Now, once you've registered in a free account trial, the very first thing it's going to ask you to do is to search for your market at the top. We have hundreds of different markets to choose from, and we are adding more every single week. So, I'm gonna head to the top, and I'm gonna go ahead and search for my market, woodworker. Here it is, over there. I'm now going to go ahead and choose templates. Awesome! Let's go ahead and tell Mighty Sites to start a few basic details about our business, where it's located, which city, and which state or region, and it doesn't matter where in the world your business is operating from, you can enjoy the multi-site service. We have happy users from all around the globe. Let's go ahead and click on that continue button and let Mighty Sites work its magic and create a simple website, and there you have it. It's literally done it in not even a minute. Let's take a close look at what it's come up with together.

Now, the beauty of Mighty Sites is, we've pre-written all the content for you as a guideline, of course. We've also pre-selected all the images as well. They're all really high quality, as you can see, completely free for you to use. However, I'm sure you've got some amazing images of all the wooden furniture and creations you have come up with, and you want to showcase them on your website. You can do that. It's super simple to make amendments; you don't need to know coding, you don't need to have any sort of website professional skills of any kind, and you certainly don't need to hire someone to help you with this process. Even if you're not that tech-savvy, you can do it all yourself. So, I'm gonna head to the top section and go ahead and click on update section. Let's go ahead and pop in our email address over here, and I want to make sure that email address is displayed on my website, so I'm going to go ahead and tick that box. Awesome! Let's go ahead and pop in our phone number over here. Let us click to call, by the way. I'm now going to go ahead and put in my physical location, my street's address. The great thing about that address is, when your website is live, your customers can click on us and be taken directly to your Google Maps to get directions to your physical location if you have one. Let's go ahead and update our social links over here. You can put in the various social media platforms your business is active on. Icons will be displayed at the top, as well as at the bottom of your website. Awesome! Let's go ahead and update that logo. If you don't have a logo yet, I recommend you check out canva.com. Lots of great free options on the website. The logo has been uploaded. If you want to make slots amendments through a crop, rotate, zoom in, add filters, frames, go ahead and click on the little pencil. Otherwise, click on save, and you can make the logo bigger and smaller on the right.

Now, with Mighty Sites as well, we pre-selected all the colors for you. If you want to change them to go through branding your logo a little bit better, go ahead and click on the little paint buckets. No color coding necessary. Go through the various color palettes available for you to use. Awesome! For each section, you want to make amendments to, click on update section directly underneath it. Head on over to update image if there's an image in that section. Browse your device and upload your own. Otherwise, search through the photo library. Hundreds of images to choose from, and they're all completely free to use or very high quality. You can make amendments to the content too. The button currently says "Request a free estimate," which I think is perfectly fine. If you want to change that text, you can go ahead and do so. Go ahead and click on choose link. You can link to another website, if need be, and action. Otherwise, upload a PDF file, which is a great option to upload your catalog or your current promotions and offers. Look at that! This looks absolutely fantastic, and the last section over here is where your customers can reach out to you. The lead form, all they need to do, just put in their details, their query or message, push send, and you will get notified by email. You have a new lead via the form.

If you have a custom domain for your business, go ahead and click on connect your domain. So, I already have a domain. If you don't have a domain, you want to purchase one to make your website look even more professional. Go ahead and click on this button over here, and your Mighty Sites dashboard is where you'll find your leads as well, from that form at the bottom I've just shown you.
