Site Customization Guide

We accept credit, debit, and PayPal.

You are charged per year to cover the cost of your domain (a.k.a. your site name; www.richardred.com).

When you sign up for a site, you will receive an email with a link to a template selection page. You may preview the different template looks on this page. When you are ready, hover your mouse over the template you choose and click the "select this theme" button. You will be directed to set up a domain name in order for your site to be created.

Please follow the instructions to sign up and select your template. When you click the button "select this theme" on the Template Selection page, you will be directed to a page with instructions to set up your domain name. Please make sure your domain name is spelled correctly. When you are finished filling in the information submit it to create your site. It may take a few minutes for your site to generate.

If you have signed up for a year of membership, we will help you get set-up with a free domain name for one year. Please go through the step of creating your site through this page. We will be in contact with you after your site is generated to set you up with a domain name that does not end with .pullingsite.com.

After you submit your domain information, it may take several minutes for your site to generate. Before your site is created, the screen may be blank. Please be patient. If you have waited more than 15 minutes and your site has not been created, please email us at info@pullingsite.com with a description of the issue and the steps you have completed.
