1. To log into your website's admin area, first of all you will need to simply locate the username and password we sent you when you first created your account with ellistonSPORT.

2. In your web browser go to the address of your site. In this tutorial the demo ellistonSPORT site will be used as an example but the same steps apply for your website.

3. Once on the homepage of your site you will notice there is a login box located at the top-right hand corner asking for a username and password. Enter your unique username and password from the initial email we sent you into the two boxes and click on the "Login" button.
