Hi There,
Welcome to Webo Academy. We are committed to your build success. Click the image below to enlarge it.
We offer the most comprehensive site builder in the world. Simply put, Webo is huge! To watch a 12-minute overview video, Click Here. Trying to build the world's most comprehensive digital marketing platform is daunting. It is a rewarding task but should be tackled one step at a time. Plan what you want to achieve as your start-up site, add your content, and publish it within an hour or two.
Over 90% of all websites in the world have never been opened, not once ever, from a Search Engine (Google etc.) search result page. Watch a short video on the History of the Internet. Click Here
Once you realise that website presentation success comes from the value proposition that you present, you will keep changing it to find what works for you and you will update it to keep it fresh. Yip, websites that are built by third parties do often not capture the conversation that you need to have with your customers.
If you can maintain a Facebook or LinkedIn page you can build and maintain a Webo site. Never battle - ask for help it is always easier when you know how!
If you are looking to create a Business to Make Money Online Webo offers a variety of options. Read about using the Webo SaaS to cut down on development time and costs or alternatively, read about starting an Accredited Webo Agency to make Money Online. To this end we offer a comprehensive Book titled Time to Go Online; The three e's to Making Money Online. This book is not an easy read; it is a comprehensive 400+ page implementation manual covering all aspects of running a successful online business.
On the right is your Administration Panel. There is an administration panel ( we call it the Member's Portal) for Directory Listings and a different administration panel for Websites, Blogs, eCommerce Stores, eMarketing Communicators and more. Each option has a How To Tips panel at the foot of the page. These How To Tips panels deal specifically with how to build that page. To activate VIP enhancements, on the directory administration panel, you need to upgrade. The first upgrade is free if you introduce a friend on a listing page by completing a Mention-Me form.
Most importantly, for those new to site building, is to follow the Getting Started Guidelines and then to follow up with getting the site built. Set out below are options that you can click to open. Webo sites are "click build" sites. Largely, you select options and copy and paste text and insert images into WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get Editor Panels).
We often find that people who browse magazines to find page layouts that they enjoy achieve the look and feel that they desire quickly. To do this set up a table with rows and columns and merge cells across and down to create a page template into which you add your text and images.
The following Getting Started Guidelines are suggested. Before you start, please read the guideline related to your objective.

Webo Sites (Directory Listings, Websites, Stores, Blogs, etc.)

Webo Hubs; Directories and Site Builders
In recent months Webo has enjoyed up to some three million hits a month. The single most significant source of traffic is from the USA, followed by many other countries.
Search popularity has steadily climbed from the first half of 2021 when the Webo Directory enjoyed some one million hits a month from browsers who had the opportunity to meet their needs.

Tip on Using an Apostrophe and other WYSIWYG Tips
We use WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editors. They are awesome as they allow you to simply "type in the box" and "format" in much the same way as you do in Microsoft Word. You can also create a page that has "boxes" as does graph paper and you can create a magazine-styled page with text and images where desired. Use the table option to create a page with the desired number of columns. You can then create the desired layout by merging rows and columns to create a variety of "boxes" that may be a different size to suit the text and or image that you want to place there.
There are many pros to not using coded HTML but there are a few cons. The most irritating I find relates to the use of an apostrophe. If you use one you are likely to get a SQL syntax error message that suggests the problem is at or near...a line number. To fix this problem instead of an apostrophe use eg QQQQQ or any other letter that you will recognise. On the Editor Options Panel select Source in the top right-hand corner. Scroll through the code and replace the QQQQQ with the code for an apostrophe. For the wizards the detail is as follows: The Unicode standard says you should use ’ for apostrophe and right single quote and ‘ for left single quote.
Our mantra; You drive and we build. Most importantly we are here to navigate your build and we are committed to your build success. Remember we are not just site builders; we are digital marketing strategists, here to navigate your success.
Should you have time constraints, please contact us, as we offer a complete "built for you" option.
Warm regards and once again, welcome.

Bulk Mail
We do offer an auto responder which is not to be confused with a bulk mailer that is designed to be responsive. We do also have an advanced bulk mailer, which is reserved for membership communication. Unfortunately, bulk mailers run the risk of blacklisting our community in circumstances considered to be responsible for unsolicited mail.
eMail Marketing is critically important and we suggest that you consider using the following or others for newsletters, etc.
-
Mailchimp—The free version has a monthly email send limit of 10,000
-
Convertkit—The free version is for under 1,000 subscribers
-
Sendinblue—The free version allows 300 emails per day, unlimited contacts
Another popular choice is the paid version of gmail which is reliable and affordable.
Phone Apps and Image Editing
Camera+
This app is the closest you can get to make your smartphone into a DSLR, as it maximizes the capabilities of the iphone's camera. Camera+ can provide continuous flash, even for images and can also shoot in burst mode. After shooting, you can then edit directly within the application. It doesn't get any simpler than this.
Pixlr
Need a great editing tool wherever you are? Pixlr is quite possibly the easiest to access because it is web-based. Autodesk, the firm behind the editing software, has also made it available for mobile devices as an app so you can use the same powerful features from the web anywhere you are.
GIMP
Though not available on mobile devices, GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is much like a stripped-down version of Photoshop with a much simpler user interface. The app is currently free.
Camera plus
Are you shooting close up? Though it sports the same name as other camera applications, Camera Plus allows users to snap Macro, Normal, and Far shots and allows you to control the exposure with one large slide control.
Photoristic HD
Photoristic HD is a blend of power, convenience and simplicity. This iPhone app can handle high-resolution images above 15 megapixels but still has straightforward controls for tones and other basic editing features such as exposure and contrast.
