Once you've joined the platform, it's going to go ahead and ask you to search for your market. Over here, we have hundreds of different markets to choose from for different small businesses, solopreneurs, and people with side hustles. So, I'm gonna hit the top now, and I'm going to search for my market: video game store. And there it is! I'm now going to select their template. Awesome!

Let's tell Mighty Sitess a few basic details about our video game store so it can generate a one-page website. I'm now going to put in my company name, as well as my city and my state's origin. It doesn't matter where in the world you are; like I said, you can use the Multi-Soft service. We have happy users from all around the globe. Let's go ahead and change this type of business from restaurant to retail and click on continue.

Great! List so much is a few more basic details. What is our... how can our customers get in touch with us? Whoops! I'm now going to go ahead and put in my phone number, as well as my email address. Let's click continue. Where is our video game store located? Let's go ahead and put in our street's address, as well as our postal code. I'm now going to click on continue.

Great! Let's get our other set up. What time do we open on Monday? I'm going to say we're open from 8:00 am, and we close at 5 pm. We also open on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. I'm going to say we close on a Sunday. Closed.

Awesome! Let's do a quick review. Let's make sure everything's in order. If you need to make amendments, head to upgrades, hours, or location, but everything looks pretty good to me. So, I'm gonna move along.

And there you have it! Mighty Sites has literally generated a one-page website for my video game store. Let's take a closer look. Awesome!

So, the beauty of Multi Sauce is we've prewritten all the content for you, and we've pre-selected all the images. You can see they're very high quality. However, if you need to make amendments, perhaps you've got your own images of your video game store, and maybe you need to make one or two changes to the content that's pre-written, you can do that. It's really easy; you don't need to know coding, and you don't need to hire a web developer to help you or even know any web developing skills yourself. It's super simple.

So, I'm going to walk you through the top to the bottom, through each section, just so you can have a little bit of a look and feel of how the service works and how easy it is to use. I'm first going to click on "update section" at the top and click on "show email on site". My email address is now displayed in the top right-hand corner, next to my phone number, which is click-to-call, by the way. My email, my physical address, sorry, is located on the top left-hand corner, and the great thing about it is my customers can click on it and be taken directly to Google Maps so they can get directions to my video game store. Let's head to "update Social Links".

I'm now gonna put in our Instagram page. Feel free to give us a follow and let us know how you are enjoying the Multi-Site service. There is an option for LinkedIn, YouTube, and Facebook as well, and the icons will be displayed here in the top right-hand corner. Let's move along.

Over here, I'm now going to hit the "update section" and head to "update logo". If you don't have a logo yet, I do recommend you check out the canva.com website. There are a few free grace options there. However, if you already have your own logo, go ahead and browse from your device and upload one.

Awesome! Let's make sure that's saved, and let's move along. We can make it bigger and smaller, so I'm going to make it slightly bigger, save my logo, and move along.

Now, perhaps the colors used throughout your multi-size page that have been pre-selected for you, I guess you can call this like a teal, greeny-blue color, and perhaps your branding is a completely different color. You don't need to know color coding. All you need to do is click on the paint bucket on the bottom right-hand corner and go through the various different color options available to you.

Let's check it out. Let's see this one... no, not quite. I really like that one. Let's have a look at a few more options. Let's take a little bit more... that looks great, that also looks great, so I think I'm gonna go with the orange. I think that looks awesome. I'm gonna save that one and move along.

Now, as I said, we've prewritten all the content for you. Images are pre-selected, and they're all high quality, and they all are completely royalty-free. You can use them; there's no licensing needed for them. But if you need to make amendments, head to "update section" and head to "update image". Now, if you have your own images, go ahead and browse from your device and upload it. Otherwise, search the photo library; there are hundreds to choose from. Mighty Sites also automatically searches for a video game store, but play around with the terms a little bit. So, let's put in "video game" and see what comes up.

Let's check it out. Awesome! So, I think I'm gonna go ahead and select this one over here. I'm now going to select that photo and save my image selection. Let's see how that looks. That actually looks pretty good, so I'm leaving it as is. I'm now heading to "update contents", and over here, you can change the title and subtitle to suit your needs. The button can link to various places, so perhaps you don't want to say "get directions", let's put it as "get in touch". Head over to "choose link", we can link to another website or another part of our multi-size page in action, which I'm going to link to click-to-call, but another one of my favorite options is the PDF file. So, you can upload maybe a catalog of all the different titles you have in stock. Maybe you have some promotions running, pop it in a PDF file, and upload it over there.

Let's go ahead and click on confirm and save and move along. Awesome! On to the next section, over here we have a summary of our location, so the location that we put in earlier on. It's automatically populated for us. You can see that it's linked up to Google Maps and automatically provides the opening hours for us.

Let's move along to our next section. And again, we have pre-written all the content for you, but if you want to make a few changes, go ahead and hit "update section" and "update content". You can change the title, as well as the paragraph text, and I think that's looking pretty good, so let's move along.

Awesome! Now we're onto the next section, which is some beautiful looking imagery and some icons. We have images in the background that you can change, and you can also change these icons and text as well. Go ahead and click on "update section" and then "update content". If you want to change the image in the background, select the image you'd like, click "choose" and then "save". If you want to change the icons, simply choose the icon you'd like, and click "save".

Alright! Let's move on to the next section. Again, content is pre-written for you, but you can change it to suit your needs. Click on "update section", "update content", and adjust as you see fit. And that is looking pretty good to me, so I'm going to move along.

Great! Now we're onto the next section, and we have another image in the background and some more icons. I'm going to show you how easy it is to change these images, so let's go ahead and click on "update section", "update image", and let's go ahead and select another image. And there we go! Let's move along.

Next, we have some more information about our video game store. Again, this is pre-written for you, but you can change it to suit your needs. Click on "update section", "update content", and adjust as you see fit. And that's looking pretty good to me, so I'm going to move along.

Alright, we're onto the last section, and we have a call to action. Again, you can change the content to suit your needs, but it's all pre-written for you. Click on "update section", "update content", and adjust as you see fit. And that's looking pretty good to me.

Now, one last thing I want to show you before we finish up is how easy it is to preview how your site will look on mobile. Click on the mobile icon at the bottom, and there you have it! You can see how your site will look on mobile devices. And when you're happy with how everything looks, simply click on "publish", and your site will go live.

And there you have it, folks! That is how easy it is to use the Mighty Sites platform to build a one-page website for your video game store. It's a fantastic platform, super affordable, and very user-friendly. I hope you found this tutorial helpful, and if you have any questions, please leave them in the comments below.
