Frequently Asked Questions about using the Hoover Web Design Free Flash Web Site Builder


Q. How much does it cost to use your web Site Builder?

A. Nothing, our Flash Site Builder is free for you to use.

Q. Why do I have to register to use the Site Builder?

A. When the Site Builder was first launched we let visitors use the builder without registering. Many took advantage of this and used fake email addresses to send their web site to. I guess they had nothing better to do? Anyway, this resulted in hundred's of bounced messages coming back to us, so now you need to confirm your email first with a log-in id and password to use the Site Builder. Your email address won't be distributed or used for anything other than receiving your website.

Q. I didn't receive a password or my web site in my email. What should I do?

A. Perhaps you typed in an incorrect email address, your email address may be too long or you are unable to receive email from our domain. If this happens, use another email address.

Q. I forgot my login password.

A. Contact us.

A. Theme_x.swf should be theme_1.swf or theme_2.swf depending on whether you choose to make a business website or a personal website.
