How to put your business online with BrandRafter

From your trade to a published site in one sitting — what each step asks for, and what you can change later.

You do not need a developer, a designer or a weekend to get a proper website live. Here is what the whole path looks like, step by step.

1. Tell us your trade

Start at Get started and pick your industry. A few short questions follow — your business name, your city and, for businesses that sell goods, a handful of the products you sell. Every answer is optional except your name, and all of it can be changed later.

2. Create your account

Sign up with your email address (we send a six-digit code to confirm it) or with your Google account. Choose a plan — every plan starts with a 7-day trial, and you do not need a card to begin.

3. Pick a design

Every template is made for a trade, with sections and words that suit it. Your pages, your words and your colours go in from the start, so what you see is your own site rather than a demo.

4. Change anything by clicking on it

Open any page and click a heading, a picture or a section to change it. Add sections from the side panel, upload your own photos and logo, and set your colours and fonts in the theme settings.

5. Publish

Press Publish and your site goes live on a free brandrafter.com address. When you are ready, connect your own domain — the security certificate is set up for you.

That is the whole of it. Most businesses publish the same day and keep improving the site over the following weeks.
