This article provides a hands-on, step-by-step guide on how to use SiteGround Website Builder to build your own corporate website.
Preliminary Preparation
Before using SiteGround Website Builder to build a website, you first need to purchase a SiteGround hosting plan.
SiteGround includes 3 plans: Startup (suitable for individuals/single sites), GrowBig (suitable for SMEs/multiple sites), GoGeek (suitable for large sites), all of which include the Website Builder feature for free.
For specific purchase steps, please refer tothe first step of the SiteGround tutorial. Or click the button below to go directly to the official website to purchase.
Building Process
After purchasing the hosting plan, we can proceed to use SiteGround Website Builder to build the website.
1. Create Website
Log in to theSiteGround Admin Dashboard, click on theWebsitespanel, and selectNew Website(If a domain was bound during new registration, a website is added by default. Click the Finish button to continue with the setup.)
In the pop-up interface, we selectWebsite Builder, then Continue.
Next, many website templates will pop up for you to choose from. Select and import a template with a design close to your company's business.
Note: If operations like domain name resolution are needed during the process, please refer to theDomain Name Resolution Topic。
2. Modify Website Content
After the website template is imported, you will enter the website backend by default. If not, you can also manually click theEDIT WEBSITEbutton from the website list to enter.
The operation method of SiteGround Website Builder is similar to Elementor; you can click on what you want to modify.
3. Add Pages
By default, only the homepage is imported for us; other pages need to be created and then clicked for import again.
Click onPagesin the left menu bar, then clickADD NEWAdd Page.
The pop-up interface allows you to select some built-in pages from this website template, such as Contact, About, Team, Services, etc. (If you don't want the existing pages, you can directly click ADD BLANK PAGE).
Select the page you want. The right side contains multiple layout designs to choose from. Select the one you like to import.
Then modify the content of this page again, add new pages, modify content, and repeat this process until all website pages are created and modified.
After modification, publish it. If you haven't made changes and only imported the template, you'll notice a closed eye icon next to the page title. Click on the page, go to the Settings interface, and change the Page Status to Live to set it to published status.
4. Add New Content and Layouts
If the imported template layout still lacks the elements you need and you want to add some layouts and content yourself, move the mouse to where you want to add and click the + sign.
The pop-up interface contains many pre-built Section blocks. Choose the one you need, or create a blank block ADD BLANK SECTION.
5. Modify Navigation and Global Colors
After modifying all pages, when you visit the website frontend, you'll find that the menu still cannot jump to other pages. We need to manually modify the navigation links.
Click on the left sideNav, after entering, click on the corresponding link, then set it to jump to the corresponding page to complete the modification of the navigation bar.
而Stylesinterface is where you set global colors, which is more convenient than modifying colors element by element.
6. Set Page SEO Information
By default, each of your pages has a fixed page title, not even a company name, so others cannot find you through search engines.
To avoid this issue, you need to manually modify the SEO information for each page.
Click on Pages on the left, then select the three dots next to the page that needs SEO settings to open the settings interface, switch to theSEOtab to write TITLE and Description information.
If you need to share the website on social media, such as Facebook, then theSocialinterface also needs to be set.
How to Build a Website with AI?
Each SiteGround hosting plan comes with a certain amount of AI tokens. We can let AI help us analyze and plan page copywriting.
In every place where you need to input copy, click the star symbol at the very front to pop up the AI interface. Enter your ideas in the description box, and AI will automatically generate suitable content for you.
Try to make the prompts as detailed as possible, and you can communicate in Chinese, telling it to generate English copy.
Summary
Based on Naibabiji's actual hands-on experience, SiteGround Website Builder can indeed easily help us quickly build a corporate website, and the website loading speed performs excellently.If you want to quickly build a corporate website and have no plans for later SEO optimization in the short term, then SiteGround Website Builder would be a good choice.
但If you plan to do SEO optimization later, or need to build an online store, even if you are a B2B enterprise needing to publish dozens of products, Naibabijidoes not recommend using SiteGround Website Builder to build the website.. The reason is that the SiteGround Website Builder itself comes in different versions. The standard version we currently use does not have e-commerce functionality. If you need to add products, you can only manually create and design pages. Once the number of pages increases, management becomes very cumbersome. At the same time, this version lacks a Post management system, making it impossible to perform SEO optimization and improve rankings by publishing Posts.
