Once you've joined the platform, the first thing it's going to ask you to do is search for your market. At the top, we have hundreds of different markets to choose from for different small businesses, solopreneurs, and people with different side hustles. We are adding more markets every single week. So, I'm going to quickly head to the top, and I'm going to search for my market: snowboard shop. There it is over there. I'm now going to go ahead and select their template. Great!

Let's tell Mighty Sites a few basic details about our snowboard shop, so it can generate a simple website for us. I'm going to go ahead and put in my company name, as well as Master C and my state's origin. Now, it doesn't matter where in the world you're located; you can use the Mighty Sites service. We have happy users from all around the globe. Let's go ahead and change the type of business from restaurant to retail and click on "continue."

Great! How can our customers get in touch with us? I'm going to go ahead and put in my phone number over here, as well as my email address. Let's move along.

Awesome! Where is our snowboard shop located? I'm going to go ahead and put in my street's address, as well as my postal code, and move along.

Awesome! Let's get our hours set up. What time do we open on a Monday? I'm going to say we open from 9 am to 5 pm. We also open on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and a Sunday for all your snowboarding needs. Let's do a quick review; make sure everything's in order. But everything looks pretty good to me, so I'm going to move along. If you need to make changes, click on "update location" or "update hours."

Awesome! So, look at that, Mighty Sites has literally generated a simple website for my snowboard shop 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. They all are really high quality, and they're completely free to use. However, I'm sure you've got your own awesome images of all the fun gear and awesome products you stock in your snowboard shop, and you want to make one or two changes to that content that was pre-written for you. You can do that; it's super simple. So that's exactly what I'm going to be showing you today. I'm going to be walking you 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 simple it is to use. You don't need to know coding; you don't need to be a web developer, and you certainly don't need to hire a web professional to help you with this either. So let's get cracking.

I'm quickly going to scroll to the top, very quickly. There we go, and I'm now going to click on "update section" at the top. The first thing I'm going to do is check this box to display my email address on my website next to my phone number, which is "click to call" by the way. My physical location, my street's address, I've already put it in for my snowboard shop. It's displayed in the top left-hand corner, and when your customers click on that address, it will automatically take them to Google Maps to get directions to your physical location. Let's go ahead and save and head over to "update social links."

Now, over here, you can put in the various social media links that your snowboard shop is active on. Go ahead and put in all the links over here, click on "save," and the icons will be displayed at the top, as well as the bottom, so your customers can easily give you a follow, get some engagement going, and see what your business is up to.

Over here, I'm going to head over to "update logo." Now, if you don't have a logo yet because you're in the startup process of your business, Marty sites will literally just display your business name, and it still looks really great and professional. However, I do have a logo, so I'm going to go ahead, and I'm going to browse my device, and I'm going to upload it.

Now, if you don't have a huge budget for a graphic designer, I do recommend you check out canva.com. You'll find a few free grades options on the website. My logo has now been uploaded; however, I want to make some slight amendments. So I clicked on that little pencil over the logo. I'm going to ever so slightly crop this so it fits better into that section. You can add filters as well; you can decorate it, add a frame, zoom in, rotate it, flip it horizontally; lots of various tools for you to use here. Let's wait for that to re-upload. I'm now going to click on "save." We can make it bigger and smaller, but I think that sizing is perfect, so I'm going to go ahead and leave it.

Now, with Mighty Sites as well, we've pre-selected all the colors used throughout your website for you. We just wanted to make it as easy as possible when it comes to launching a website for your snowboard shop. However, perhaps your colors used on your business cards, on your logo, on the signage throughout your shop, it's a completely different one to this color over here. You don't need to know color coding; all you need to do is click on the handy little paint bucket on the bottom right-hand corner and go through the various different color palettes available. So I quite like this one, so I'm going to go ahead and save it. You can change it at a later stage if need be.

Let's move along. I'm now going to head to "upgrade image." If you've got your own images, browse your device and upload it. Otherwise, search through the photo library, hundreds of images to choose from, and they're all completely free to use. Now, Mighty Sites will automatically search for "snowboard shop," but I must say, you can play around with the words a little bit, the terms you're searching for, and find relevant images. So I'm going to search just for "snowboard" over here, and now I can find lots of suitable images. So I'm going to scroll through, and let's go ahead and click on that one. That looks pretty good to me. It's uploading. It's saved, and it's done. You can make amendments to this at a later stage.

Let's now head to "update content." Again, like I said, we pre-wrote everything for you as a guideline, but it's completely your own business, your website, and your snowboard shop, so go ahead and make those changes, personalize it, and make it a bit more relevant to you and your business. And that's it!

As you can see, Mighty Sites is the easiest way to create a simple website for your snowboard shop. Super affordable, only nine dollars a month, a seven-day free trial available, and you can launch your own website in less than a minute. Now, I know that this has been quite a lengthy tutorial, but I'm so excited to share Mighty Sites with you, and I really hope that you will join our platform, use it, and love it as much as I do.
