Page Mason: the next great step in flawless web design
by Tiara Rea
Let’s face it – designing your website can be super tough if you don’t have the right tools. Hiring a web designer is great….if you’ve got wads of cash hanging around that you’re willing to toss their way. And you’ll definitely think twice the next time you let your best friend’s cousin’s sister design your site.
Lunarpages is always trying to find new ways to help make your website creation as easy as possible. We give you a domain name, one-click installs of blogs, forums, chatrooms, and more, and now, we are so incredibly proud to offer Page Mason, the next great step in intense web design.
While still in Beta Testing, Page Mason is our newest browser-based web design application, which all Lunarpages customers receive free with every purchase! It has definitely surpassed my expectations of what you can do with easy web design and offers a new kind of simplicity in website building without looking stupid or cheap. Even in beta, it’s already more than capable of delivering a beautiful website, literally in minutes. So here are some highlights to hook you:
* No experience necessary!
there are help tips and icons for every aspect of your web design, so if you get stuck, help is only a click away
* WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) web design editing
quite literally – my text, images, and links were flawless in the editor and browser alike:
* so easy your mom could do it image uploading
I’m not kidding – I created a test site in a couple minutes and was peeved when I realized I needed to upload some images…but Page Mason did it for me! Such a time saver
* an amazing variety of over 80 templates; everything from a serious business image to a great blogging layout
* no downloading necessary! Page Mason is a browser application, so you never have to leave the safety of your Lunarpages Control Panel to manage your website
To use Page Mason, simply login to your Lunarpages account at account.lunarpages.com and click on the Page Mason Installer button. This will automatically install Page Mason for you, and after that, you’re ready to start building your website!
And if you don’t have Lunarpages Web Hosting…what the heck are you waiting for? ;) Try our free demo version to take a look and see what Page Mason can do for you!
Remember, this is a Beta release, so any and all feedback is welcomed! If you have questions, problems, or comments, email pagemason@lunarpages.com

Wow! Blogs, forums, chatrooms – everything in just one-click install. That would be an interesting thing. As you said, Page Mason is in beta, by when do you think will be out of beta. I would like to try it.

That’s a good question, Justine. But I doubt our developers know at this stage. :) It’s already an awesome product that can create incredible websites, so I would assume that determining the next stage of release will be dependent on user reviews, comments, and suggestions by you guys!
Give it a shot, and email pagemason@lunarpages.com if you have any comments, critiques, etc. The more feedback we get, the better the next version will be!

thanks, it is a very useful tool!
Is it possible to use it for creating a site in different lanauges such as Chinese? Thank you!

Hi,
I like the tool, but it still has a long way to go. I seem to have a lot of trouble with the fonts. They never come out the way I expect them too. For example, using the bold feature on a word mid-sentence seems to louse everything up.
Homestead.com has the best tool for newbies like me. Maybe you guys can benchmark them. Why? It has a boatload of functionality and is much easier than pagemason.
Another thing… How can I get rid of REALTY on the top of my page? Do I need to start over? The template I am using is cool. I pray that you can help me!
Cheers from South Korea!

Heya Ron,
Any and all feedback is totally welcomed! Since this is only our Beta release, we really want to beef this tool up for all future releases. Our technicians and development team are always willing to incorporate your feedback, so shoot them an email describing your issues and what you’d like to see in future releases to pagemason@lunarpages.com
Even for help removing “realty”, they can probably assist, though have you checked our FAQs? Might want to email them to ask, as we can’t help here on the blog. ;)
Good luck with it, and keep letting us know your thoughts!

Right now I’m on blogger, but I will surely think about transferring it to you.
Eagerly waiting for your updates.
Thanks!
