Thanks so much for joining me in this video today. If you've got a towing service and you're looking for an affordable, professional website to advertise your services, you've definitely come to the right place. Today, I'm going to be showing you how to build a simple and affordable website for your towing service on the Mighty Sites platform.
Now, if you haven't heard of Mighty Sites before, we pretty much built the platform to remove all the barriers for small businesses, solopreneurs, and people with various side hustles. With Mighty Sites, you can have a professional, effective, and easy-to-update website for only $9 a month. There is a free trial available for 7 days with no credit card details needed, so make sure you click on the link below this video to start that free trial.
Once you join the platform, the very first thing it will ask you to do is search for your market. We've got hundreds of different markets to choose from for various small businesses, and we are adding more markets every single week. Let's head to the top and search for our market, "towing service." There it is. I'm now going to go ahead and select that template.
Excellent. Let's start with a few basic details about our towing service so it can generate a simple website for us. Pop in your business name, your city, and your state or region. It doesn't matter where in the world you're operating from; you can enjoy the Mighty Sites service. We have happy users from all around the globe.
Now, once you click on that continue button, Mighty Sites will work its magic and generate a simple website for your business. It will bring up a popup showing you how to customize your new website in under 30 seconds. Don't worry about that for today because I'm going to be the one to show you around the platform.
The beauty of Mighty Sites is we've actually pre-written all the content for you. This is just a guideline, of course. We've also pre-selected all the images as well. They are all high quality and completely free for you to use. However, I'm sure you've got some of your own images, and maybe you want to make one or two amendments to that content to make it a little more personalized to your business. Let your customers know how you got into this industry and a little bit of background about your business.
You can make website changes; it's not too complicated. It's super simple. You don't need to know any website coding, you don't have to possess any kind of web development skills, and you certainly don't need to hire a web professional to help you with this either. You can literally do it all yourself, even if you're not that tech-savvy. It's literally easy enough to manage from your smartphone.
So let's get started. Let me show you around. I'm going to click on the first section at the top over here. I'm going to go ahead and put in a few basic details about my business contact details. Let's pop in our email address over here. I want to make sure that it's visible for my customers to see, so let's go ahead and check that box. Awesome. The phone number is click-to-call, by the way. And for the physical location, maybe you're a mobile towing service, but if you have a physical location, you can actually pop it in over here. When your website's live, your customers can actually click on that address and be taken directly to Google Maps for directions.
Now, underneath, update social links. If you are active on social media, go ahead and pop in the links in this section over here. Once you've done so, the icons for your social channels will be displayed at the top as well as at the bottom of your website, so your customers can give you a follow and get some engagement going.
If you have a business logo, head on over to the next section to upload it. Once it's been uploaded, you can crop it, rotate it, and add filters or frames by clicking on that little pencil icon over the logo. Otherwise, here on the right, once you click on save, you can make your logo bigger and smaller to fit into that section a little bit better and resize it.
Now, for the colors used throughout your Mighty Sites website, they have been pre-selected. However, do not fear; you can change them, and you don't need to know color coding. All you need to do is click on that little paint bucket in the bottom right-hand corner and go through the various color palette options available for you to use. There are so many options to choose from.
For each section you'd like to make a bit more personalized to your very own towing company, all you need to do is click on "update section." Underneath "update image" is where we can browse our device and upload our own images or search the photo library. There's literally 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 and automatically pull in those photos if you have an Instagram account, of course.
Underneath "update section," we have those call-to-action buttons where you can change the text on the buttons and where they link to. You can even upload a PDF file so when your customers click on that call-to-action button, it will download the PDF file that you've uploaded. In the last section at the bottom, this is where we've got a lead generation form for your customers' convenience, where your customers can all reach out to you. Now, keep track of all your leads coming in on your Mighty Sites dashboard.
Domains are super easy as well. If you have a custom domain, you can connect it by clicking on that yellow "connect a domain" button at the bottom. If you don't have a custom domain yet, we really recommend that you get one to make your website look even more professional, trustworthy, and stand out from all your competitors. Go ahead and click on that button as well. You can actually purchase a custom domain through the Mighty Sites platform as well; it's so convenient.
I really hope that short tutorial was helpful in building a simple website for your towing service on the Mighty Sites platform. I'm really wishing you and your business Mighty success. Don't forget to subscribe to our channel and give us the thumbs up.
