hey guys welcome back to my channel it's viva la ping5 so as you guys can see by the title
of today's video we are going to be creating a absolutely free website there are no hidden costs
to this website um we're going to be doing this in 10 minutes or less for me will probably be less
because i'm experienced with creating websites but this platform is made for regular everyday people
if this is your first time building a website then this platform is for you again it's absolutely
free so this website will be compared to like big cartel which is another free website host
but this website host is actually better because if you do choose to upgrade your website it's only
six dollars as to where if you upgrade on a big cartel it's going to be nine dollars and you're
not even able to post like unlimited products so let's get right into this tutorial so if
you guys want to connect your domain name to your website you're able to do that but if you
want it to be completely free then you can just use this type of domain name like the one that
i have here the house of glitters square site you can use that that's perfectly fine or you can buy
a domain name for as low as ten dollars for the entire year so we are going to go and get started
and i'm just gonna head over to edit website this is a completely new website that i just created
i have used this platform in the past when i used to sell hair but now i'm just going to show you
guys really quick how to set up a website so this is a blank slate you can literally choose
whether you want your instagram feed on here this is all completely free
if you're going to be collecting emails and have a contact form like this one if you're
going to be if you're going to be showing like i said your instagram feed if you're going to
be showing featured items you can all do that here on this free website as you guys can see
the header is here you guys can go ahead and upload your logo simple picture of your logo
you can customize that or whatever and then okay so we're done with header and then you have your
main banner here and this is where you can upload any image it would it could be your best seller
or it could be a nice nice visual you can put here anything like i said um i'm gonna see what
images i have on this computer i don't really use this computer for business because it's
a smaller computer so let's just say i wanted to use this let's just say this was a product
and i'm trying to put this product right there slap on the page so that would be the product
so as you guys can see you have different options here labels headlines if you wanted
to make this text like a button you could enable that and like say it was a picture of a necklace
so then you can put the name of the necklace and you put shop now and then you would
link the featured item whichever item you're going to be linking there you would put it here
in the featured item um let's go back we are done with the main banner um
if you if you want to change the site design which is going to be the colors you can go down to where
i just click the site design and you can pick the color that you want i chose this pink shade so i'm
just going to stick with that for now again you can always change it and then they have the color
styles like the one that i chose it has like the kind of transparent ish pink background so i can
go with a more vivid pink and then i could also do the pink on the white or i can also do the pink on
the black it's all up to you and how your brand aesthetic is my brand's aesthetic is like super
duper pink so i would go with this one here and then below you can choose the font that you want
any of those fonts are fine i would like to pick one that's um a bolder font okay so then you could
put your featured item here of course so when you're putting your featured item you're gonna
have to create an item just for the heck of the video we're going to create a item for you guys
this is a physical item i'll put i probably have pictures of resin guns on here so i'm gonna put
a resin gun and the price is gonna be 50
of course here you would put the description and then you would add images of your resin
on you see i have a picture of the resin gun right there so the picture is going to upload
okay
so we hit save and as you guys can see the image is there the product is there
so of course you would add more products more feature products there if you wanted to so
now that we have that selection done for the future products we are going to move down to
the instagram feed so of course you would connect your instagram let me do this really quick
i guess i'll just connect my instagram because that's what i have there
okay so my instagram is connected again this is my instagram so this is solely for the purpose
of this video if this was for your store then it would be your store your brand's instagram
this is just my instagram because that's what was logged in on this computer so your store's
instagram feed will show there if you don't want that then again you don't have to use that
so the contact form i think is well needed you can offer a coupon code to your customers
in this section here or just if they have any questions and if you want to collect the full name
or just the first name the last name you would fill that out there and also you put the message
and you can change the question like i said if you wanted to so yeah that's that now we
go down to the newsletter this is awesome for collecting leads and collecting people's emails
so you can have this hair and you can have it where you put like put in your email to get a 10
off coupon or something like that just to captures people's attention so then we have
the footer so in the footer you are going to have to create pages for your policy for your refund
shipping policy terms and service and also a about me page and that's not in here so we definitely
have to create these um as you guys can see this this is like the navigation if you want that there
the home so it would be like home and then makeup and whatever other products you have there
okay so now that we are done going over the basic features of having a website and building
a website we are going to go on to adding a page to do the sections that we need to do
at the bottom of the footer so we're going to go to page and as you guys can see they have a bunch
of pages here like i said you need a about me page add page to navigation of course so this is
going to be where you write a little um a little paragraph or sentences about your business and
what you're about you can even add your mission and then we're gonna also go back to pages and
we are going to do a blank page and you have to name this page and we're going to name it privacy
policy
and that is going to be a page so these pages have to be added when you have a website
it's absolutely crucial so make sure that you add these pages you don't have to add them to the
navigation if you don't want to but you have to have these pages so we're going to do the refund
policy so for the refund policy you can actually do the refund
policy and the shipping on the same page and now we are going to do blank page
terms of
service as you guys can see the pages are now at the bottom and you just press the navigation
and it goes on
you don't have to have the home page down there okay so once we do the privacy policy
we go ahead and do the same thing again and we want to add the terms of service to that
and then we also want to add not that one we want to add the refund policy
so when you're done that's going to look like that if you want to remove that from
if you want to remove those from the header you can go ahead and remove those from the header
okay so now that we remove those from the header this
is when you are gonna go in and create the pages that you use for your products
so we're gonna put blank page for me i'm going to put makeup
because i have a section for makeup and then we are also going to add
resin
and you're just going to keep doing this if you want separate pages if you don't want cyber pages
then you don't have to do this if you want your shop to be simple you can just have a shop page
and then just link everything on that page but i like my pages and my categories to be organized
so i'm going to put fashion so here we have it guys this is the basic way to set up a website
it's free it's super easy as you guys can see i just built that website super duper quick so you
have the home the about makeup resin whatever you sell up there and you want to put in categories
if you don't want to put it in categories you can always just put a shop button then you can
have your image here which is linked to also a product then you have your featured products you
can put your instagram feed on there you also have a contact form and then this is for the newsletter
when you want to send people emails again you want to collect emails to generate leads and sales and
then you have on the bottom the privacy policy terms of service and the refund policy you can get
the privacy policy and terms of service off of the internet just make sure you read it and customize
it to your company and your company's guidelines so yeah that's gonna be it for today's video you
