When you are logged in and viewing your Facebook page, please do the following:

2) Next, you will see a Marketing link on the left menu. Click on this and then select the Add a Like Box link.

6. I have no website development/HTML/programming skills - can I STILL build my own website with Wooza iWeb software?

Yes! Our software was designed exactly for this purpose - to make it easy for people to build a website without any technical skills or experience. The Wooza iWeb site builder comes with an extremely user friendly interface.  Many of the items on your website can be edited just as you would edit a  Microsoft Office Word document - i.e. insert an image, change font sizes and colours, etc.  If you can use common web applications like Facebook then we feel that you will have no problem using our sitebuilder software.

7. How do I make payments? Do you offer a debit order service?

Wooza offers a number of payment methods to our clients. These are:

a) Credit Card and Instant EFT via Monsterpay;

If you decide to cancel your Wooza account then your account (including website content, profile details etc) will be deleted after 30 days of cancellation. We have realised that other hosting/website design companies are unable to provide the adequate support for our software as required.

10. Do I have FTP access to my website so that I can make changes?

No. The Wooza iWeb software provides all features necessary to manage your site from the site builder. This includes uploading images, content, files for download etc. You can request FTP access to a specific folder on your account by contacting one of the Wooza staff members on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

11. I have built and published my website but its not showing on Google results?

Google scans and indexes all websites on the internet and it does this by following links from one website to another.  It may take between 3  to 4 weeks for Google to get to your website. This is a completely automated system, but there are various ways to improve the position you show up on when a search is done on your name or business.

Once your site is ready and you are happy with it, please go to our Facebook page, www.facebook.com/WoozaSA - like the page and post a link to your website with a short description of what you do (Facebook is one of the most popular sites on the internet so Google scans this site for new links very often).
The more people visit your site and the more you register on various internet directories such as hotfrog.co.za with your website URL, the sooner Google will show your site in search results. Also please read our notes on SEO.

12. How do I display Google Maps on my iWeb website?

In order to display Google Maps on your page, you will need to create the relevant pages and then insert an iWeb Addon. The particular addon you will require is the iFrame. Once you have added the iFrame, you will need to get the relevant code from Google (see our help video here: https://www.wooza.co.za/Wooza-iWeb/wooza-iweb-help.html).

After you have placed the Addon you wil then need to aquire the Google code that display the Google Maps module on your page.

To get the Google Maps code:
