The Complete Guide to Getting Started with Sitepresso
Everything you need to know to go from account creation to a fully live, client-ready website on your own domain.
Before You Start
Have the following ready before you create your account:
- Your business name and tagline
- A logo (PNG or SVG, or we'll use a text version until you have one)
- Your services with names, descriptions, durations, and prices
- A domain name (or use the included Sitepresso subdomain to start)
Step 1: Create Your Account
Go to sitepresso.com and click "Start now." Create your account, choose a paid plan, and complete the secure checkout. If the selected plan includes a trial, checkout shows the trial duration before you confirm.
Step 2: Choose Your Vertical
Appointment: If your business runs on bookable time slots — coaching, consulting, healthcare, fitness, beauty
Ecommerce: If you sell physical or digital products online
Static: If you need a professional marketing page without transactional features
Step 3: Choose Your Industry Theme
Select the theme closest to your industry. The content, section order, and design are pre-configured for your vertical. You can customise colours, fonts, and content — but the structure is already right.
Step 4: Add Your Business Details
Enter your business name, tagline, contact details, address, and opening hours. These appear throughout your site automatically.
Step 5: Add Services or Products
For Appointment: add each service with name, description, duration, price, and which staff can deliver it.
For Ecommerce: add each product with name, description, photos, price, and stock level.
Step 6: Configure Payments
Connect your Stripe account to take online payments. This takes 10 minutes and is required for the booking flow to collect deposits or full payment.
Step 7: Set Up Your Domain
Use a free [yourbusiness].sitepresso.com subdomain to start, or connect your own domain. Custom domain connection takes about 5 minutes and requires updating two DNS records with your domain registrar.
Step 8: Go Live
Click "Publish." Your website is now live and accessible. Test the booking flow end-to-end — book a test appointment and confirm the confirmation email arrives correctly.
Step 9: Tell People
Add your website URL to your Google Business Profile, social media bios, email signature, and business cards. Announce the launch to your email list or existing clients. The website is live; now drive traffic to it.
