Creating your own website can often seem like a challenge, but with Mailchimp, this process is significantly simplified. In this guide, I'll show you how to step by step create a website with Mailchimp without the need for in-depth programming knowledge. Let's get started together!

Key Takeaways

• Mailchimp provides a user-friendly interface for creating websites.
• There are various website formats available, including blogs and online shops.
• Customizations such as text and image editing, as well as adding links, are easy to implement.
• The drag-and-drop functionality simplifies the design of your website.

Step 1: Sign up and initial steps

First, you need to sign in to your Mailchimp account. If you don't have an account yet, you can create one for free. After signing in, you should find the "Create" menu on the left side. Click on it.

Step 2: Create website

Among the options presented to you, choose "Website". Here you can create various types of websites, whether it's a blog, a company presentation, or an online shop.

Step 3: Choose the website

Now you have the choice of what kind of website you want to create. Do you want to sell products, offer services, or simply start a blog? For our example, we choose "Setup your site".

Step 4: Website name and Audience

Give your website a name, for example, "Example Website". Then you can select an audience that fits your topic - for example, "healthy eating". Click on "Edit my site" to start designing your website.

Step 5: Edit website

Now you've entered your website's editor. Here you can see the main page and add more pages. To edit the main page, click on "Edit Page". In preview mode, you can see how your website will look.

Step 6: Use Drag-and-Drop function

What's special about Mailchimp is the drag-and-drop principle. Simply click on the elements you want to edit. To change the text, click on it and write for example "Learn more about healthy living".

Step 7: Add links

To create a button that links to an external site, click on the button and change the text to "CLICK HERE". Then click on the link to insert a URL that directs users when clicked.

Step 8: Add content

Write something about your brand or yourself to connect with your visitors. You can also add an image by clicking on it and choosing the "Replace" option.

Step 9: Headings and text formatting

To create headings, click on the text you want to change and select a heading style, such as "Heading 1" for the main heading or smaller variations for subheadings.

Step 10: Add sections

You can add more sections by clicking on "Add Section". Here you will find various templates, e.g., for videos, text, images, or contact forms.

Step 11: Page linking and navigation

To create links within your website, select the text or button and choose "Link". You can decide if the link leads to an external page, another page on your website, or to a specific section.

Step 12: Publication

Once you have finished your customizations and are satisfied with your website, simply click on "Publish" to make it public. Your website is now visible to the world!

Summary

The steps to create a website with Mailchimp are simple and efficient. You can showcase your own brand, sell products or services, all without deep technical knowledge. With Mailchimp's drag-and-drop feature and user-friendly tools, you can freely design and customize your website to fit your exact needs.
