# Set up your website

> Fill in the set-up page — website ID, domain, starting design and admin login — before you pay.

After you choose a plan, the **Set up your website** page asks for the few details we need to create your website. Everything except the domain and website ID can be changed later.

## Website ID

A short internal name for your website, such as `sharma-dental`. Visitors never see it; it identifies your website in our systems and in conversations with support.

- Use only **letters, numbers, dots (.), dashes (-) and underscores (_)** — no spaces.
- Up to 60 characters.
- It must be unique across NijeesWeb, so a generic word like `shop` may already be taken.

> [!WARNING]
> The website ID cannot be changed after you pay. Pick something that will still make sense in a few years.

## Website domain

The address visitors will type to reach you, such as `sharmadental.in`.

- Type the **bare domain**: no `http://`, no `https://`, no `www.` and no slash at the end.
- You must already **own** the domain. Buy it from any domain registrar first.
- A subdomain such as `book.sharmadental.in` also works.

Right after paying, you will [connect the domain](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website/getting-started/connect-your-domain) by pointing it to `13.202.27.61`. You can do that before paying too — it does no harm.

## Your starting site

Choose what your website looks like on day one:

- **Ready-made site** *(selected by default)* — the complete designer-made website that comes with your plan: **Lumen** with the smallest plan, **Meridian** with the middle one, **Obsidian** with the largest. Every page, image, menu and contact form is already in place.
- **A website theme** — any complete theme from the NijeesWeb library that your plan includes, shown by name with the label *Website theme*.
- **Blank site** — one empty page with no styling, for people who want to build everything from scratch.

Nothing here is permanent. You can change every word, image and colour afterwards, and install other themes later from the admin panel. See [Templates](https://www.nijeesweb.com/website/templates) to preview the designs.

> [!NOTE]
> **On a one-page plan, you still get the whole site.** A plan that allows a single page installs the ready-made site — or a website theme — on that one page: the home page first, then the other pages as sections below it (*About*, *Services*, *Gallery*, *Contact*…). The menu and buttons jump to each section, and the gallery and contact form work as usual. If you later add pages with an [add-on](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website/account-billing/add-ons) or a bigger plan, you can move sections onto their own pages.

## Website admin account

This is the login for your website's **admin panel** — where you edit the site. It is separate from your NijeesWeb account.

- **Admin name** — shown in the admin panel. Pre-filled with your account name.
- **Admin email** — you sign in to your website with this. Pre-filled with your account email.
- **Admin password** and **Confirm admin password** — at least 6 characters, typed the same in both boxes.

> [!TIP]
> Save this password in your password manager now. It is the key to editing your website, and it is not the same as your account password unless you choose it to be.

## Pay and activate

Check the plan summary on the right, then select **Pay & activate**. You are taken to PhonePe's secure checkout — see [Pay for your plan](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website/getting-started/pay-for-your-plan).

## If the form shows an error

| Message | Fix |
| --- | --- |
| *The website ID may only contain letters, numbers, dots, dashes and underscores.* | Remove spaces and other symbols. |
| *The tenant id has already been taken.* | Someone already uses that ID — add something unique, like your city. |
| *Enter a bare domain such as mystore.example.com (no http:// and no trailing slash).* | Delete `http://`, `https://` and any `/` at the end. |
| *That domain (or its www. alias) is already in use.* | That domain already has a NijeesWeb website. If it is yours, renew or upgrade it from your dashboard instead. |
| *That domain is reserved.* | You entered a NijeesWeb address. Use your own domain. |
| *The password confirmation does not match.* | Type the same admin password in both boxes. |
| *You have reached your limit of … websites.* | Your account's website allowance is used up — [contact support](https://www.nijeesweb.com/contact?topic=plans) to raise it. |

All of these are explained in more detail in [Set-up form errors](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website/troubleshooting/set-up-form-errors).
