So, let's get cracking building a website for our grocery store. Once you've joined the platform, it's going to go ahead and ask you to search for your market over here. There are hundreds of different markets to choose from. However, if you've just stumbled across this video and you don't have a grocery store, or you have another small business or side hustle and you can't quite find it listed here, do comment below and let us know, and we will make sure we add it.

I'm now going to head to the top and search for my market. I'm going to search for "grocery store", and there it is over there. I'm now going to select that template. Great! So, let's tell Mighty Sites a few basic details about our grocery store. I'm going to put in my company name: Rochelle's Grocery Store. I'm not gonna put in my city and my space origin. It doesn't matter where in the world you're located; you can use the Mighty Sites service. We have happy customers from all around the globe.

Let's go ahead and select the type of business. For this one, I'm going to select "retail" because I'm a grocery store and I have retail hours. So, I'm going to select that and click on "continue".

Great! Let's talk about a few more basic details. How can our customers get in touch with us? Let's go ahead and put our phone number in and our email address. Oops! Okay, let's click continue and move along. Where is our grocery store located? Let's put our street address and our postal code. Great! So, let's move along and click "continue".

Awesome! Let's get our hours set up. When is our grocery store open? So, I want my grocery store to be super convenient for everyone. We open really, really at hopper 7, 7:30 a.m., and we are very convenient, so we close at, I'd say, 9:30 p.m. We also open on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We open seven days a week. Let's click "continue".

Awesome! Let's review: is our location correct? And our hours? If there's any issues, go ahead and click on "update" – update location or hours. But everything looks good to me. I'm going to move along and click "next".

Awesome! So, there we go: Mighty Sites has literally generated a one-page website for my grocery store. All I had to do was put in a few basic details, and Mighty Sites with its magic and created a one-page website for me. Look at that! Now, the beauty of Mighty Sites is we pre-selected all the images. We've pre-written all the content for you to make your life as easy as possible when it comes to launching a one-page website for your grocery store. However, if the content needs to be amended, or images don't quite work for you and your business, you have your own images, or you want to select other ones, that's completely okay.

So, I said I'm going to be walking you through this process step by step, just to show you how easy it is to use Mighty Sites. You don't need to be a web developer; you don't need to have a huge project Sahara web developer. There's no coding required. You don't need to be super tech-savvy either. No, gone are the days where you need to know all of that coding, etc., to launch your own website.

So, I'm gonna head to the top, and I'm going to walk my way through each section, just so you can have a little bit of a look and feel of how the service works. I'm first going to click on "update section" at the top and click on "show email and site". So, my email address is displayed at the top right in the corner, linked to my phone number, that is click-to-call.

I'm now going to make sure everything's saved. The address is already put in – we did put it in on the previous screen. However, if you need to make amendments, go ahead and do that. It's now displayed on the top left-hand corner, and customers can click on it and be taken directly to Google maps for directions to my grocery store.

Let's click on "update Social Links". If your grocery store is active on social media, go ahead and put in the details over here. I'm gonna put in our Instagram page and our Twitter page. Feel free to give us a follow and let us know how the service is working for you. Social media icons are now displayed here in the top right-hand corner, easy to click on and be taken directly to your platforms to give you a follow, give you a like, and see what your grocery store is up to, perhaps posting your specials.

Let's go ahead and click "save and close". Now, perhaps the images or the colors that have been used throughout the websites that have been pre-selected for you – this royal blue, I guess you can say – it doesn't suit your branding. Perhaps your business cards and your branding throughout your grocery store is a completely different color. That's okay; we can change it. And you don't need to know color coding. All you need to do is click on the icon over here, the paint bucket, and go through the various different options available. Um, so I'm gonna go ahead and see which one is suitable for my... I really like that one, so I'm actually going to select that one and click on "Save". Go through the various color palettes available and see which one best suits your business.

I'm now going to click on "update section" over here and head to "update logo". If you don't have a logo yet because you're still in the startup process of your grocery store, that's okay. Mighty Sites will display your name, and it still looks really professional. However, go ahead and browse from your device and upload your logo. Let's go ahead and do that.

Awesome! Upload complete. Let's save it. Okay, now we can make it bigger and smaller. I'm going to make it slightly bigger. That looks really great. I'm gonna head to "save logo" and close it.

Now again, as I mentioned, all the images are pre-selected. They are royalty-free, no licensing involved. You don't need to pay for them; all you need to pay is the nine dollars a month for your Mighty Sites page. However, there is that free trial available for seven days. So, give it a go. You've got nothing to lose. Let's go ahead and update the images that have been pre-selected for us. Let's click on "browse" and upload our own image or choose one of the ones available. All of them are completely free to use, as I mentioned. I really like that one. It's got lots of fresh produce. Let's select that one and save.

We've pre-written all of the content for you and your business. If you need to make any amendments, just click on "update section", and you can edit the content over here. Now, this content is perfect for SEO – search engine optimization. So, when someone in your area is looking for a grocery store, your website will be pulled up by search engines such as Google, and your customers will be able to find you online.

Now, perhaps you have a bit of a side hustle going and you're selling some homemade jams or sauces, or perhaps you've got some special bread that you're selling on a Saturday. Go ahead and click on "update section" over here and put all the details in about your grocery store. Again, it's super easy to use. All the content has been pre-written for you.

Now, I'm gonna click on "update section" over here. If you have an e-commerce website, go ahead and add your URL over here. When your customers click on it, they will be taken directly to your e-commerce website to make a purchase.

Let's go ahead and click on "update FAQ". Frequently asked questions. If your customers have any questions, it's always best to have an FAQ section. If you don't have any at this stage, that's okay. Remove the section, and you can add it later. I'm going to put a couple of questions in, and I'm going to click "save and close".

Awesome! If your grocery store has reviews, it's always best to put them online to show potential customers how good your service is. Let's click on "update reviews". You can add your customer's name, what they said about your grocery store, and if there's a URL available for that review, go ahead and put it in. I'm gonna put a couple of reviews in over here.

Let's go ahead and click "save and close".

Awesome! Now, as you can see, Mighty Sites has created a one-page website for your grocery store. It's super easy to use, super affordable. All you need to pay is nine dollars a month.
