What kind of web pages can I make?
Roxer
is an excellent choice for those building the typical web page. While
there are many elaborate web pages out there, most are comprised of
only images, text, and basic layout elements, all of which Roxer was
designed to allow you to easily create and manipulate. To see real
examples of what you can create, check out our "Made with Roxer"
section.
If you need something more complex like an inventory system, or message board, Roxer may not be a fit just yet.
What makes Roxer different?
Roxer is different from other products in a few ways. First, we've
taken a new web design approach which is visual and completely code
free. Secondly we've packaged everything that people use to make web
pages into little things called "Boxes" which are completely portable.
This means that you can not only move them around on a web page, but
also visually copy & paste them from one web page to another.
Why should I use Roxer?
Roxer
brings the art of making Web pages to the people. From now on you and
your friends don't have to be programmers to make great looking
websites or spend time copy and pasting snippets of code to do amazing
things online. If you can dream it, you can build it.
Who is Roxer made for?
Our goal is to make Roxer the easiest available tool for anyone
involved in web design. If you want to make a web page, you should try
Roxer before any other web design method. Roxer is not for every type
of website yet, but it is an excellent choice for simple website
creation. We suggest creating a free account and trying it out for yourself. You'll know pretty quickly whether Roxer is a fit for your needs.How do I use Roxer?
Unlock
a Web page, use the Toolbar to add Boxes, click & drag to customize
your layout. To change text, double-click the text and type. Lock the
Web page to save your changes. It's really that simple. For detailed instructions be sure to check out our "How To" section.
What is a "Box"?
Everything on a Roxer page is a "Box" of some sort. A
"Box" is a mini program that runs on your website instead of on your
computer. This could be a colored rectangle, text, a photo, YouTube
video, friends list, speech bubble, etc. The possibilities are endless
and we have a ton to choose from.
Why should I use Roxer instead of how I currently make web pages?
Roxer
is fun, saves time, makes amazing Web pages, and all without needing to
know how to program or installing special software. Roxer turns you
into a Web genius. Plus it's free to get started.
I'm a web developer, can I make Boxes?Not at the moment, but Box developer support is coming soon!
Do Roxer pages show up in Google, Yahoo, and MSN?They sure do!
All this is free? What's the catch?
Roxer is brand new and we want to observe how people use the technology
and what kinds of features they want us to add. To supplement Roxer’s
development costs we will likely experiment with adding a small amount
of sponsored advertising to our users' Web pages. Very soon we'll be offering a "Power User" account for people who need more space and features. For now we really just look forward to seeing how people
use Roxer and watching the direction it takes naturally.
Where do I get Boxes?
You
can get Boxes by pressing Add button on the Toolbar. Yet another way is
to copy & paste from one of your pages or a page of another user.
Can I host a domain on Roxer?
Yes, if you have a domain name you can point it at your Roxer account. Follow these instructions.
Can I export my Roxer page?
Right now we're providing Roxer as an all-in-one service.
Can Roxer support my small business?Right now Roxer is an excellent product for personal websites and small businesses.
How do I sign up for a Roxer account?
Use our account creation form and you'll be up and running in no time.
Can I move a website that I've already built over to Roxer?
We don't have an import feature yet, though many have already found that Web pages can be rebuilt easily with Roxer.
