How do I get started with a website builder?

A website builder is a great tool to build your website, and at one.com, we have built our very own Hatch Digital Website Builder. It’s easy to get started. Before you can get starting building your website you will need to choose a hosting plan and register a domain name.

After completing your order, you can start using the Website Builder immediately. If you want to try it out first, we also offer a free 14-day trial.

When using the Website Builder, you will need to complete 6 simple steps before you can hit publish.

Log in to the Website Builder.
Log in to your one.com control panel and select Website Builder.
Choose and edit your template.
The first thing you will need to do is choose your template and customise it to your liking.

Add pages and edit components, such as text and images.
Once you are happy with the design of your website, you should create pages and fill them with content. You can easily drag components like text boxes, images and buttons to position them where you want them to be.
Remember to save your work.
Save, save, save! That way if something happens, you will not lose all your hard work.

Preview.
You can preview your website before it goes live, using the ‘preview’ button.
Publish.

Once you’re satisfied with how the preview looks, and you’ve gone over our one.com checklist before publishing a website, you can go ahead and publish your site.

That’s it! Now you understand what a Website Builder is and how it works. You’re half-way there. Your next steps are to get started.
