How to get started
Step 1: Choose Your Plan
Decide on the right pricing plan for your website requirements. Each tier comes with specific benefits and features.
Step 2: Pick a Domain Name
Select a unique domain name that serves as your website's address. Choose a domain extension, such as .co.za for South Africa, and make it easy for users to find your website.
Step 3: Select a Template
From 50+ templates, choose a layout that aligns with your business and industry. Ensure the template reflects your brand and colours with several customisation options.
Step 4: Publish and Add Content
Once your website is designed, publish it online. Remember, while design captures attention, compelling content keeps visitors engaged. Ensure your website content aligns with your brand message and resonates with your audience.
Frequently asked questions
- No, not at all! Our Website Builder lets anyone create an entire website from scratch using simple drag-and-drop tools. Absolutely no coding skills are needed to design, develop, and launch your site. You simply choose a design template, customise it to your liking, and then fill out your pages by telling the world who you are, what you do, where to find you, and so on. With built-in e-commerce features (not available on the Basic plan), you can also display your own products and easily sell them online. While you adjust the layout of headings, text, images, and other ready-made widgets, the Website Builder automatically adds the necessary code in the background to ensure it all works and looks great on desktop, tablet, and mobile.
- Yes. Although the Website Builder offers a completely hands-off approach when it comes to coding, you are also able to add your own custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with the code editor. So if you are a website designer or developer, you get all the benefits of a drag-and-drop interface with the freedom to add custom code at any time.
- Yes. You can start building your website using any modern smartphone or tablet device — all you need is an internet connection and you will be able to tweak your design and layout, create pages and blog posts, upload images, and more with the responsive web-based Website Builder dashboard. You can also run your online shop on-the-go by adding products and managing stock levels, sending customer emails, and accepting payments via an array of secure payment options. Download the 1-grid mobile app (Android and iOS) where you can manage your 1-grid account and begin building your website all in one place.
- No. All our Website Builder plans include free web hosting and your choice of one free .co.za, .online, .store, or .shop domain name. As such, you don't need to buy a domain name separately unless you would like a name with a different domain extension such as .com, .africa, or .tech. Please note that if you would like email addresses that are associated with your domain name (e.g. yourname@yourdomain.co.za), you will need to buy a separate email plan, starting at R49/month.
- Yes. You can easily import your existing WordPress blog posts on any other web hosting provider to your new Website Builder blog. To do so, you will need to log in to your WordPress blog as administrator, then go to Tools > Export. Select "Posts" and click the Export button. This will download an XML file to your PC or mobile. To import your blog posts to your Website Builder blog, simply log in to your Website Builder dashboard, navigate to Blog > WordPress Import and upload the exported XML file you just downloaded.
