So, once you've joined the platform, the first thing it's going to ask you to do at the top is to search for your market. We have hundreds of different markets to choose from for different small businesses, solopreneurs, and people with various side hustles, and we are adding more markets every single week. So, I'm gonna head to the top and I'm gonna search for my market very quickly: "Indian restaurant." Let's go ahead and do that. Awesome! Let's go ahead and select their template.

With that done, let's add a few basic details about our Indian restaurant so we can generate a simple website for us. I'm going to go ahead and put in my company name, as well as my city and state's origin. Now, it doesn't matter where in the world your restaurant is located; you can enjoy the Multi-Site service. We have happy users from all around the world. I'm going to leave the type of business as "restaurant" and I'm going to click on "continue."

And look at that! Mighty Sites has literally generated a simple website for my Indian restaurant in not even a minute. Let's take a closer look together.

Now, the beauty of Mighty Sites is, we've pre-written all the content for you as a guideline, of course, and we've pre-selected all the images as well. They all look really high quality, as you can see. They actually look absolutely amazing and delicious. However, I'm sure you've got your own images of all the amazing meals you're serving up in your restaurant, and you want to showcase them on your website. You can do that. So today, that's exactly what I'm going to be showing you. I'm going to be demonstrating how to make some amendments, going through each section from the top to the bottom, giving you a little bit of a look and feel of how the platform works and how easy it is to use.

Now, you don't need to know coding, you don't need to be a web developer, and you certainly don't need to be a hardware professional either. So, let's get cracking! I'm going to click on the first section at the top, go ahead and put in my company email address, as well as my phone number. I want to make sure this box is ticked to display my email address on my website. Now, I'm going to go ahead and put in my phone number, as well as my street address, my physical location. Awesome! The great thing about that address is, when your customers click on it in the top left-hand corner, it automatically takes them to Google Maps to get directions to your physical location. Brilliant!

Let's head on over to update Social Links. Now, over here, you can put in the various social media platforms your business is active on. The icons for your social media accounts will be visible at the top, as well as the bottom, so your customers can easily give you a follow and get some engagement going.

Let's head on over to "Update Logo." Now, if you don't have a logo yet for your business, I do recommend you check out canva.com; lots of free options over there. Once the logo's been uploaded, click on the little pencil over here. You can add filters, crop your logo, add frames, decorate it, rotate, and zoom in if necessary.

Let's wait for that to re-upload as I've just cropped it to fit into that section a little bit better. Once it's uploaded, you can make it bigger or smaller, but I don't think that's necessary. That sizing is fantastic, so I'm gonna move on.

Now, with Multi-Sats, we've pre-selected all the colors used throughout your website for you. We basically wanted to make this as easy as possible when it comes to launching a simple website for your Indian restaurant. Maybe these colors don't quite go with your business cards, your menu, your logo, and you want to change it. No color coding necessary! Click on the little Paint Bucket and go through the various color palettes available for you to use. So, I'm going to go ahead and try this one. Let's check it out. That actually looks really great. I can change it at a later stage if need be. That one works well too, so I'm gonna go ahead and select that one.

Let's head on over to "Upgrade Image." Now, if you've got your own images, browse your device and upload them. Otherwise, search through the photo library. Hundreds of images to choose from, all completely royalty-free and free to use. Multi-Sats automatically searches for "Indian restaurant". You can play around with the terms a little bit, just search for "Indian food" or "Indian meal" and see what pops up. But I'm liking this image over here, so I'm going to go ahead and select it and see how well it fits into that section. That looks actually really awesome, so I'm going to go ahead and save it and leave it.

Let's head on over to "Update Contents". Now, over here, you can change the content to suit your needs. The button currently says "Order Online." I don't know if you offer an online ordering system. If you don't, let's go ahead and put in "View Our Menu." That button can link to various places. You can link to another website, like a third party, maybe UberEats or an online ordering system. Otherwise, an action like "Get Directions", "Click to Email", or "Upload a PDF file" which I'm going to go ahead and do. I'm going to upload my Mighty menu over there, so when your customers come to your website, they can browse your menu. I know I'm not the only person that likes to look at menus before they go to restaurants and literally pre-decide what I want to eat. Awesome!

Let's move on. Over here, the button can link to various places if you need to update your location. And over here is where you can add your trading hours, so your customers know when they can come and enjoy their favorite Indian meals. Go ahead and put all your trading hours over here, save them, and they will be displayed in the section over here.

We've now made our way to the "About" section. Over here, you can put a little bit more details about how your business came to be, how you got into this industry. Maybe it's a family-run business passed down from generations to generation with all the amazing recipes. Who was it founded by? How did it come to be? All the information you want to add over here.

As we continue scrolling down, over here is where you can add your team members. You've got up to six team members you can add; you can add their images as well as their roles in the business. But for now, I'm going to leave it as is. You can also include testimonials from happy customers.

Let's keep going down. Now, the "Menu" section. Over here, you can list all the amazing dishes you offer in your restaurant. I can put the dish name, a little description about it, as well as the price. As an example, I'm going to put "Chicken Tikka Masala" over here, give a brief description, and then put in the price.

Now, the "Gallery" section. Over here, you can add images of your restaurant, both the interior and exterior, some of the amazing dishes you serve, and even some of your happy customers. This really gives people a feel for your restaurant before they even set foot inside.

In the "Contact Us" section, make sure to keep your contact details up to date. You can also include a contact form so that customers can get in touch with you directly from your website.

The last part I want to show you is the "Footer" section. Over here, you can include your business's legal documents, privacy policies, and terms and conditions. You can also add any affiliates or partner logos.

That's it! It's as simple as that to create a website for your Indian restaurant using Mighty Sites. As you can see, it really is super easy to use. I hope you found this tutorial helpful.
