Tailor Brands Website Builder

Website Builder Tutorials

Tailor Brands offer value for money website hosting. Even better, you can create up to a three page website for free. This gives the advantage of learning and becoming familiar with the website builder. When you are ready, you will need to purchase a plan to publish the website. There are three subscription plans available and you can choose which plans suits you.


A great place to start is to use one of the ready made templates and modify and change the template accordingly. You can view some of the templates here - templates

Getting Started with Tailor Brands

Logo Design Builder

Before you can use the Website Builder, you will need to create a logo regardless if you will be using it. You will also need to sign up for a free account. The following tutorial explains how to use the logo design builder and how to sign up for an account.

Points to note:

  • You can not change the company/business name or logo once you sign up to a subscription plan
  • You can create and save as many logo designs as you wish
  • You do not have to use the created logo design for your website - you can use your own
  • You will need to purchase a subscription in order to download the logo

Automatic Website Builder

A quick and easy way to get a website up and running is to use Tailor Brands Automatic Website Builder. This website can be built for free but will need a subscription plan to publish on the internet.


Although a great place to start for a complete beginner, the website is somewhat limited and can be updated using the advance editor.

Points to note:

  • It is free to use the Automatic Website Builder
  • The website has limited functionality but is a good place to start for a complete beginner
  • You will need to purchase at least the Basic Plan to publish the website on the internet
  • You will also need to purchase a domain name prior to publishing
  • There is no way to revert back to the automatic website builder once the advanced editor has been selected

Domains

Before you can publish a website, apart from a subscription plan, you will also need to have a domain name. A domain name can be purchased through Tailor Brands and is good value for money especially if you also purchase the domain privacy. You can have a free domain name for a year if you sign up for at least the standard subscription plan - saving you even more money.


You are unable to transfer in a domain name but you can connect an externally purchased domain.


The following tutorial explains how to purchase a domain through Taylor Brands as well as to connect an externally purchase domain.

Points to note:

  • Tailor Brands do have value for money purchase plans for the domain name and domain privacy. The renewal costs are low as well
  • The Domain Name is your online real-estate so needs to be something branded to you, your product or service.
  • If you are running a business, then aim to include keywords that describe your business i.e. www.myhomebusiness.com, www.petfood.com, www.cheapcars.com etc.
  • Check the domain name is available for your business
  • Consider the following when deciding on a domain name: avoid hyphens, although there is nothing stopping you doing this; keep the domain name simple; make it something easy to spell; keep the name as short as possible; make it memorable; use a .com which is universally known and used
