Set up my Websites + Marketing site

Creating a website for your business is a great way to build an online presence. GoDaddy's website builder is an online editing and publishing tool that helps you make a responsive website with no technical knowledge.

Start a site

From godaddy.com, select Start for Free. You'll be asked a few questions including the type and name of your business. We use this information to provide photo and content recommendations for your site.

Note: You can purchase a plan now, or continue with the free trial. Compare plans and prices.

If you've already started your site you can acess it by going to your GoDaddy product page. Scroll down to Websites + Marketing and select Manage next to the website you've started and select Edit Website.

Change how your website looks with a new theme, colors and fonts

Your site has been customized based on the things you selected when you set up your site. Every line of text, every image and each page is customizable. Your theme determines the overall appearance of your site. You can also select the site colors, fonts and button style that'll be used throughout your site.

    • The gallery previews how your site home page looks in every theme option. As soon as you Select a theme, that theme is applied.
  2. To update your site color, select Color.
    • Select one of the suggested matching colors, or select a custom color. If you have a custom color for your business, enter the hexadecimal code.
    • Use the Paint your site slider to adjust how light, colorful, or dark your site is as a whole. Don't worry, you can still change each section's color individually.
  3. To update your site fonts, select Fonts.
    • The Primary font is generally used for headings on your site. The Secondary font is used for body text.
    • Choose from our recommended preset font pairings.

    • Add a Promotional Banner or Logo.
    • Action Button is used to change the name of the button and direct what happens when a site visitor selects the button.
