Hi everyone, and thanks for joining this video. Today, I'm going to show you how to create a website for a handyman. It's a super simple and easy process. You can be up and running in just five to 10 minutes with a brand-new website for your handyman business. So I'm going to show you the easiest way to do this, and I'm going to share my screen here, which is to visit mightysites.com and then go here to start the free trial launch. Or you can scroll down right here and find your handyman business here. So you can pick the template right away. So I'm just going to jump in. I'm going to choose the handyman template to get started.

Start Your Website By Entering Your Business Information

And so the first thing you do, I'll put in Keegan, I guess I'll put Keegan's handyman business, and I'm going to put Denver, Colorado.

And then this is a service. So again, there are templates for all types of small businesses, but handyman is a service business. So I'll click continue, and the next step will generate the template for me. So it's that straightforward to do.

Select and Deploy The Handyman Website Template

So now, all of a sudden, just like that, I have a simple professional website for my handyman business, and it's got all these images ready to go. It's got a contact form ready to go for me, and I can use any of these images that I'd like, or I can change them out too if I want to use something different. But all the copy is pre-written, all the images are there, and it just makes it easy for me to create the rest of the website and launch a website for my handyman business.

Editing Your Handyman Business Website

So basically, the next step can go to any of these sections and click on the update section. And let's say that I want to add, you know, my address or postal code phone number. If I want to add my social media, I can add any of those things here. So let's say I have a Twitter or Facebook for my business, I can save those close, and now you can see right over here and move this out of the way. You can see that now that the links are already there, and those are directly linked to my social media sites for my handyman business. So that's super easy to do. If you have a logo, just click right here and click on update logo. You can browse on your computer and then just upload it there.

If you wanna change the menu around or add new menu items, you can click here to edit any of those.
Change where they link. If you want, you know, you can cancel and add a new menu item there. If you want a link to somewhere else on your website or something new, that's easy to do. Just click add menu add to the menu once you've added it. So that's great. Update your location. Again, if you want to add your email or have people email or call, type them in. And those are just going to show up right here at the top. And then you save it when you're done. Close this section, and if you want to update any of the text, things like that. So let's say I go down here. I don't want to write, but I like this handyman website template. I can type that in there and click on save and Close. And now, the text I just wrote, I can see what I'm writing as I do it. It's really easy.

Now I have decided, okay, I don't want that text on my website anymore. I delete it, click save again, close, and then it's done. If I want that contact button, let's say right now, it links. If somebody clicks on it and links down to the contact form, let's say I want them to call me. If somebody clicks on it, I can go to choose. I can have it linked to another website, my website, or actions click to call. And if once you put your phone number in, your phone number will show up there and you will click save. Now it's a click to call. So if somebody clicks on that, it'll, and many people will look up a handyman on their phone. And come to this website on their phone. Now, when they click on the click to call when they click on Contact Us, it will call them immediately.

So that's a great little button to have there. And you can also add that to the navigation. Update any of this information about yourself. If you want to add any history or background, it's a nice spot to do it. And again, if you want to change out any of these images, you like something better. If you want to put a picture of yourself or some work you've done, you browse right here, and it'll replace this image with whatever you choose. But again, use any of these images if you want to change the services. So typical handyman services are listed here: door repairs, fixing, leaky plumbing, lighting fixtures, painting, exterior home upgrade, you know, all sorts of different things. If you do more than this, Adam, if you want to take a few off, then you're not comfortable with it, that's easy to do too.
