First steps to building your website on mobile

Congratulations on taking your first step to create a beautiful, professionally designed website! We are excited to take you through this process. Let's get started!

1. The first thing you need to do is sign up for an account. You will enter the Template Gallery where you can explore the beautiful collection of website templates that you can use right away. Choose the style that appeals to you and click Use this template button. Here’s a guide that describes the Template Gallery in more detail.

4. Once you have chosen the template, you are taken to Step 1 of the Site Setup Wizard.

Step 1: Add the required details

Here’s what you can do at Step 1: 

• Tap the field and enter your website name. You can change the website name later in Website settings.
• Choose the category of the website you are creating, for example, business or online store, from the drop-down menu.
• Enter your website description. This step is optional and you can edit this description later at any time.

Once you are done entering your details, tap Continue button.

 

Step 2: Choose your website type

At Step 2 of the Site Setup Wizard, you can choose the type of website you want to create. You have the following options:

• Multi-page website: fully functional website complete with images and demo content. This website is built of several blocks professionally designed so fonts, images, and the layout are optimized for the best user experience on any device.
• Business card: this is a one-page digital introduction of your business containing a brief outline of what you do, a relevant image, and your full contact information. A Business card can serve as a placeholder mini-site replacing the “Under construction” page or as a building block for your multi-page site.
• Blank template: if you are not sure - or are completely confident in your website building skills - you can start from a blank page and populate it with Blocks pre-designed in full accordance with the template style.
  

Note: All colors, fonts, and effects are consistent throughout all the Blocks that you will use to build your website from scratch. 

        Once you have chosen your site type, tap Continue to go to Step 3. 

 

Step 3: Describe your website

At step 3, you can add more business details such as:

• Your logo. Learn about the importance of your logo in this article.

At Step 4 of the Site Setup Wizard, you can provide even more details about your business. You can add:

• Business address

• Business hours
• Links to your profiles on social media

Note: adding all of these details is entirely optional at this stage. You can always modify your business details in Website settings later.

8. You will be taken to the Website Editor where you can add blocks, customize your Website settings, and add content to your site.

You will be taken to the Website settings menu where you can change the description of your website.

10. Tap on the "gear" icon to access the Block settings menu where you can check or uncheck block elements that you want to appear on the page. Once done, tap Save to apply changes.
