Getting Started
Once you’ve registered an account, the first step is to search for your market. Mighty Sites offers hundreds of different markets to choose from, covering various small businesses. For example, if you have a food truck, simply type in “food truck.” You'll find a range of templates like Burger, Mexican, or Pizza. You can also choose from general service business templates, retail stores, or restaurants. For this example, I’ll select the Burger Food Truck template.
Entering Your Business Details
Next, you'll need to enter a few basic details about your business so that Mighty Sites can generate a simple website for you. Provide your business name, city, and state or region. It doesn’t matter where in the world you operate from—Mighty Sites has happy users from all around the globe. Once you click the continue button, Mighty Sites will generate a simple website for your food truck or small business.
Customizing Your Website
Mighty Sites will automatically bring up a popup showing you how to customize your new website in under 30 seconds. Don’t worry, I’ll walk you through the process of making minor edits to each section.
Contact Information: Click on "Update Section" to enter your email address, phone number, and physical location. If you’re a mobile business, you can leave out the address. If included, your customers can click on the address for Google Maps directions.
Social Media Links: Under "Update Social Links," you can add your business’s social media platforms. The icons will be displayed at the top and bottom of your new website, allowing customers to follow you easily.
Business Logo: Upload your business logo by clicking on the pencil icon. You can resize it to fit better and make minor edits if needed.
Website Colors and Images: To change the colors used throughout your website, click on the paint bucket icon. There are various color palettes to choose from. You can also change images by uploading your own or selecting from the hundreds of free, high-quality images in the Mighty Sites photo library. If you use Instagram, you can connect your account and pull in photos directly.
Buttons and Links: To update the text on buttons and where they link to, use the "Update Section" option. For example, if you have a food truck, you can upload your menu as a PDF or link to online booking services like Calendly.
Business Hours: Easily enter your business’s opening hours. Once saved, they will be displayed on your website for your customers' convenience.
Connecting a Custom Domain
Domains are really easy to set up on Mighty Sites. If you’ve already purchased a custom domain, you can connect it with just a click. Mighty Sites uses Entri to make connecting your domain effortless—it practically does it for you.
