What is Web starts

Web starts Website Builder 

Web starts website builder that's based in the cloud like web starts you don't have to worry about any of those things because they all happen on the back end for you automatically know there are competitors that allow things to happen on the back end automatically as well, but they don't give you access to as many and powerful features, and they don't let you manage your entire business online the same way that web search does probably the most obvious thing that makes web starts different if I can log into my account here like I'm saying here is that web starts has a drag-and-drop editor that means instead of you just making a few edits and changes to a template you can literally take any piece of any element we call them elements, and drag them and drop them where you want them to appear on the page so that means like for example this button and this text in any of the images that you put on the page all of it can be dragged and moved to wherever you want it to be displayed whereas with so many of the other website builders you're just kind of working in line, and you can make some edits and changes to your text, but you can't drag those elements around your page now some other website builders out on the market do let you drag of the elements on the page, but they don't do it with the freedom of web starts probably one of the other big differences between web starts and other website builders is how easy it is to add a top-level domain name you want to have a web address that is easy for people to find the web address is the information that they add, or they enter into their address bar which is like right up here in their web browser they use that to find you so if I click view site you can see my web addresses store - demo dot web starts com well you can add your very own Comet org or other top-level domain name that's what they were referred to easily just by clicking on the add domain button and then entering the desired domain name and clicking search and then if the domain name is available you just click continue and then rather than have to make a bunch of changes to what are called your name servers or log into a separate registrar account like Go Daddy everything just begins to work with your website in about 30 to 90 seconds, so after you've upgraded to a paid plan and added this domain name if you just type in this domain name like in this case it would be whatever is a domain com it's going to automatically display your website trying to get that to work on other services is a bit of a conundrum again it takes a little, a bit of technical know-how and if you did go ahead and register a domain name in the past somewhere like Go Daddy or register comm, and you want to use it with your website that you created on web starts.

Web starts calm which is fairly easy, but it takes a couple of minutes, and it's just not as easy as registering a brand-new domain name and that basically is still easier than most of the other website builders so with web starts you don't have to worry about setting up a server and hosting your website and that kind of stuff all of that stuff is happening in the background but if you're using a program like Word Press you would still need to do all of that ok, so you know domain names are really easy to set up and all of that happens very quickly using web starts and that's a big advantage over using any of the competitors but another thing that you may not be aware of that web starts does and I really enjoy this because it helps me run a lot of businesses on web starts and create an automated workflow is the forum situation so let me show you what that looks like, so I have this wedding venue here, and I have a forum on the home page and this acts as a landing page and what I do is I ask people to enter their email address before they can explore and discover this particular location so if they enter in there their email address then they are able to browse around and look at photos of the website and that kind of stuff so what I do on the back end is I get if I go into that website for example and I click on email marketing is I get their email, and then it's automatically added to an email marketing list, and then I have used the email marketing app that is part of web starts to write some automated emails that go out to the people who submitted their email address over time so for example after a day they get an email and then another week and then on the second or third week and what that does it help overt more of the people who submitted that information to my website into customers because they're reminded what the address is to the website over and over they're reminded about what it is that I sell, and they're reminded how to get a hold of me so just the follow-up alone ends up creating so much value and turning so much more of the traffic that comes to my website into real customers that actually give me money and the way that I do that is by using the forms, and you can go into the web starts page editor that's what I'm looking at here, and you can edit these forms just by double-clicking on them, and you can add all kinds of fields to the form.

Web starts is head and shoulders above so many other website builders and so many other ways to create a website because it's based around the idea that you're going to gather data from your website contact data customer data, and you're going to use that to create more sales or a deeper relationship with your customers or your site visitors over time, and you have all kinds of other apps in here that I could point out obviously you can add live chat to your website you can have analytics, so you can know who's visiting your website where they're coming from which a précising sources are returning on your investment and which ones are not that kind of thing and a nice thing about analytics by the way is that it unlike Google Analytics which is quote-unquote free it's not going to report to googling how much you're paying for a conversion and who's interested in your product or service and that sort of thing think of Google Analytics as being not free, but instead you're trading valuable data about your business that they can then use to sell either back to you in the form of advertising. It is really important that web starts does better than all competitors are business emails if you're asking yourself what's a business email well it's a professional-looking email address that has your domain name in it so for example let's say you have that bakery and the name of the bakery is Karen's Bake Shop, and you've registered the domain name Karen's Bake Shop comm, and you want people to be able to send emails into place orders, but you don't want to have them send email to an unprofessional looking email address like Karen's Bake Shop at gmail.com or at yahoo.com or bing.com or MSN or whatever, and instead you want it to reflect your brand and your business and be Karen's Bake Shop com you can do that web starts just click on business emails, look at another feature here we have the store feature I'm going to point that out Oh before I do that I want to point out that when somebody submits one of those forms on your website a nice thing about web starts you're alerted both through email and through push notifications and even through text message if you've added a phone number to your account now you can disable email and text message notifications just by clicking on this little notification Bell and clicking settings if you don't want to receive those notifications I like to receive them though because they let me know that my advertising is working they let me know that my websites up and that people are understanding how to get to it and what it's about, and it also builds in a little internal clock for me that helps me know how busy it is for instantly now normally when you create an online store you go into business, and you want to accept credit cards you apply for what's called a merchant account, and then it takes maybe several days or even more sometimes in order to get approved because they don't want to just give anyone the ability to start processing credit cards especially on the web because there could be some risk in that we have partnered with a company called We Pay that's owned by Chase Bank that works just that way it lets you automatically start accepting credit cards immediately so when you click on the store app you're already pre-approved to accept credit cards, and you can start accepting payments the second that you've created a product and shared it with somebody they can enter their Visa MasterCard American Express or Discover into the transaction field, and they can make a purchase from.
