How Make A Base works

Register.

Registration on MakeABase.com is easy. Simply provide your email address and your preferred password.

Make A Base will never share your information with third parties. Ever.

Login.

When you register, you will receive an email with a confirmation link. Click on the link, or copy and paste it into your browser's navigation bar, and then login.

Upload your spreadhsheet.

Find a copy of your Excel or CSV spreadsheet on your hard drive and upload it to the Make A Base server.

Make A Base does the rest. All the conversions are done server-side. All you see are the results.

Share.

Once your spreadsheet is converted into a working database, you can will find a link at the top of the page that says, "Add this database to your website". Copy and paste the JavaScript code you are given into the web page where you want the database to appear. Tada! Now your website has a fully functional database.

Make your own database in minutes

Make A Base allows you to create your own database from any spreadsheet file you already have sitting on your hard drive. Just login and then upload your spreadsheet. Make A Base does the rest for you.

Wanna build your DB from scratch? That feature will be coming soon.

And it is free to upload, edit and view. Others can view your database without the need to register.

And you can add the database you just made to your own website.


Add a database to your website with no heavy coding

Make A Base allows you to add the database you just made to your website by adding just a little bit of JavaScript on your web page. It works the same way you add a system like Google Maps to your website. In fact, it's even a little bit easier to add!


How do I add my Make A Base database to my site?

Every database displayed on Make A Base has a link underneath the title that says, "Add this database to my website". Click that link and follow the instructions for copying and pasting the Make A Base JavaScript into your own web pages.

And presto! Your site has its own working database! How cool is that?
