How to Create a Website With Drag-and-Drop Dashboard

The entry of DIY website creators has eased the troubles of newbies and inexperienced businesses – firms lacking the expertise and resources to hire professional developers.

There are quite a few website builders out there, but the catch is, either they aren’t too user-friendly or effective, or they just charge too much for premium services. With these filters, very few website creators manage to earn the respect of users. Enter Glu7. This website creator goes head to head with big names like Wix and takes drag-and-drop approach for website creation.

Here are some steps that can help you master the basics of Glu7 dashboard.

Pick up a starting point

Newbies should start with any of the available themes. This will give you a head start if you have little knowhow about website layout and development.

Layout

After picking up the theme, you can now see a sample site on your dashboard. Feel free to play around with headers footers, body and the content. Select items from menu bar at the top and drag them down to add them. You can also edit the existing items on your page including styles, texts and images or remove them by clicking on ‘remove’ buttons next to edit buttons.

Clicking on the element allows you to edit that specific element via text, style and detail editors. You can also embed Vimeo and YouTube videos through ‘mediabox design’ tab in the menu bar.

Adding more pages

Surely your site is going to need more pages than one. To create more pages, simply click on ‘add page’ button on your dashboard. The name of the page can be changed anytime by just clicking on the icon besides the page’s name at the bottom-left corner.

General and other settings

You can also change the name of the site, integrate the site with Google Analytics, edit contact details and gain access to a lot of other general stuff just by clicking on the settings button.

The settings tab can be seen at the top-right corner of the dashboard. Clicking on it will open up a window which allows you to name the domain, edit contact details, and integrate Analytics along with tons of other stuff.

Publishing the site

After the site looks like the one in your dreams, click on the save button at the top-right corner to save your work. To publish it afterwards, just click on ‘publish now’ button on the screen that follows.

This is how easy it is to create your own site using Glu7. Please give your feedback about Glu7’s dashboard and whether you found it friendly or not.
