating a site, users can the begin to Create Pages for that site.  CliqLaunch users have the option to create both Regular Sites and Campaign Sites.

Upon logging in to CliqLaunch, you will be presented with your Dashboard from here you can access all aspects of your account including site creation.

 

By clicking the icon on the bottom right this will send you to the site creation screen, where you will decide several of the aspects of your mobile site.

 


  • The "Site Name" is what will actually be used in the URL when your site is created and will be what your site is referred to in CliqLaunch. 


  • Note:  Since the “Site Name” is included in the URL, it cannot contain any spaces or special characters.


  • The "Title" is what will be the name of your site and will appear at the top of your mobile site. For example, the title for CliqLaunch is "Create your own mobile site."


  • "PC Site URL" is used if someone is accessing your mobile site from a computer. Instead of viewing the mobile site, you can enter a PC URL so it reroutes the viewer to the PC URL rather than the mobile  URL.


  • "Keywords" are what search engines use to direct searches to the appropriate sites. When including keywords, be sure to use quotations around each and separate each with a comma.


  • Entering a "Description" can be helpful for organizational purposes in the future.


  • The "Bookmark Icon" is the image used if someone were to place their mobile site on their home page and appears in multiple other places.


  • To select a Bookmark Icon, click on "Browse..." and select one from your computer.


  • Be sure to select the correct type of site you are trying to create. (See Regular Site or Campaign Site.)


  • The box below "Site Type" is where the different available templates are available.  Note:  This is only available if there are active templates in the instance.   These can be created and activated by your Administrator. To select a template, simply click once on it. 


  • When finished filling out the information, click "Create Site" to finalize your site information and begin designing pages for your site.


Regular Site

Regular Sites are one of the two types of sites available for creation in CliqLaunch, the other being Campaign Sites.

Creating a Regular Site:

Upon logging in to CliqLaunch, you will be prompted with a message in the canvas as follows:

By hovering over the "File" link above the canvas, users also have the ability to create a Regular Site at any point.

To begin, click on the "Create Site" link. This will open up a Site Registration page where you have to fill out some key information. Note that the Site Name WILL be part of the website's URL and CANNOT be changed at a later point.

To learn what each field fully entails, see the Site Creation page.

Be sure to select Regular Site before clicking "Create Site" to finalize your site information.


Campaign Site

Campaign Sites are one of two site options available to CliqLaunch users, the other being Regular Sites. Campaign Sites are effective when trying to create a promotion that will only last a limited amount of time.

Creating a Campaign Site:

Note:  By hovering over the "File" link above the canvas, users also have the ability to create a

Campaign Site at any point.

To begin, click on the "Create Site" link. This will open up a Site Registration page where you have to fill out some key information. Note that the Site Name WILL be part of the website's URL and CANNOT be changed at a later point.

When creating a Campaign Site, it is effective to select an LOB from the "Line of Business" drop-down box.

You can also select a designated start and end date for each date by clicking on the calender button on the right side of each text box and selecting a date from the calender. This allows users to create campaigns well before they may even begin.

To fully understand what the rest of the fields entail, see the Site Creation page.

Be sure to select "Campaign Site" before clicking Create Site to finalize your site information.
