Edit text

Edit text directly on your site or in the editor panel. Any section with text allows you to style the text with bold, italic or underline, create numbered or bulleted lists, or include hyperlinks to another URL.

Some sections also have action buttons, like the home page's header section. Use these buttons to link to specific pages or sections in your website, link to a phone number or email, or send people to another URL (such as your social media profile).

Add and edit photos and videos (and sound)

In addition to text, sections comes to life by adding images and some sections even support adding video to your media library or by using external links from YouTube or Vimeo.

When you’re ready to add video, here's some examples of different types of videos that help you move customers through the sales funnel.

In each section with photos, add or replace the photo with your own uploaded photo or with a stock photo from our media library. Once you connect to your social accounts, those images will be linked and accessible in your media manager as well.

Easily create professional-looking images using GoDaddy Studio. We’ve also got tips for how to take great photos in our Be Your Own Creative Agency How-To course.

Our Advanced Design and Media in Website Builder How-To course walks you through using the media library and image editor, adding a photo gallery or slideshow, as well as using video and audio such as adding a SoundCloud audio track or playlist.

Publish your site

Now that you’ve gotten to this point, you're ready to publish your site!

You can continue making changes, but get it out into the world, share with friends, and ask for feedback!

Don’t worry if you still want to do more with your site. The web is a large place, and it’ll take time to grow your keywords and build an audience. Let’s give your site a boost by getting found with SEO.

Note: If you’re using the free trial or a free site, you’ll need to pick a plan (compare plans and pricing). The cost of a domain name is separate from the cost of hosting your site. You may also need to connect your site to your domain.
