How your website is built

Transcript

Stay chill. Your website isn't a template you fill in. Here's how it's built for your business, and why that matters.

It starts with a short brief. You say what your business does, and who it's for. You add your logo, your colours and a look. Then the pages are planned for your kind of business. And each one is written for you, even if you close the tab.

Your industry shapes the plan. It knows which pages you need. It knows what each section is for. It puts the one action that pays, like a call, a quote or a booking, on a button on every page. And it writes in the words your customers use.

Here's the real thing. Every website you make sits here, with where it stands.

Open one, and its overview shows what's left: the pages, a preview, publishing, and going live.

Pages lists every page, with its version, and whether it's a draft or published.

Open a page, and you change its words, pictures and layout right on the page, inside your own header and footer.

Each save is a new version, and History keeps them all. Publish, and that version is what visitors see.

Every page is planned for your kind of business. Every save is a version you can go back to. And nothing is public until you publish it.

That's how your website is built: from your brief, in your brand, and changed right on the page. Next up: see how your website goes live, and onto your own domain. Don't freeze up!
