Get started with Website
Start Website, make your first website from a ready-made look, publish it and find your way around the menu.
Ellibo Website builds your business website. You pick a look, change the words and pictures by typing on the page, drag in the blocks you need and publish. It runs on the same sign-in and the same business as your other Ellibo apps, so a form on your website can become a lead, a ticket or a job application by itself.
Start Website
Open Website from All Apps and choose your business, or create one. The business owner starts it and becomes its Admin. Every new business gets a 14-day trial with every feature, for up to 5 users, 2 websites, 5 GB of pictures and files and 1 own domain. No card, and no other app has to be started.
Make your first website
- Click New website (or follow the box on Home if you have none yet).
- Type your business name and choose what kind of business it is. This picks a fitting look and the first pages.
- Choose a look. You can change it at any time under Design > Theme & colours.
- Website makes your pages - for example Home, About us and Contact - with your business details already in them.
- Open a page, change the words and pictures, and click Publish.
Your website opens at yourname.ellibo.com straight away. If that name is taken it opens at yourname-site.ellibo.com. See Addresses and your own domain.
Each online store already is a website, and it shows in your list of websites. You don't need to make another one. Until you turn on Show my store inside my website for it (Websites > the store's card), the store keeps its own Ecommerce pages and look, so changes made in Website don't show at its address. See Your store inside your website.
Your first hour
Home > Getting started has a setup list. Each step ticks itself off when it's done, and none of them stops you from working.
- Add your logo and colours - Design > Theme & colours. See Theme, header, footer and menus.
- Change the home page words and pictures - see The editor and blocks.
- Check your contact form - see Forms and enquiries.
- Give each page a title and description for search engines - see Pages and search engines.
- Publish - your website is live on its ellibo.com address.
- Connect your own domain (Standard and up) - see Addresses and your own domain.
- Invite your team - see Users and roles.
