Creative Cloud with Business Catalyst/Websites

I subscribed to a standard Creative Cloud membership yesterday....
On the Creative Cloud web page sidebar, there's a message saying 'Full Creative Cloud Membership comes with hosting for up to 5 sites....LEARN MORE >>
That goes to a page which says "Full Creative Cloud Membership comes with hosting for up to 5 sites. View and manage these sites from the sidebar on the Creative Cloud home page."
So it seems I'm stuck in a loop. I can't log in directly to Business Catalyst using my adobe ID either.
Any ideas?

Looking into starting a business using creative cloud and business catalyst

Hi,
I am just looking for a bit of clarification on a few things. I am looking at using Creative cloud and Business Catalyst for a new business.
Firstly, if I have both a Mac and a PC, will one creative cloud subscription allow me to install on both?
Secondly, with Business Catalyst if I am wanting to make more than 5 websites, do I have to use the partner plan? or is this just if I want to make comission? Basically can I pay individually for subscriptions to more than 5 sites on behalf of customers without paying the initial partner fee while I am starting up? Obviously long term the partner option makes sense but short term for start up it would be useful to just sell the adobe subscriptions without earning comission. Hope this makes sense?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Adam

Hi Adam,
I'm very happy to hear that you want to start a business using BC and Creative Cloud - this is one of the goals of our integration.
To you first question, yes, you can install Creative Cloud on both your machines.
To your second question - you don't need to be a paid partner while you're starting up. You can remain a free partner, and just buy supplemental websites from the Partner portal. You're right, you won't get the comission, but it's a pretty good deal anyway.
If you're starting up, I also strongly recomment the BCGurus "Zero to BC Hero" training program - not only they explain you the BC product, but they also include a lot of great business insights on running a web agency
Sincerely,
Alexandru

Logging out of Creative Cloud for Business Catalyst login

Dreamweaver is automatically logging me into my default Adobe ID - which is different from the Business Catalyst login I need to use. I am not the administrator for the BC account I need to login, so the "login to the Business Catalyst web administration console" link is unhelpful. How can I log out?

Migrating Adobe ID to Creative Cloud and Business Catalyst

I've bought CC monthly subscription refers to the same Adobe ID that I used previously with the trial of Adobe Muse and BC. Now the applications of CC work well with this Adobe ID but I cannot create my 5 websites included, it seems that BC continue to work as a trial. How can I have my Adobe ID working with BC?

Dns server issues with business catalyst, website not loading

Hi there,
Trying to upload a new website and it has disappeared saying that the DNS lookup failed. Have checked settings under site management and all looks correct but its still not working any help would be great.

May I have the site URL, so that I may look at the DNS settings?

How do I link my Creative Cloud account with Business Catalyst Web Hosting service?

Hello,
I'm having difficulty understanding how to access the Business Catalyst service. I have attempted to log in directly to businesscatalyst.com/admin but continue to receive an error login message stating that my username and password are not recognized. I was not able to create a new business catalyst website via Dreamweaver either, despite having successfully logged into my Adobe Cloud account.
The only way I was able to set-up a website for use with Business Catalyst was by logging in via http://www.adobe.com/products/business-catalyst.html, and pressing the "try now" button, which allowed me to create a demo site. This also allowed me to log into BC, but when I attempted to upgrade the site from a trial to the webbasic service, I am asked for a payment method.
I understand that the creative cloud service includes basic web hosting for up to 5 sites and should work seamlessly with DW or Muse, or using the InContext editing options provided via browser, but I am unable to truly access any of this content. Am I doing something wrong here?
Thank you

Please approach our support and supply them with your Adobe ID and the site URL you want to take live and they will do this for you in couple of minutes.

Unable to test my muse website with business catalyst .

Hello,
I am currently in trial of creatives-corner. I have developed an website with muse and trying to test it with business catalyst. But whenever i try to publish it is shows the following error.
Error:
Error uploading file slideshow1.png. There was no response from the server. Check your network connection, and try again. If this problem persists, try again later.
Please help.
Thanks

Hi
This can be due few reasons :
- If you have placed the asset in remote/network/external source then this can be the cause, try to save the asset on local drive and then try.
- It can be a connection issue from your end, check the settings and re-publish.
- I see BC is going on with some updates/maintenance on their servers , so this may be related to that.

Please try again to publish.

Does anyone know how i can fix this? I'm a complete noob in this subject.
Thank u for reading

Could you post a link please?
BC does not give that message - Would be good to see if it is indeed BC.

When you host a website with business catalyst do you get a domain name with it or do you have to buy one separately?

When you host a website with business catalyst do you get your own domain name with it or do you have to buy one separately?

Hi there,
You need to get a domain yourself.

