Get started

Build and publish your first site.

Create your account

Open Create an account and sign up with your email. Your account comes with a team of its own, and you're its owner.

We email you a link to confirm your email. You can start building right away, and you'll need to confirm it before you publish.

Choose how to start

Open New site and say what you do, where, and who for. Rough notes are fine. Add your business name, phone, email or booking link if you'd like them on your site, then choose Build my site.

On Google already? Choose Google page, paste any link to your business on Google Maps or Google Search, or type its name and town, and check it's yours before building. Have a website? Choose Clone to reuse a page's content and section order, or Enhance to give its content a fresh layout, and paste its public link.

Not sure what to write? Describe your business has tips for your own brief.

Watch it get built

You can leave the page while it builds. You'll see each step as we read your notes or source page, choose your sections, write your words and create matching artwork. Your first version arrives with its images in place.

Building usually takes 10 to 15 minutes. We email you when your site is ready, or if it couldn't finish. You can turn these emails off in your profile.

Make it yours

When it's ready, read it through. Ask for design or wording changes in Changes, correct your facts in Details, or replace, remove and add images in Visuals, where you can also upload your logo and browser icon. See Ask for changes.

Publish

Choose Publish, pick your web address and publish your site. See Publish your site.
