In the next 10 minutes I'm going to prove to you that it's possible to make a website
very easily for your business, blog, or eCommerce website.
That's right folks this is ground-breaking, because its so easy these days to create a
website by creating a template and using drag and drop to customize our website layout to
make it look exactly how you want.
You're looking at it right here.
You'll see other videos on YouTube demonstrating how to make a website with WordPress, with
Shopify, with SquareSpace, but I'm going to show you a different and more efficient method
if you don't have hours to spend.
Stick with me to the end folks because I'm going to give you a special bonus that's going
to make it even easier to finish your website before you go to sleep tonight, and I won't
put that in the description, so you'll just have to watch til the end.
You're looking at the final product right here so let's start making this website in
the next ten minutes.
The very first thing you need to do is scroll down, and under this videos there's a description,
click on the link in the description that takes you to our eMediaCoach site.
It's our checklist, or one-page cheat sheet.
Anything that's helpful for you we will add to this section here.
So just go to this page and click on one of the links to get a free Wix Account.
Or you can click on that link directly in the description below.
But the key is you need to land on this page with the hikers on it.
If you don't hit this page here you're going to be stuck and confused for the rest of this
tutorial.
So I'll give you a second, click on one of the links on the description and get to this
page.
Once you've done that click Start Now, Sign Up for a new account, click Sign Up.
You're going to get a welcome email in your email inbox but check your spam as well just
in case it ends up there, if it does right-click and mark as 'Not Junk' because they will send
you some important info in the further, So hit Sign Up when you're ready.
That will take you to this page.
Oka let's do it.
Actually click the Skip button down here, we're going to go straight into our dashboard.
We want to use Wix ADI, we don' want to use the editor.
ADI is the quickest way to make a website.
Enter the type of business that you have, and this works for anyone from a restaurant
to a consultancy to a freelancer to a designer, any type of business.
Let's just enter something in.
And go Next.
You've got a few more options, click any that are applicable.
Add your business name.
You can enter your address if you want to or just Skip and do that later.
Then you'll be asked to pick a style.
This is a color scheme.
You can change this later but lets click or select a color scheme for now.
Once you've done that it'll give you a couple of options to choose from, select one that
you like.
So, let's try this one.
This is of course changeable in the future, nothing is set in stone.
So there you go, there you have a ready built template that you can start managing.
You can hit the Publish button.
Publish and Continue.
And you can actually view your website.
This is actually currently live to the real world.
Now here is how to customize your website.
This is a basic theme or template but you can customize any one of these modules in
the way they all look and function.
Under 'Design;' you can change the Theme, you can change the colors associated with
the design, you can change fonts, and also different layouts.
So let's take this one for examples this bug image.
If I click on that I'll be able to disable the title from showing, or show that title,
show a description, or disable that subtitle or perhaps even edit and replace that image.
If I press replace here you can upload an image from your computer by uploading images
by clicking this button here, or you can select a free image from Wix, and what you can do
is come in here, search for something related to your business.
So let\s say its food.
And you can add that, and Apply.
Beautiful, that looks great!
Now say you want to change the color of text, hover over the text, hover over that thing
there and change the color.
Simple as that.
Perfect.
Very cool indeed.
So you can enable and disable modules like that.
You can also add a button and you can link that button.
So you can add a link to anywhere you want or any page or any web address that you want.
Usually it'll be a page on your website such as 'Your Services/ Obviously this is just
an example.
Each module that you see here is not set in stone either.
You can click on that module and you can go to 'Designs'.
You can customize the color, the text settings and other stuff, and also here are all the
other possible layouts for this particular module.
You’ve got so many options.
So let’s say we want that grid looking layout there.
Boom, done!
Now we can click on that and edit the text, to anything you want.
So as you can see is its completely customizable.
What we're using here is a template and customizing that template.
We can even click the + icon here and we can add a new module.
For example, lets add some photo galleries.
Let’s go to Gallery, Photo Gallery, and let’s add this thing there.
Now you can edit that gallery by clicking on that and replacing the media in that particular
gallery by dragging and dropping like you see there.
You've also got the option to change the layout of things like the Contact area.
If you click on Designs you'll see a few different options for the layout.
