Question

Every time I try to sign up, it tells me my username is taken. I put the weirdest words in there, yet it's still taken. Why, and how do I fix it?

Community Answer

A lot of people have made accounts and used up a lot of usernames! Try putting together two or three words, or adding a few numbers at the end of the username.

Question

How do I make a website to sell stuff?

Community Answer

You must ask your parents or legal guardian first in order to make a shopping website. Creating a shopping website is something you'll have to do with a trusted adult's permission. In order to receive the money, you'll have to use you or your parent's or legal guardian's bank account. With your parents, you can use already established store sites like, eBay, Etsy, Amazon, etc. to sell your items.

Question

How do I add images to my website?

Community Answer

On some site creators, there is an option to add images. Google Sites works best for uploading images, but so does Wix. With Google you can find images to upload, but on Wix they need to be yours. If that doesn't work, you can email the site platform's help centre to find out.

Question

How do I make a website where I can put pictures with text?

Community Answer

If there is a text box option there, use that and put it with your photo. If you are looking to add pictures, you can add them on (there should be something, like a symbol or button). Google sites works best for this, and Wix is good too.

Question

What if I wanted to add some JavaScript into the website?

Lemonsters

Community Answer

Then, you would look for other website builders or creators that allow you to code the website with JavaScript. If this is not an option, I'd look into hosting the website and creating it without a web builder. Though, that would require extra cash.

Question

Is there a website you don’t need to sign up for?

Lemonsters

Community Answer

All website builders and creators require you to sign up. This is so it saves the progress of your website, and knows who you are. You can ask for your parents permission and help to create an account. If your parents don't want you to create a website, or have an account, then you sadly cannot make a website.

Question

Can I create a site on Wix and if I can, will it be unblocked for school computers?

Clcalculator

Community Answer

Yes, you can create a site on Wix. Wix is a popular website builder that allows users to create custom websites using a range of templates, drag-and-drop tools, and other features. Whether or not your Wix site will be unblocked on school computers will depend on the specific policies and settings of your school's network. Some schools may block access to certain websites, including website builders like Wix, in order to prevent students from accessing inappropriate or distracting content. It is a good idea to consult with a coding expert in Web design, who can provide guidance and support.
