Hundreds of 12-hour days and decades of experience have been invested in this service project to make it the best it can be and to give your community a simple, quality tool that makes it easy to build your community. The sections below are designed to be a quick-start guide.
Website Builder is a DIY tool that may be perfect for your project. There are four flavors: Personal, Business, Business Plus and Online Store. Website Builder is a more modern tool and is not compatible with WordPress.
Website Builder is very easy to use and includes many features similar to WIX, Weebly, SquareSpace and even Shopify. Many parts and even pages are pre-built and can be added with drag-and-drop ease. Additions are super fast to install and look very professional.

Most features are built-in to the Website Builder. You can also add some elements, like email and marketing. We offer 24/7 phone support for any additional help you may need. The only additional things you will need are a Domain Name, Email and Email Marketing.
Domains
Your domain should say everything in as few letters as possible. ‘ChicagoBahai’ or ‘BahaiDanang’ are good examples. This will match questions in Google. Do not use hyphens (‘-‘). Only use .org or .com. Make sure you don’t make a ‘bad word’ when combining two words. Find your domain at our shop. You don’t need the add-ons and upsells.
Newsletters
Adding communication builds community. Start your list so you have a list when you create an event. You can add a page or replace your contact page. Email is the best way to create community. You can add an email signup to your website at our shop.
Announce your website to everyone you email with email at your domain. Info @ yourdomain is the cheapest and most effective way to announce your new website. Get email at your domain at the BahaiWebsites shop.
