I am an extreme newbie. I was able to create a simple website with Page Builder, but I would like to create nicer looking pages with Photoshop and make them my website. I uploaded the files that were created by photoshop (.jpg and .htm files uploaded to public_html folder), but I don't know how to make them "active". Can someone tell me what to do next, or where to look for a turorial?
Thanks.:confused:

I am kind of confused on what you mean by 'active'.
Can you include a link to your website?

The current site was all created with Pagebuilder. I want to use pages created in photoshop instead to make it a little more professional looking. Once I uploaded the files into the public_html folder, what do I do with them to get them to replace what I created in PB?

When someone points a browser to michaeldornish.com, the server looks in the public_html folder, and coughs up the index.htm or index.html file it finds there. So, if you want some new page to come up, delete the index.htm file that's there now, and put your new index.htm (or index.html) file in that directory.

Looks like you've fixed the issue, I am seeing the website. :D
Before you upload your PS files, I would backup your PB files.
After backing them up, upload your PS files and delete your PB files.
Make sure your index.html is in the pub_html folder.
Since you're using PS you're most likely going to have images which you cut/sliced. So upload those to the image folder.
You should be all set.
