Getting Started with the Website Builder
HarborGrill, a newly opened restaurant, wants to establish an online presence before opening to customers. Rather than building a website from scratch, the owner uses the Applova Website Builder to quickly generate a professional website using the restaurant's branding and business information.
Using the Website Builder, HarborGrill is able to:
- Generate a complete website in minutes using AI.
- Import business information or enter it manually during setup.
- Review and customize the generated content, images, and branding.
- Preview the website before making it available to customers.
- Publish the website and begin accepting online orders.
This allows HarborGrill to launch a professional website quickly while spending less time on design and setup.
Merchants can use the AI Website Builder to:
- Generate website content using AI.
- Create a sample online ordering menu.
- Select brand colors and fonts.
- Add or update website images.
- Edit homepage and About Us content.
- Manage reviews, FAQs, footer details, and social links.
- Preview the website before publishing.
- Publish the website using the available plan options.
Once the website is published, orders placed through the website can be managed from the Applova Merchant Portal.
Merchants can also use the Applova Business Manager App to monitor and manage orders using the same login credentials.
Once the website is ready, merchants can publish the website by selecting one of the available plans.
