 Hey guys, it's Matt Beck from freesaloneducation.com and I want to show you guys How easy it is to create a website for your salon? I use a company for my salon website called Wix. I'm not really affiliated with Wix in any way I just think it's a very simple Website builder for anybody anybody can do this. So I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna show you guys So let's switch over here. All right, so Let's get started in this way. So this is basically the the Wix website builder It looks exactly like a website. That's what makes it very convenient a Lot of you don't know but most of the time websites are built with something that they call code and code is basically a bunch of letters that somebody that went to school for a long time learned to write and You know, most people cannot do that So this is so simple and what I like about Wix is let me just show you this is our front page of our website So my salon is gratitude salon education. This is definitely not if you're a website builder already This is not the video for you. This is just me showing you Salon owners out there that it's easy and you can create your own site very simple. So This is the basic menu. We have our social media stuff up here So you could click that that's easy to set up So the cool thing about Wix is it's just as easy as clicking it Let's say I don't like that there and I want to put it over here. I can do that and I just drop it But let's I want to keep it right there. So We have that up there and then I have my main menu here All of this is connected to each page that I have developed for our website. So If I want to shrink that down a little bit So we have our home menu which is this then we have our our salon like about the salon And what what the song is all about so the bio of the salon then we have our menu for the salon We have a portfolio with some pictures of hair that we've done and then a contact page And then the salon professional page is the free salon education comm page, which you can also click this image here so Let's just start with the basics over here is how you create pages So if I click that it opens up it shows you all of the different pages that are connected to our website So if you wanted to Let's just start with the salon page. So I'll click that this will show you what the salon page looks like It shows a picture of our salon very simple And this is a slideshow. So it's many different pictures put together We have Basically the description of our salon what our salon is all about then there's drop-down menus from that So if actually, let me open up. Let's open a new tab and let me go to salon gratitude comm So this is our actual page and how it works So if you go to the salon you can see this drop-down menu here You can see that the slideshow is working here showing some of the staff and everything So to create these drop-down menus. Let's go back to our editor I have my main salon pages and you can see how these pages are offset So now each of these pages this one is the salon then we have owners so picture of me and Christina And Hayden and it just talks about us being owners and what that's all about then you go to our team and has the bios of our whole team in here Kind of breaks down everything. It's really simple to do So if I want to create the main salon page here and then have drop-down menus from it right here You can see these are a little offset So if I wanted to actually show up in the menu, I drag Let's see you take this page drag it over and I can see team shows up here So if I wanted to be in a drop-down menu from the salon Page here, then I just drag it over. So it's really really simple anything I want to do if I want to change this picture all I have to do is double-click it Once I double-click that picture See here. It'll bring up this Editor and you can upload here some of our friends in there This is also connected to the free salon education.com page, but any picture I want to add in there Let's throw Josh XO a bone. Let's say I want to become Josh XO So let's change the image and boom. It puts it right there. You can change the size if you want and Then that becomes your bio. So let me go back to Let's change it back to me I Don't have to be Josh. So let's see here and There we go. So it's back to me So it's just that simple to change the pages and whatever you want it to be now We'll go back to our pages here. We have our menu That brings up the same thing if you want to click an image you can add images You can change your pricing you can write whatever you want. So let's say I want to edit this text I double-click it I can highlight I can write whatever I want so I can come in here and type in and then You click out of it and you're good to go. Let me just take that away Here So it's just really simple to create a website on wix and the cool thing about wix is that it's free for you to start So you just create the page and then the max amount that you're probably gonna pay is $10 a month to be able to have a website You can create your own domain and everything and as soon as you have your page the exact way that you want it You save it up here So once you save it, you're good Then you hit publish and whatever is already done on your website once you hit publish It's gonna go live so you can do all your editing and then as soon as you have it the way you want it Then you publish it and it's it's ready to go. So again up here You can change your your logo and everything and this is something that you want to get into it Try it out and you'll you'll discover different things. This isn't a full Tutorial on it, but this is just showing you how easy it is to create a website Nowadays now the other cool thing And let's go back to our homepage here Creating a slideshow is simple so you can see all these images that I have added in here So that's gonna rotate through you can add your titles whatever you can link them to other things So that's kind of a cool function as well So if you have something maybe you're running a special in the salon and you want to link it to that I also we run gift cards in the salon and we use Millennium e-gift. So they're online gift certificates So what I did was I created an image and then this do that I link it to our Millennium e-gift So now if you go to our salon website and you're like, oh, I want to order a gift certificate You click that it takes you to our page on Millennium for them to purchase a gift card, which is really cool as well I mean there we go.
