Once you join the platform, the first thing it's going to ask you to do at the top is to search for your markets. We have hundreds of different markets to choose from for different small businesses, solopreneurs, and people with various side hustles, and we are adding more markets every single week. So, I'm gonna head to the top quickly, and I'm gonna search for my market: grill store. Let's go ahead and do that. Excellent, there it is. I'm now going to go ahead and select the templates. Awesome!

Let's tell Mighty Sites a few basic details about our business so it can generate a simple website for us. I'm going to go ahead and put in my company name, Master C, and master state's origin. For any store, it doesn't matter where in the world your grill store is located; you can enjoy the Marty site 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.

And look at that, Mighty Sites has literally generated a simple website for my grill store in not even a minute. Let's take a closer look at what it's come up with together.

Now, the beauty of Mighty Sites is we've pre-written all the content for you as a guideline, of course, and we pre-selected all the images as well. They are all really high quality, as you can see, and they're completely free to use. However, I'm sure you've got some amazing images of all the different products you stock in your store for grilling. You want to showcase them on your website, and you can do that. You can make amendments to the content too and the colors. So, today, that's exactly what I'm going to be showing you. I'm going to be making my way 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 easy it is to use. Now, you don't need to know coding, you don't need to be a web developer, and you certainly don't need to be a web professional either. No coding necessary. So, let's keep cracking making some amendments.

I'm going to make my way to the first section at the top and go ahead and put in my company email address, as well as my phone number. For any, I want to make sure this box is ticked to display my email address on my website. Let's go ahead and put in our phone number, and that is click to call, by the way. Address, let's go ahead and put in our physical location, our street's address. The great thing about that physical location displayed at the top is, when your customers click on it, it will automatically take them to Google Maps to get directions to your physical location.

Let's move along and head over to update Social Links. Now, over here, we can put in the various social media platforms that our business is active on. Icons will be displayed at the top as well as the bottom of your website over there, so customers can easily give you a follow, get some engagement going, and see what your business is up to. Awesome!

I'm now going to head over to update logo. If you don't have a logo yet, I do recommend you check out Canva.com. You'll find a few free great options on the website. The logo has been uploaded, but I do want to make sure it fits really well into the section over here. So, I'm going to go ahead and click on the pencil. I'm gonna crop my image ever so slightly. You can as well add filters, you can decorate it, add frames, zoom in, rotate, flip it, etc. Let's go ahead and re-upload the cropped version of our logo. Click on Save. We can make it bigger and smaller, but I think that sizing is absolutely perfect, so I'm going to go ahead and leave it as is.

Now, with Mighty Sites as well, we've pre-selected all the colors used throughout your website for you. Basically, we wanted to make this easy as possible when it comes to launching and running a website for your grill store. Maybe these colors don't quite go with your business cards, your signage, your logo, and you want to change it. Click on the little paint bucket on the bottom right, and corner, go through the various color palettes available for you to use. Awesome! I think I want something quite... that works really well for my grill store, so I'm gonna go ahead and select it. I can change it at a later stage.

Let's head on over to update image. Over here, we can browse our device and upload our own images. Otherwise, search through the photo library; hundreds of images to choose from, all completely free to use. We'll automatically search for grill store; however, play around with the terms a little bit, try different keywords and see which images pop up that are suitable for you. Awesome! Lots of fantastic images here. I'm gonna go ahead and try this one out. See how that looks. Let's check it out. That looks fantastic! I'm gonna go ahead and leave it and head over to upgrade content.

Now, over here, go ahead and change the content if need be. The button currently says "contact us today". You can change it, but I'm going to go ahead and leave the text on that button. Go ahead and choose the link. We can link to another website if need be; we can link to an action like click to call, directions, or click to email. I'm going to go ahead and link to click to email. You can as well upload a PDF file. Maybe a great way for you to upload your current promotions or offerings in PDF format to that button.

Over here, we've got, again, some pre-written content, button can link to various places. Click an update section and work your magic. We've now made our way into the next section, the broader section. Over here, you can put a little bit more details about your store: how it came to be, how you got into this industry. Maybe it's a family-run business, for example. Do you offer competitive pricing? What kind of products do you stock? Who is running the show in your store? Maybe you could put a photo of the team over here. Your customers would love to hear your story.

We've now made our way into the services section. Over here, you can put a little bit more detail about the different services or the products you offer. Do you stock grills and smokers, wood, charcoal, barbecue accessories, aprons, maybe sauces, spice and rubs to accompany all the other items in your store, cookware, and cutlery? Go ahead and put all the details over here, so your customers know what they can come to your store for and what they can rely on you for.

Over here, if you need to add your trading hours for your business, go ahead and click on upgrade hours and put in the various trading hours for your business, so it is displayed on your website. It's always great for your customers to know. Let's check it out and see those hours. Awesome! So you can go ahead and put in your other trading days you're active on, so it will be visible on your website.

If you have a custom domain for your business, click on connect your domain. Say I already have a domain, go through the various steps, and linking it. If you don't have a domain, you click on our "want a new domain" because you can now purchase your domain via the Mighty Sites platform.
