Getting Started with Dorik

Once you’re there, look for a button that says “Sign Up” or “Get Started.” Click it!

Once you’re in, you’ll see your dashboard. Think of this as your home base. It’s where you’ll find all the tools you need.
Exploring the Dorik Interface
Your dashboard might look a little busy at first but don’t worry.
The main parts you need to know are on the side or top of the screen.
Look for things like “Templates,” “Pages,” or “Settings.
“Templates” is where you’ll find ready-made designs for your website.
You can pick one you like and change it later.
“Pages” is where you’ll see all the pages you make. “Settings” is where you can change things like your website’s name or connect other tools.
Building Your First Page
Choosing a Template
Now, let’s make your first page! Go to the “Templates” section on your Dorik dashboard.
You’ll see lots of designs. Think of them like different rooms in a house.
You need to pick the room you like best.
Look through the templates. You’ll see things like “Business,” “Portfolio,” or “Blog.
” Pick the one that fits what you want to do. If you’re not sure, just pick one that looks good to you.
Click on a template to see a preview. Does it look like what you want? If yes, click “Use Template” or “Select.” If not, keep looking.
Customizing Your Page
Once you pick a template, it’s time to make it your own. You’ll see text and pictures on the page. You can change them!
To change text, just click on it.
Then, type in your own words. Easy! To change a picture, click on it, and you’ll see an option to upload a new one.
Want to add more stuff?
Look for a button that says “Add Section” or something like that. You can add more text, pictures, or even videos.
Dorik uses drag-and-drop.
That means you can click on something and move it around the page. Just click and hold, then move your mouse. It’s like moving puzzle pieces.
Adding Elements
Elements are like the little things you add to your page, like buttons or forms.
A button is something people click on. A form is where people can type in their info, like their name or email.
To add an element, look for a button that says “Add Element” or something similar.
You’ll see a list of things you can add. Pick the one you want.
After you add an element, you can move it around just like you did with sections. You can also change how it looks. Click on the element, and you’ll see options to change its settings.
Remember, most websites are viewed on phones, too.
This is called responsiveness.
Dorik helps make your website look good on any device. Try resizing your browser window to see how the page changes.
Essential Dorik Features
Forms and Contact Pages
Want people to talk to you? You need a form. A form is like a digital piece of paper where people can write their info.
Dorik makes it easy to add a contact form to your site.
Look for an “Add Form” element.
Drag it onto your page. Now, you can change what questions it asks. You can ask for their name, email, or anything else you need.
When someone fills out the form, you’ll get their info.
You can see it in your Dorik dashboard. This helps you keep track of who wants to talk to you.
Contact pages are important.
They tell people how to reach you. A simple form on a contact page makes it easy for visitors to get in touch.
Integrations
Integrations are like connecting your website to other tools.
For example, you might want to connect your email.
This lets you send emails to people who sign up on your site.
Look for a section called “Integrations” in your Dorik settings.
You’ll see a list of tools you can connect. Click on the one you want, and follow the steps.
