How to Use the Website Setup Wizard

The real two-step wizard — Details, then a live Design step where you edit your actual homepage as you build it.


The website setup wizard is two steps — Details then Design — and both are shown at the top as a progress bar reading Step 1 of 2 or Step 2 of 2.


Step 1: Details

Step 1 of 2 — the Organization Information form

Headed Organization InformationTell us about your organization to personalize your website. Every field lives on this single screen — nothing about your identity is deferred to a later step:

Field Notes
Organization Name (required) Feeds your homepage headline automatically — Welcome to [Organization Name]
Tagline / Description This will be displayed on your homepage hero section
Contact Email
Contact Phone
Address
Logo Uploaded here, not in a later branding step
Favicon The browser-tab icon
Social Links Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube

Course37 also generates a working meta title and meta description from your organization name and slogan automatically — you never have to fill those in by hand to have working SEO metadata from day one.


Step 2: Design

Step 2 of 2 — the live homepage preview with editable Hero section

Headed Design Your WebsitePick a theme and arrange your homepage — live, exactly as visitors will see it.

This is not a form with a preview beside it. It is your homepage, rendered live with your real organization name — in the example above, Welcome to megaprep — and it responds to your choices as you make them.

Choosing a theme

Pick from Modern, Classic, Minimal, Vibrant, Professional, Creative, or Custom to set your own primary, secondary and accent colours by hand.

Working with sections directly on the canvas

Hover any section — the Hero block in the screenshot — and a small toolbar appears with a drag handle, a colour/style icon, an eye icon, a duplicate icon and a trash icon:

  • Drag handle — reorders sections on your homepage.
  • Eye icon — shows or hides that section without removing it.
  • Trash icon — removes the section.
  • Click the section itself — opens a properties dialog where you edit its actual content: headline text, subtitle, button labels, images.

The duplicate icon is there but does nothing during setup. It is the same shared control the full page editor uses later, where duplicating works — but inside this wizard step it is inert. If clicking it seems to do nothing, that is expected; duplicate a section for real once you are in the main Page Editor after setup finishes.

A running count at the bottom — Sections on your homepage: 6 sections in the example — tracks what your page currently holds as you add, hide or remove blocks.

Back returns you to Step 1 without losing what you entered. Complete Setup finishes the wizard and publishes your homepage with everything you configured across both steps.


Troubleshooting

What you see What it means
You expected more than two steps There are exactly two — Details and Design. Nothing else follows
You can't find a separate SEO or branding step Logo, favicon, social links and meta info are all handled in Step 1, not a later step
Clicking duplicate on a section does nothing Expected during setup — duplicate is only functional in the full Page Editor afterward
The section count doesn't match what you see It counts every section including hidden ones — a hidden section still counts, it just doesn't render on the live site
You want to change something after finishing Everything from the wizard remains editable afterward in Manage & Create New Pages and the Page Editor
