Websites are the digital face of your business. They let you promote your brand and draw in potential leads by showcasing your products and services. Creating a website inside the CRM makes collecting information much easier. Here's how to get started.
Creating Your Website
To create a website, follow these steps:
Navigate to the Websites tab inside the Sites section and click "+New Website" to begin.
A popup window will appear. You'll be prompted to enter a Website Name or select a template to start building. For this example, we're starting "From Blank." Add a name to your website, then click Create.
📌Note: Your website's name is for internal identification only and is not visible to customers.
Click "+Add New Page" to create the first page on your website.
Give a name and path to your page then click Create New Page.
Click Create from Blank to access the builder.
Within the website builder, you can drag sections, rows, columns, and elements onto your page.
You can customise each element using the menu on the right, adjusting font, spacing, alignment, hyperlinks, and more.
Always save your changes before exiting the builder. Use the "eye" button to preview your page in the browser.
📌 Note: You can 'Clone' or 'Edit' your website for easier management and replication of designs.
Managing Your Websites
Once you've created a website, you can connect it to a domain and make it publicly available. To do this, head to the settings section of your website.
Select the domain you'd like to connect it to.
If you'd like to unpublish a connected website without deleting it, click "Remove" under the connected domain.
That covers the essentials of the website builder. Feel free to explore and try things out firsthand. If you'd like to learn more about its functionality, take a look at the related articles.