How do I merge the content of one website into another with Business Catalyst?

I have two websites, each of them are Business Catalyst websites.
I would like to merge website 1 with website 2, so they are on the same domain.
Each website will effectively be put into it's own directory on the same domain, with the homepage allowing a visitor to decide which website they would like to see.
Is there an easy way to do this? I have a feeling it's a matter of copying all the content across, modifying the templates and doing everything manually page by page - which wouldn't be fun.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sam

Hi alberon-sam,
You will need to migrate your site as mentioned in this article: http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/203/bc_2038.html?bc-partner

Is it possible to purchase a website template with Business Catalyst?

Is it possible to purchase a website template with Business Catalyst?

There are a few sites that sale BC templates pre-built for you if that is what you are looking for.
Here are two of them:

TribeVita.com
I believe there are a few other places that sale them and searching Google may turn them up.
Hope this helps.

Need information on the art of the possible with Business Catalyst

Hi
My wife is setting up an online Business that will sell downloadable language resources (for learning foreign languages). These will include worksheets, soundfiles, and also animations (that are being done by a separate animator).
I am a 'rusty' Java developer and have said that I would do the IT for her.
We have purchased an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription as she is doing the worksheets in InDesign, and they will be sold as PDF's.
I have mocked up the beginnings of a website with Muse, but was intending to use that for getting the look and feel right, then replicating it in Java and HTML5.
However, today I started looking a Business Catalyst and seeing what it could do, but I am confused about it.
Would I be able to sell downloadable items using the eCommerce features?
Can I set up a mock shop on the free BC site?
How much does the eCommerce upgrade actually cost? Like I said, we are a Creative Cloud subscriber.
There will be some features that I will need to code, perhaps talking to another database, I understand that you can call out from the app to your own webservices etc?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Matt,
BC sounds like a good solution for you from the little bit you shared.
Do you mean javascript or java? Java doesn't run on BC as FYI.
Here are your answers:
Would I be able to sell downloadable items using the eCommerce features?
Yes you can. BC allows you to have media downloads for purchase.
Can I set up a mock shop on the free BC site?
Yes, you can start a free trial site that will allow you build and try out BC. Once you are ready to go live with the site you would pay to upgrade the site to a live site.
How much does the eCommerce upgrade actually cost? Like I said, we are a Creative Cloud subscriber.
The price is $38.88 per month (USA pricing. AU differs - more info here on pricing: US Monthly Pricing | Adobe Business Catalyst ) with Creative Cloud you have five basic sites with BC but to "upgrade" you pay the regular price for BC sites.
There will be some features that I will need to code, perhaps talking to another database, I understand that you can call out from the app to your own webservices etc?
There are APIs that allow you to talk to other services and send information back to BC.
You can find more answers by reading the KB: BC Help & support
On a side note, if you need help getting started with Business Catalyst I would happily offer my services. Send me a PM if you need additional help.

Taking a Muse site live with Business Catalyst

I have a complete Student and Teacher creative cloud subscription through my school (I am a student). And I have designed a website in Muse. I would like to take it live via Business Catalyst, but when I click "Launch Site," I get a window that says, "To launch this site you should upgrade to a paid Adobe Creative Cloud Membership which includes hosting for 5 sites with Adobe Business Catalyst." Then it directs me to the purchase page. But I already have a cloud membership. What's happening? Can anyone help me out?

Hi,
Creative cloud individual subscription allow you to host 5 free sites with Business catalyst. As you are using Student edition, your product does not qualify for free sites. To push your site live, you must pay for it.
Do let me know if you have any question.

May I use my five Business catalyst websites to host . . .

As a creative cloud subscriber, may I use my five free Business catalyst websites to host my own site with my own domain name or are these five sites only for testing?

Please refer to : http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2152 & http://www.adobe.com/products/web-hosting/buying-guide.html.
They provide you the complete detail.

What code editor do you use with Business Catalyst?

I am having many issues with Dreamweaver & BC:
1 - It keeps thinking that I have the trial version, even though I have a license to Creative Cloud and Creative Cloud shows that I have it.
2 - When I try to use the integrated Business Catalyst palette, it logs me out of the admin console for my BC site. ANNOYING.
3 - Most importantly, it doesn't put the files to the server successfully, consistently. I have change my file and re-put the file 5-6 times before it works. VERY FRUSTRATING!
After an hour on the phone with Dreamweaver customer support, the issue is still not resolved.
So, now I ask you all, what code editor are you using in conjunction with Business Catalyst while implementing your Business Catalyst websites?

Code editors, I used to use editplus until Adobe locked 90% of the FTP programs out there, now I use Sublime 2 with SFTP plugin but it's uber clunky and not so happy with it...
