Getting Started with your Website

This is everything your audience sees: the site itself, and the tools that run on it — your blog, shop, galleries, forms, newsletters and booking pages. They share one design and one set of contacts, so a visitor who fills in a form on Monday is already a known contact on Tuesday.

What it holds

  • Site Builder — build and edit pages visually, without touching code
  • AirBlog — publish articles, with categories and comments
  • AirShop and AirCatalog — sell products, or present a priced catalogue you can export as a PDF
  • AirGallery — publish image galleries you can share or embed
  • AirForms — capture enquiries, which arrive as contacts rather than as email you have to re-type
  • AirMail — newsletters and campaigns to the subscribers you have gathered
  • Analytics — what people actually did once they arrived

Your first hour

  1. Open Site Builder and set your colours, fonts and logo once. Everything else inherits them.
  2. Publish a home page and one page that explains what you do. Two good pages beat ten unfinished ones.
  3. Add an AirForm to the second page so visitors have a way to reach you.
  4. Turn on the module you will actually use this month — a blog, a shop or a gallery — and leave the rest off until you need them.
  5. Check Analytics after a week and let it tell you which page deserves your next hour.

Tips

  • Set the design before you build pages, not after. Changing it later means revisiting every page you have made.
  • Every form submission becomes a contact, so your website feeds your CRM without you copying anything across.
  • Switch modules on one at a time. An empty shop or a blog with no posts costs you more trust than not having one.
