Hi. Today I'm going to show you how to use our photographic Studios template on SalesDiew website builder. So let's go ahead and create a site and here is our template. You can click on edit or if you have specific needs that you want, you can click the button, enter your name, email address and your requirement and we will get back to you as soon as we can. I'm gonna edit this template for now. On the top left corner you can configure your website for a tablet or a cell phone. So if you click the different icons, this one's desktop, tablet and then the cell phone, so you can adjust the view of your website from there. So what I'm going to start with is I'm going to upload my own logo. So I'm going to click edit image and add new. I'm just going to select the file from my computer, save, skipping and cropping. Then after that I'm going to put my website name and I'm going to edit the text. I'm also going to put a slogan underneath and I'm just gonna edit my slogan as well. I'm going to change the font size and the font type. Once I'm happy with that, I'm gonna start and upload my own photography images onto the again, I'm going to click on the image, edit image and upload my own from my computer. From here I can add my social media links. So if I have Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest, I'm just gonna link that for the site that I'm using as an example, I'm gonna link the Facebook and Instagram profile of the website. So I'm gonna copy the link and then paste it on the salesty website social media link. And then I'm going to click save. Then I'm going to do the same with Instagram. Now we have a hyperlink text. So basically when your customers are in your website and they click on portfolio, you can target it to open a new window that shows your portfolio. You can even change it. So this one I'll change to our rates. I'm going to edit the about page. So I'm just going to click about and I'm going to start with editing the banner. So I'm going to upload my own photo. So I'm very happy with this photo. I'm just gonna drag this so it doesn't overlap. Then I'm gonna reference back to the site that I'm using as an example to edit the stuff that I want to Put in. We're going to edit the portfolio. So this will showcase your work as an artist and a photographer. First, I'm going to edit this text and I'm just going to change the font color. Then I'm going to proceed to add my own images as well. So like before, we're going to click Edit image and then you're going to upload your own image. Then underneath, I'm going to edit the text to my client's name. I'm going to show you how to add a new page and make that a category under Portfolio. So, for example, you want to showcase specific pages. So I'm going to click Add Page. Then as you can see, it showed up as New page. Name the page however you want so you can put the name and then click Save. For example purposes, I'm just going to leave it as New page number seven. You can click here and drag your pages to however you want. I'm going to put it under Portfolio and then I'm going to click the two dots and click Make Child. I'm going to select the parent and I'm going to click Portfolio. Once that's done, it will look like this. So see under Portfolio. Under Portfolio it will be New page seven. So when you want to showcase specific portfolios that you have, like what I've done here, I've created a specific portfolio for Brittany and Noah's wedding. So I'm going to add a couple more pictures. So I'm going to click Design element and drag image onto the website. Then I'm going to upload my image. Then I'm just going to click and resize it to however I want to. And I'm also just gonna edit the font color and make it red. Then I'm gonna save all the changes I've done so that we don't lose any work that we worked on. Then we're gonna edit the contact page. You can leave it as is or you can try to do it on your own design. I'm just going to leave it as is and enter my info where my clients can email me. When done and happy with your website, you can link your own domain name. So when you click the gear icon, click Website Settings, then switch to own domain name. When you click Instructions, you will see instructions on how you're supposed to link your own domain name. So let's say you already have your own domain name. So like this one, I have my own domain name. I'm going to click Manage DNS. Then I'm going to add a record. So the type is type A, the host is the sign, and it points to the IP address that was given under the instructions. So I'm just going to delete this one so it avoids any confusion. Then I'm going to copy my domain, go back to the SalesVU website and paste the URL there. Click on Save. OK. And then we're going to click on Publish, paste your domain name and click Publish. So once that's done, you can now go to your own domain name and your SalesVue website will pop up. So I'm going to open a new tab and here is our website. So remember our about page. Then under our portfolio, we've created a parent and child category, so that's how it would look like. Thanks for watching. Please let us know if you have further questions.
