If you're a wedding photographer and you're looking for an affordable, professional website to advertise your services, you're in the right spot—so keep watching this video. I'm going to be showing you how to use the Mighty Sites platform to build a simple and affordable website for your wedding photographer services. Let's jump in.

Now, if you just randomly stumbled across this video today and aren't quite familiar with Mighty Sites yet—welcome to our YouTube channel! Mighty Sites is an easy-to-use website generator for small businesses. It was designed to make creating websites fast and simple. Absolutely no coding is required. It’s only going to cost you $9 a month, and there is a free trial available for 7 days. So be sure to click on the link below this video to get started.

Once you’ve registered an account, the first thing it’s going to ask you to do is search for your market. As you can see, we've got hundreds of different markets to choose from for various small businesses. Let's head to the top and search for our market: wedding photographer. You also have the option to select the general service business template.

Great! Let's tell Mighty Sites a few basic details about our wedding photography so it can generate a simple website for us. Pop in your business name, city, and state or region—it doesn’t matter where in the world you're operating from, you can enjoy the Mighty Sites service. We have happy users from all around the globe.

Now, once you click on that continue button, Mighty Sites will automatically generate a simple website for your business and bring up a popup showing you how to customize your new website in under 30 seconds. Don’t worry about that for now, because I’m going to be the one to show you around.

The great thing about Mighty Sites, which makes us a little bit different from other website builders, is we pre-write all the content for you—specific to a wedding photographer—and pre-select images too, specific to that market. Basically, whichever market you select out of the hundreds, it will automatically generate a simple website for you with pre-set content and pre-selected images specific to that very market.

Of course, you can change the images, and I’m sure you’ve got some beautiful photos you’d like to showcase on your website. Maybe you want to make one or two amendments to the content—maybe let your customers know how you got into this industry. To make any changes, as mentioned, you don’t need to know any coding, and you certainly don’t need to be a web professional in any kind of way. You don’t even have to be that tech-savvy. It’s literally simple enough to launch and manage from your smartphone.

So let me show you how easy it is to make any changes. I'm going to click on the first section at the top. Over here, I’m going to pop in my email address and I want to make sure that that’s visible to my customers. Phone numbers are click-to-call, and for the physical location—when your website’s live, your customers can actually click on that address to be taken directly to Google Maps for directions.

Over here, underneath "Update Social Links," you can put in the various social media platforms your business is active on. Once you’ve done so, the icons will be displayed at the top as well as at the bottom of your brand-new website.

In the next section, if you’ve got a business logo, make your way over here to upload it. Once your logo has been uploaded, you can crop it or rotate it by clicking on that little pencil icon. You can also make your logo bigger or smaller to fit into that section a little bit better.

To change the colors, just click on that paint icon. There are so many color palettes to choose from. Browse through them and choose one that suits your wedding photographer service best—maybe one that matches your logo or your branding.

Now, for those sections where you want to change the images or the call-to-action buttons and where they link to, just click on that handy button. You have the option to browse your device and upload your own images or search through the photo library, which has hundreds of free high-quality images to choose from. You can change the keywords to find suitable images. You also have the option to connect your Instagram account.

For the call-to-action buttons, you can change the text on the buttons and where they link. You can even upload a PDF file—maybe with your different pricing points and packages for weddings—or link to another website. Maybe you take online bookings through a calendar booking service.

And the last section at the bottom is where your customers can easily reach out to you via the lead generation form. You can keep track of all those leads coming in through your Mighty Sites dashboard.

If you’ve already purchased a custom domain for your business website, that was absolutely a smart move—because having a custom domain for your website makes it look more professional, trustworthy, and helps you stand out from all your competitors. You absolutely can connect it—just click on "Connect Your Domain." Mighty Sites makes use of Entri, which makes connecting your domain super simple. Just click on “Already Have a Domain.” If you want to purchase a custom domain, you absolutely can do so via the Mighty Sites platform by clicking on “Own Your Domain.”
