Now, we've got hundreds of different markets to choose from for various small businesses, solopreneurs, people with various side hustles. We are adding more markets every single week, so I'm going to head to the top, search for my market, nonprofit organization, there it is over there. Let's go ahead and select that template.

For now, I'm going to close that off because today, I'm going to be showing you the ropes.

Now, the beauty of Mighty Sites is we've actually pre-written all the content for you. We've also pre-selected all the images as well, they're all really high quality, as you can see. They're completely free for you to use as well. However, I'm sure you've got some of your own images you'd like to showcase, maybe make one or two amendments to this content, make it a little bit more personalized to your nonprofit organization. Today, I'm going to be showing you how to do that. You don't need to know any website coding or be a web professional in any kind of way, and you certainly don't need to hire anyone to help you with this either. You can literally do it all yourself. So let's get started. I'm going to make my way to the first section at the top, and I'm going to click on update section over here. I'm going to pop in my email address, and I want that visible on my website, so let's go ahead and check that box. Excellent, let's pop in our phone number, that is click to call by the way, and your address, physical location, maybe you are an online nonprofit organization, so you can leave this off, but if you have a physical location, you can pop it in over here. The great thing about it is when people visit your websites, when it's live, they can actually click on this address and be taken directly to Google Maps.

And update Social Links is where you can put in the various social media platforms you are active on. The icons will be displayed at the top as well as at the bottom of your website. If you have a logo for your nonprofit, get on over to the next section, browse your device, and upload it. If you want to make slight amendments to that logo, crop it, rotate it, add filters or frames, click on that pencil. Otherwise, click on Save. Here on the right is where you can make the logo bigger and smaller as well. Excellent, now with Mighty Sites as well, we pre-select the colors for you. If you'd like to change them, click on that pencil, I mean that paint back at bottom right and Corner, go through the various color options available for you to use. You don't need to know color coding at all.

Now for each section you want to make amendments to, click on that white update SE button underneath it. Under update images, where you can browse your device to upload your own images or search through the photo library, there's hundreds of free, high quality images to choose from. You also have the option to connect your Instagram account with a click of a button if you have one and pull in those images. And update actions, where we can change those qu to action buttons, the text on them, and where they link to. You can even upload a PDF file with more information, a brochure on your nonprofits. In the last section, we have a lead generation form where people can reach out to you with their queries or questions on your nonprofits. Keep track of all your queries and leads coming in in your Mighty Sites dashboard. If you have a custom domain, you can click on that yellow button

at the bottom to connect it. If you don't have a domain, you can also click on that button and actually purchase a custom domain by the Mighty Sites platform as well, to make sure your website looks even more professional, trustworthy, and stand out from all your other nonprofit competitors in your area. I really hope this tutorial was helpful in building a simple website for your nonprofits, and I'm really wishing you and your Business a Mighty success.