So select one that you like.
Perfect.
Now going back up, if you want to change the look of your header area, click on that, and
you'll be able to show or hide a logo.
So you can Edit and Replace, click Replace, and upload a logo from your computer.
That logo will upload, you click Done, you click Apply, and that gets shown over there.
If I click on that area again I can remove this business name so it doesn’t look messy.
And important I can also change the layout of this whole header area.
So clicking on that, clicking on Designs, here are the options I've got.
A big logo like that with the menu over here, something like this, or perhaps in the middle.
So maybe I'll try that.
Very cool!
Of course any time you want you can Publish and view your website.
For finishing touches I’m going to add a couple of new modules.
I might add a 'Clients' section.
Let’s throw that in there.
Perfect.
And I night also add some Testimonials.
So let’s see...
I think this one here looks quite good so I'll throw that in there.
So there we go, we've got a few more modules added to our website, and it looks really
good.
The next thing I’ll need to show you is how to ad a new page.
Go to Add, Add a New Page, you can choose from a pre-built template such as an About
page and you can choose one of the About designs, or you can choose from the Contact Page and
one of the Contact Page layout designs with the map potentially.
Or something like 'Clients' that you’ve worked on.
very very cool.
Just click on that, and that'll add a New Page and that page will appear in this dropdown
over here.
And if you want to rearrange your menu over here all you need to do is drag and drop like
this and that will change the layout of your menu as you start adding more pages to your
website.
So as you can see it's very easy to make a website and it doesn’t have to take long
or it doesn’t have to be complicated.
You can edit any new page in the same way you edited the homepage by clicking on any
particular module, replacing images, selecting or deselecting elements that you want or don’t
want to appear, or clicking on Designs, and changing the Layout based on all the pre-built
options available to you.
Now I need to go through an important piece in this video.
Right now when you Publish it comes up with a dirty looking URL over here.
The reason is you need to Upgrade.
If you’re a real business and you want your website to make money for you - remember your
website is not an expense and it should be a revenue generator - click on 'Upgrade',
you'll see a few different plans.
Most of them will be in the range of about $10-$12 USD a month.
I recommend this one here, Combo, or the Unlimited.
This one here displays ads so it’s not ideal.
The Combo is good enough for now, it has a low bandwidth and storage, but you may get
away with it in the short term.
This one you may get away with in the long term, it's perfect So if you want, choose
one of these, choose one you are comfortable with based on the features but I really recommend
you go-live ASAP.
Because once you go lice, Google will start indexing your URL and your website plus you
will have your own domain so it wont look like this - it will look like this (yourbusienss.com).
It will be professional and you will be able to use it in all your marketing material.
And again, your website needs to be making you money, it’s a revenue generator not
an expense.
So I highly recommend you upgrade straight away.
When you go into the Wix dashboard by clicking here, click on Site, and go to the Site dashboard.
And if you scroll down here you'll see that there is a section that will help you get
your own domain, get you found on Google, and these features are really only available
to take advantage of once you've got your own business web address.
Once you’ve got that Google will start indexing your website.
For example 'Accountants in Florida'.
People will be able to find you, contact you, find your website , contact you via the form.
Or you can also add your phone number in one of these sections as well, you'll get more
business coming to you.
But the key is to give Google time to index your website It doesn’t happen overnight,
it takes a couple of weeks to happen if not a month to happen.
So you really need to start publishing your website straightaway.
So there you go, I've given you an instructional video on how to make a website in under 10
minutes and I bet you didn’t think it was as easy or seamless or intuitive as that.
And your business will reap the benefits of all of that regardless if you’re a freelancer,
a contractor, a business that has a physical storefront, an eCommerce store.
Now like I promised I was going to give you a bonus at the end of this video now here
it is - if you go to the eMediaCoach sure that’s in the description below, just add
a -bonus to it.
Go to that URL.
There’s going to be a form on that page - if you get stuck with anything to do with
building your Wix website we will build or help you with that.
So fill out that form on that page that comes up, I'll set that up later I haven’t got
it ready now, we will personally help you with getting your business up and running
so you can start bringing in more customers and more clients So there you go, how to make
