happy holidays happy whatever you
celebrate get cozy sit by the fire
have a drink be sure to tell the ones
you love that you love them too
that is not the reason that we're here
the folks from Wix reached out see if I
could help teach people how to build a
website in fact when I went to build
technobuffalo com
I knew so little about having to build a
website we burned through eighty percent
of our startup capital based only on my
ignorance the company almost didn't
launch because I didn't know how to
build a website i have a whole video detailing
technobuffalo story and the mistakes that
I made building a website we will link to it
up here and down below if you want to
watch, but the moral is it's now almost 20 17
is like a bajillion times easier to
build a website and using the tools the
folks at Wix offer it is dead simple
in fact i went in and even built my own
website in about 25 minutes just showing
a gallery of pictures and a blog that I
made showing some stuff for my new car
the model x which we did a video on to
you can take a look at that but I wasn't
just gonna make a video showing you how
to make a website which I promise that I
will I thought it would be kind of
cooler to not only show you that but
also to give you a chance to win your
freaking dream phone whatever phone you
have dreamt that exists at least
that's like out you can win it you can
pick and iphone a pixel whatever you
want and whatever color you want and
whatever storage size you want and again
we teamed up with the folks from Wix who
sponsored this video we're going to give
you a chance to win We will put all the
details right here on the screen the
dates if you want to enter them make
sure you get the link down below and go
the article on technobuffalo.com that's
where the widget to enter is going to be
so win your dream phone cuz i don't
know you should win something fun
because you are a good person
now if you're continuing watching you want to
know how to build a website so first
thing to do is grab your computer with
mediocre battery life in this case we'll
just grab this one
alright so let's get started showing you
how to build a website I'm going to do
that by showing you the website that I
built this again took me about 15 to 20
minutes
this is the first website that i had
built using the tools from Wix and it
was super simple i could probably cut
about 10 minutes out of that next time
so i created a blog style with galleries
and pictures but you can create a ton of
different sites and i'll show you what
all those options are so real quick meet
the Model X it automatically pulled in
all my social stuff that i inputted when
I set up the site in the upper
right-hand corner with the links icon
pack and everything. I was able to put
in my own background gallery a cool
kind of parallax effect i set a learn
more button will take you to
technobuffalo.com if people want to
contact me and i should say also this site is
live if you want to watch it and take a
look at yourself i'll link to it down
below so you can see it i did a little
story about my delivery of the car
this is our video that I talked about it'll
play actually in line with the blog
and i wrote a post and it also will automatically
integrate comments built into the
website you can add things to it you can
do emails you can add analytic tools
you can put in ads, it is a full-featured
website it's not like website light or
only a partially functional website it is
like a legit full website does
everything full websites can do you can
take bookings if that's something you
want to do you could sell stuff again
it's like literally a click of a button
so i put in a gallery here and the
simple as hitting an upload button you
can see it's a beautiful like fullscreen
gallery title show up at the bottom it's
a very elegant way things were set
up and Wix made it really simple so the
site that i built here is a fraction of
what you can actually do in the stuff
you can build let me jump into the
editor fast chasing the cool stuff that
I could have done and what the editor
looks like so when you build your site
you know the power of the tools so you
can see each page is here and as you
scroll through each page you get an edit
button which lets you edit the content
on top of the list on the side the title
subtitle any text you want if you want
to switch your image or go to a gallery
you've uploaded or even do a video which is
kind of cool to see a sort of gradually
move
in the background and also if you want
to put a link in is really handy but
beyond that if you want to move the
pages around you have that option as
well three little dots show up on the
right for more actions and if you keep
scrolling down to teach one does go to
move and I can actually move it anywhere
I want which is a kind of a cool option
to be able to have so i can select the
page in the list and just go ahead and
drop it down but the easiest way to edit
is to go through this playlist actually
and go through step-by-step so you can
preview your site entire website design
change website colors and go all the way
down until your site is built. Let me jump
into one of these here. Let's change website
colors let's say i don't really like the
blue and the white that I've got here so
you can either do it for me or show me
how
so let's say, lets have it do it for me, makes
life a lot easier so they're going to
open up the design panel and this is all
happening
I'm not touching anything here this is
all doing it on its own and it is going to take the
pictures that I've got and it's gonna
match the theme right to it
so let's try another I'm not the peachiest
kind of guy but you can see how easy it
is to do
alright that I like that looks really
slick so let's keep that you go through
and you can change the section layout
contents and add new sections but i'm gonna
close this I kind of like the way this
looks think it looks really clean so
I've got a blog here as well and a blog
might be something you guys want to have
whether it's about your technology or your
life or the food that you eat Wix
made it really easy to manage a blog and
not just sort of the whole website hit
the button says quite simply manage blog
this is going to take you to your CMS
your content management system again
they made it dead simple so i can see
all my posts here I could arrange them
If I've got different categories they are going
to be viewed here. If I want to go ahead and
add tags I can add it here as well
let's go look at the first post this is my
delivery experience you can see what
this looks like
so if you want to share it going to
duplicate it deleted it, or just want to see
what it's going to look like.
Lets edit. This is were you're gonna be able to
go ahead and actually get into the
editor edit your post and add tags
The advanced SEO is really helpful to its
going to show you what they look like on
google so you can see my delivery is
the title of the post on the blog and
the name of the site is Tesla 1 the
excerpt that google is going to crawl
the Meta Description all the stuff that
you would need to make sure people can
find you
Wix put those tools directly in front
of you and sort of makes it really simple
so if you don't know anything about SEO
those tools are here for you i think a
lot of you are probably going to be
looking for that blog functionality so
again super simple to go ahead and your
pages let's say I want to change this
background i really like the
black-and-white theme it suggested for
me but I'm not sure I like that picture
so i'll go ahead and hit edit again
here's all of my content i could view
the gallery that I went in and uploaded
and also Wix is going to give me a ton
of choices as well go ahead gallery I
can organize my media is going to be the
new files i've uploaded but I want to
try a video background there now I don't
have a video uploaded by going to
replace it with a ton of different
choices I want to show something kind of serene
and I've got a picture of the car
previously so that might not be necessary
but i think that maybe a city and urban
will be kind of cool because that's where the cars gonna
be driven i'm going to hit apply there. Think
that looks pretty good to me let me go
and preview that preview button lives
right in the upper right-hand corner now
see as I scroll down there's that video
i just did now it looks like I've been
coding for years that video just
seamlessly plays and as you scroll
disappears you can see how simple it is
to go through and edit the site Wix
can do things like email addresses
already have a domain, you can link it with
your domain so you don't see any of the
brought to you by Wix or if you want to
use a Wix URL you can do that as well
you can add ads again you can add
analytics you can add traffic boosting
options you can add SEO packs you can do
everything you can do with a very complex
website with no coding skills required
at all it's really simple really elegant
easy to use the pricing is super affordable
i did the totally unlimited sites for i think
like 239 bucks a year. A side from the unlimited
there are a ton of other pricing options as well
and there should be a tier for whatever you
need
and I think it's absolutely worth it if
I had something like this and i created
technobuffalo my life would've been a
lot simpler and a lot easier. So if you've been thinking about
doing a website creating website for
anything now is a really good time to do
it. Again all the links will be down below if you
