www.dudamobile.com. <\/em><\/a>However, Impress.ly has stood out in this field, despite being a newcomer,\u00a0 because\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 of its unique focus on creating websites functionally equivalent to native mobile apps. Considering how important responsive websites are in today\u2019s time, this approach helps impress.ly stand out in the crowd.<\/p>\nAfter clicking on the \u201cGetting Started\u201d button on impress.ly\u2019s homescreen, you\u2019ll be presented with the choice of entering your business\u2019 Facebook page name, or going ahead with a custom build in case your business doesn\u2019t have a Facebook page. Since we\u2019retryingtodemonstrateaone-clicksetupinthis article, we\u2019ll go with the former option. However, the latter is just as simple, and needs you to give out only a few lines of basic information regarding your business.<\/p>\n
On entering your Facebook page\u2019s name, you\u2019ll see a drop down menu with a list of business\u2019 having pages on Facebook. Choose yours, following which you\u2019ll see a screen like this. After finding and choosing your business from the drop-down menu, you\u2019ll be asked if you are interested in selling products through your web- site or not.<\/p>\n
To store or not to store?<\/strong><\/p>\nThe only point of choosing either option is to allow the builder to create additional pages for a store. If you don\u2019t intend to sell merchandise through your webpage and need it purely for promotional purposes, impress.ly works just as well.<\/p>\n
I decided to go ahead with the option of having a store on my website. You\u2019ll now come across this page, which basically indicates all the informa- tion impress.ly is pulling off of your Facebook page. Photos, videos, ratings, location and timing related information, impress. ly takes care of it all.<\/p>\n
Your website is now ready.<\/p>\n
Choose a skin<\/strong><\/p>\nAfter being able to choose from a bunch of 10 skins, you\u2019ll be presented with a pre-publishing preview of what your website will turn out to be on desktop, tablet and mobile devices. Toggle between the three views by clicking on the top three device buttons in the top right corner of the page. You can even check how the website will respond to different gestures. But be warned in advance that the skins presented to you aren\u2019t very innovative nor very different from one another. But then again, Impress.ly is new, and we\u2019re hoping they\u2019ll add a few more to the list of skins, or atleast allow users to pay for better options.<\/p>\n
Click on the continue button and you\u2019ll move on to the screen where you can customise all your content and presentation styles.<\/p>\n
Content editor<\/strong><\/p>\nOn this screen, you can see the variety of options available to customise your content. Change your content, add and remove details – you can pretty much make a whole host of changes to your website, allowing it to feel distinct from your Facebook business page. And if you feel no compulsion to set your website apart from its Facebook counterpart, you can go that way as well.<\/p>\n
The \u201cEdit Content\u201d pane will allow you to make changes to each sec- tion that will be available on your webpage – the \u201cAbout\u201d section, your blog, and it allows you to manage links to other social media avenues such as your Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest page and even provides an RSS reader. You\u00a0 can add and remove pictures on your website, making\u00a0\u00a0 it distinct from your FB Business page. Customize your store – right from the styling to the products you\u2019re selling. Impress.ly really manages to make things a breeze, and its easy and intuitive user interface sets it apart from its competitors.<\/p>\n
The \u201cEdit Style\u201d button directs you to the style customiser, that will let you change your navigation layout, font styles and colour and a whole other host of stylistic aspects.<\/p>\n
You can start by changing your navigation pane to suit your tastes. Again, all the options provided to you are pretty standard, so don\u2019t go looking for something out of the world. Then there\u2019s the standard options for changing the background picture, which is by default, your business\u2019 Facebook page\u2019s cover picture, the colour scheme your website uses, the font colours, the header and title of your page.<\/p>\n
If you go to your settings, you\u2019ll be able to change the currency using which your store operates, add more members to your website\u2019s maintenance team and even use SEO tracking, which is inbuilt into your page during the time of creation itself.<\/p>\n
The \u201cManage Store\u201d option presents you with a slew of options to create a fully-functional store. You can keep track of orders placed, choose to offer discounts and customise your payment provider. While this might not be a complete management solution, it\u2019s surely a great alternative for a first- timer, and reduces the headache that would come with setting up a website from scratch, with a store to boot as well.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
All in all, you get the whole package with impress.ly, though the fact that this website builder hasn\u2019t been on the market for very long means it hasn\u2019t rolled out a whole list of features yet.<\/p>\n
What does help Impress.ly stand out in the crowd is that they provide an app that gives you full mobile editing ability. It\u2019s as easy to use as the desktop editor, if not easier. It\u2019s a step forward for the industry. Moreover, the fact that the generated website follows mobile-first principles means that they\u2019re in it for the long haul, especially after Google has started pushing up websites with responsive and mobile websites higher up in their search results.<\/p>\n
One downside to Impress.ly is its \u201cdistinct\u201d pricing structure. You can build your site while exploring the options and features and not worry about payment. Only when you go to publish your site will you be required to sign up for a paid plan. While this means Impress.ly offers no true free plan (as many other site builders do) you\u2019ll at least be able to test all the style options and features without entering your credit card info.<\/p>\n
There are other alternatives to impress.ly, and for anyone looking for a one-click setup with minimal hassles, this is the perfect gateway to your own functional website.<\/p>\n
