4 Easy Steps to Create Your Website in Minutes
Durable’s AI makes building a professional website simple by using a few key details about your business to create a site that’s tailored to your needs. Here’s how it works:
Step #1: Describe Your Business
Start by sharing a brief description of your business. You can keep it general, like saying you’re starting a “daycare,” or go into more detail, such as “a daycare for children aged 0–4 with bilingual language programs.”
Durable’s AI will use this information to select the most suitable website template, design style, and layout for your business, saving you time and effort.
Step #2: Share Your Location
Next, tell us where your business is located. You can provide just your city or state or include your full address if you prefer.
This step helps the AI personalize your content to your local community. It makes sure that key site elements like location details and contact forms are automatically built into your site.
Step #3: Add Your Business Name
If you already have a business name, input it into the generator.
Not sure what to name your business? No problem — Durable provides a list of name suggestions to inspire you and help you choose something that fits your vision.
Step #4: Let Durable’s AI Build Your Website
With just these details, Durable’s AI gets to work. In moments, you’ll have a website that reflects your industry, business name, and location — all ready to customize and launch. It’s that easy!
How to Customize Your Business Website
Your website should reflect your brand’s personality and make a lasting impression on visitors. With Durable’s user-friendly website editor, you can easily adjust designs, add your branding, and create a site that feels like a natural extension of your business.
Here’s how to make your website uniquely yours:
Tip #1: Personalize Key Sections on Your Homepage
Your homepage is often the first thing visitors see, so it’s a great place to showcase what makes your business stand out.
Focus on these sections to create a homepage that grabs attention and keeps people engaged:
#1. Hero Section
The hero section is your opportunity to introduce your business and set the tone for your website. A strong hero section includes:
- A headline that clearly explains what your business offers.
- Supporting text with a brief introduction.
- Eye-catching visuals that draw people in.
- A call-to-action (CTA) button, like “Learn More” or “Get Started,” that directs visitors to other parts of your site.
With Durable’s AI editor, you can choose from multiple hero section designs and use AI-generated text as a starting point. Everything can be easily adjusted to fit your style and message.
#2. Services Section
Adding a services section is a great way to show potential customers what you offer. Keep it simple — include a few images and short descriptions of your core services. Link each service to a dedicated page for more details.
To add this section to your website, on your Durable Dashboard, go to Add Section > Services, and customize the pre-generated content to suit your business.
#3. Client Testimonials
Reviews from happy clients build trust and encourage new visitors to take the next step. Reach out to previous customers for testimonials and include their feedback on your homepage.
Durable’s editor makes this process simple — select Add Section > Quote/Testimonial and add the reviews. You can also embed Google Reviews here to give visitors extra confidence in your business.
#4. Business Location
Showcasing your location on the homepage adds a layer of credibility and makes it easier for customers to find you. If you want to highlight your specific location, Durable can integrate a map of your business’s address by selecting Add Section > Location.
Tip #2: Start a Blog to Share Your Expertise
A professional blog can help attract visitors to your site and showcase your knowledge in your industry. You can start off by sharing tips, updates, or insights that your customers will find valuable or interesting.
But if you’re facing writer’s block, Durable’s AI Blog Writer has hundreds of blog post ideas ready to go, so creating and publishing a blog post can take minutes, not hours!
To set up a blog, navigate to Pages > Create Page > Blog, where you can:
- Draft your own posts.
- Use Durable’s AI Blog Writer to generate professional, ready-to-publish articles.
- Turn on Durable's Content Strategist to automatically publish your blogs for you.
Consistent blogging not only brings in more visitors but also shows that your business is active and informed.
P.S. All of Durable’s AI-written blog posts are search engine optimized. This means we’ll include top search terms and keywords that will help you rank higher in Google.
Tip #3: Add the Finishing Touches for a More Professional Look
The small details can make your website stand out and look more professional. Here are a few easy touches to make your site feel complete:
- Custom Favicon: Add a small icon that appears in the browser tab to match your logo.
- Unified Colors and Fonts: Stick to one color palette and a few complementary fonts to give your site a cohesive feel.
- Footer Information: Include your contact details, such as phone number, email, and address, in the footer for easy access.
- Social Media Links: Connect your site to your social platforms so visitors can engage with you elsewhere.
How to Choose a Domain Name For Your Website
Your domain name is your online address — like www.yourbusinessname.com — so it’s worth choosing one that’s professional and easy to remember. Stick to something simple, avoid special characters, and consider including your business name or industry to make it clear what you offer.
With Durable, getting a custom domain is fast and straightforward. You can search for and register your domain directly through Durable if you don’t have a domain name already.
Or, you can easily connect your existing domain.
Once you’ve chosen your domain, Durable automatically connects it to your website, so you don’t have to worry about technical setup.
Remember: You must have a domain name before publishing your website!
Here’s how to get your custom domain through Durable:
- Go to Settings > Domain in your Durable dashboard.
- Use the search bar to find available domain names. Durable will suggest options based on your business name.
- Select the domain you like and follow the prompts to register it.
Your new domain will be linked to your Durable website immediately, making it ready for you to share with your audience. A custom domain not only adds credibility to your business but also makes it easier for customers to find you online.

Test and Review Your Website Before Going Live
You’re almost ready to go live! But before you hit publish, test your site to make sure it’s working perfectly on both desktop and mobile devices. Check links, proofread content, and preview the design to ensure everything looks great. You might even want a friend or family member to look over your site to share any feedback.
Once you’re happy with your site, click publish. Now your website is live and it’ll start turning up in Google search results!
With Durable, building your website is simple, fast, and stress-free. Let our AI Website Builder take on the hard job of building your website so you can dedicate more time to building your business.
