Hi everyone. Today I'm going to show you how to make a simple professional website for a locksmith. It's only $9 a month to use this platform. It has all types of different small business website themes. So today, we're going to use the locksmith one. So I'm just going to go to Mighty Sites. Search for a locksmith. Here it is. So I found the template. Again, this platform's easy to use. It's only $9 a month. I'm going to type in the locksmith business, and then you would just put your company's name there, Denver, Colorado. And then let's do the business type. This is a service business because you're providing a locksmith service. Click continue. As soon as I do that, it will automatically generate a simple professional website template for my business. As I scroll through here, it's got all of these images already pre-licensed for me to use as a contact form to generate leads.

Generate The Locksmith Website Template

I can change the colors right away. So if I want to change it to a blue theme, or I like a navy blue color palette or green. It depends on what type of branding I have for my business. I can easily go through the different templates and select the one that makes the most sense for my business. So I'll stick with this red and black one for now. Or you know what? I wanted to try another template too. We had a pretty cool theme here, which was the black-and-white theme. So again, I can thumb through and find the theme that works best for me and then start making edits. So you can see here now that I've got a professional website, a simple professional website for my locksmith business. I'm going to make some basic updates. So I want people to be able to contact me. I will add my email address here and have it shown on the website. I'm going to add my phone number.

Add Contact Information and The Logo For Your Locksmith Business

I was going to add that too. Save those close. Now my email and phone number are shown on the site. I can also go over here and add my social media link. So if I have like a Facebook page, type that in here. And then, you could copy and paste your link to your Facebook page. And now my Facebook page is included as well. I can go over here. I can add new menu items easily. type to add them, choose where it links, and add them to my menu. Go over here and update my logo at any time too. Update my business information. So if you don't have a logo, check out canva.com. It makes it easy to create a logo. So I go over here, click on a logo, and then let's see what they have for the locksmith. Here we go. They have a pre-made template for the locksmith, so that's cool. I'm going to type in the locksmith logo, and then I'm going to download this as a jpeg because that's the better file type for websites. So I'll go over here, browse, and here's my locksmith logo. I'm going to upload that.

And now, as soon as it uploads, I can choose to save it. And then, I can either make it bigger or smaller, depending on what I need to do. And I'm going to click on this pencil icon. And I'm going to scroll this down, scroll this up, and put this together. So this image and logo editing software is built right into the platform. So you can add filters, annotate, decorate, or add frames, and do all types of things to any logos or images you add to the site. I wanted to crop the logo. And once I do that, I will save it again. And there we go. So the logo, the logo's a little bigger now. It looks a little better. So now you can see my logo. But again, I can make it smaller. I can make it bigger.

Play around with different logos too. The buttons are really easy to use. So now I've got this going. You can see here now that I'm at the hero image, so that I can do a bunch of different things here. If you want people to like to view your prices for services, you could upload a pdf that has your prices on it. That could be why your call to action button is here. View our prices. Or you could go over here and change this to call now because many of your customers need services. You can change this action button actually to call your business right away. So now, if somebody's on their phone and they come to my Locksmith business website and click on "call now," it'll call my business.

Generate Leads For Locksmith Services Through Your Website's Contact Form

And the other thing you could do is have that go to your lead form, which I'll show you for the other form. So you can also edit any of the text for the hero image. So you say, like repairing all types of locks. So maybe repairing locks and vehicles. Something like that. Or let's say pairing. You may specialize in vehicle locks. 24-hour emergency service if that applies. Or you can say even something like fast service and reliability. So you can edit the main hero on your website too. So that's easy to do. You can go down here to contact us, and you could have that, you know, again, link to call you, or if you want, you can have that link down to the lead form section.

Edit The Call-To-Action Buttons

So I'll confirm and save it. And now, if somebody clicks on Contact Us, it brings them right here to submit themselves as a lead for your business. You can also edit any about sections or browse and upload new images. So I'll put here that this is how you make a website for a locksmith. And I'll save that and close it. So now that's included there. That's super easy to do. When somebody needs your services, they can also fill out this form here. So I'll add my name, aim for my email address, and then send a message. I need help with a lock. And then I'll click send. And now, as the customer, I'll get this little message here saying thank you.

Connect Your Domain and Launch Your Website

Then, if I stop editing, you, as the owner of the website, can see what the website looks like without those update buttons. Excellent professional, clean website for your business. And if I go to the site dashboard, I can see that lead that just came through, too, so I can see their name and contact information and give them a call and help him out. Now you can also connect a custom domain. So I can go right here. You use google domains, GoDaddy domain.com, or any of those. Just go in and paste them right here, and you can connect them back to your website. This little wizard will provide you with instructions to provide your registrar too. It's really simple and easy to do to connect your domain to your website. So, if you ever want to go back and make edits, it's easy to do right here, but it's only $9 a month.
