Once you've joined the platform, the very first thing that's going to ask you at the top is to search for your market. We have hundreds of different markets to choose from for different small businesses, solopreneurs, people with various side hustles. We are adding more markets every single week as well. So, I'm gonna head to the top and search for my market: bricklayer. There it is over there. Now, I'm going to go ahead and select that option. Awesome!

Let's go ahead and tell Mighty Sites about a few basic details about our business, so it can generate a simple website for my business. I'm gonna go ahead and put in my company name, as well as the city and my state of origin that I operate in. And it doesn't quite matter where in the world your business is located. You can enjoy the Mighty Sites service. We have happy users from all around the globe. Awesome! And look at that! Mighty Sites literally took all that information and generated a simple website for my business 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. We've also pre-selected all the images as well. They're all really high quality, and they're all completely free to use. However, I'm sure you've got some amazing images of all the different projects you've completed, and you want to showcase them on your website. You can do that! It's super simple to make amendments. 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 going to click on the free section at the top and go ahead and put in my company email address. I want to make sure, underneath that email address, the box is ticked to display the email address on my website, so customers can easily reach out. Let's go ahead and pop our phone number in, and that is click-to-call by the way. I'm now going to go ahead and put in my physical location, my street address, if I have one. The great thing about that physical location is when your customers click on it, when your website's live, it will automatically take them to Google Maps. And just update!

Social Links is where you can put in the various links for your social media platforms. Icons will be displayed at the top of your website as well as at the bottom. Now, with Mighty Sites, as well, we've pre-selected all the colors used throughout your website for you. If you want to change it, go ahead and click on the little paint bucket on the bottom right-hand corner. Go through the various color palettes available for you to use. They're all completely easy. You just literally select the color, and we are adding more color palettes every single week. And you can change it if you wish in the first place. Awesome!

Now, with Marty Sat, as well, you can update your logo to display on your website. Go ahead and browse your device and upload your logo if you have one. If you don't have a logo yet, maybe you recently launched your business. I do recommend you check out canva.com. The logo has been uploaded. If you want to make minor edits, to crop it, rotate it, zoom in, add filters, go ahead and click on the little pencil. For now, I'm going to proceed to save it, and we can make it bigger and smaller on the right.

Awesome! Now, for each section you want to make amendments to, click on "Update Section" directly underneath it and head on over to "Update Image". If you've got your own images, browse your device. Otherwise, search through the photo library, hundreds of images to choose from, all completely free for you to use. Under content is where you can change the pre-written content to suit your business needs. Buttons can all link to various places. You can link to another website if necessary. You can link to an action or upload a PDF file, which is a great option to upload a brochure or catalog of your different services. Look at that! It's looking so fantastic.

Now, in the last section over here, the lead form is where your customers can reach out to you. All they need to do is put in their details, click on send, and you will get notified by your registered email. You have a new lead via that form. You'll also find all your leads over in your Mighty dashboard, which I'm going to take you to in just a second. Now, if you have a custom domain for your business, go ahead and say, "Connect Your Domain". Click on the button, say "I already have a domain". If you don't have a domain needs and you want to make your website look even more professional, go ahead and click on "Own to New Domain" because you can now purchase your domain via the Mighty Sites platform. Over here, you're in your Mighty dashboard. Under the leads is where you can view the leads coming in from that form at the bottom.

I really hope this tutorial was helpful in building a website for your bricklaying business. Really wishing you and your business Mighty success.
