How it works · Setting up your website
Your website, set up in an afternoon.
Pick a starting point, customize what you want, connect your domain, and go live. No code. No theme files. No three-week launch.
The flow
Four steps from idea to live website
The same four steps every BloomSites store owner goes through. Friendly defaults at each step so you can move quickly.
- Step 1
Pick a starting point
Choose a starter site that already looks like your kind of garden center, or describe your business and we build a starter site shaped around it.
- Step 2
Customize what you want
Swap colors, swap photos, change copy, add or remove sections. Edit on the live page and watch it update.
- Step 3
Connect your domain
Bring your existing domain or get a fresh BloomSites address. We handle the DNS bits and confirm when it's verified.
- Step 4
Go live
Publish when you're ready. Your site is live to visitors at your domain. Edits after launch are just as easy.
Step 1 · Starting point
Start from something that already feels right.
You don't start from a blank page. Pick a starter site that already looks like a real garden center — homepage, product pages, an About, a Contact, the legal pages — or describe your business in a sentence and we build a starter shaped around it.
The starter is yours from the moment you pick it. Edit anything. Nothing is locked in.
Real garden center pages
Plant guides, seasonal banners, pickup hours, deliveries — the pages a garden center website actually needs.
Brand-ready colors and fonts
Soft palettes that read warmly online. Swap to your own at any time.
Photos placed for you
Useful image positions throughout — swap to your own photos when you have them, or keep the placeholders while you grow.
Step 2 · Customize
Make it yours, without learning anything new.
Click any piece of the page and edit it right there. Type new headlines. Drop in your logo. Adjust colors with a couple of swatches. Move sections up or down.
When you change something, you see it instantly — the page you're editing is the page your visitors will see, so you never have to imagine what it will look like.
Edit on the live page
No separate design tool, no preview mode. Click, type, done.
Your brand colors
Pick a palette or paste your own colors. Pages refresh together so it stays consistent.
Photos that fit
Upload, crop, and place product and seasonal photos with friendly defaults so they read well on every screen.
Step 3 · Domain
Connect your domain. We do the technical bits.
Already own a domain like yourgardencentre.com? Point it at BloomSites with a couple of records we walk you through. We confirm when it's verified and your site is reachable at your custom address.
No domain yet? You get a BloomSites address you can launch on today (yourstore.bloomsites.app), and you can add a custom domain any time later.
Step-by-step setup
We tell you exactly which records to add and we check that they're right before you flip the switch.
HTTPS handled
Your site gets a secure padlock automatically. No certificates to buy or renew.
Launch on day one if you want
Use your BloomSites address now, add a custom domain later. No rebuild required.
Step 4 · Go live
Publish when it feels right.
When you're happy with what you've built, hit Publish. Your site is live to visitors at your domain.
Want to make a change tomorrow? Edit on the live page like you did when you set it up. Save it, and the change goes out. Nothing to redeploy.
Selling plants online too? The next page walks through how editing actually works, and after that we cover how to sell.
One button to go live
Your site stays in setup mode until you publish. Take your time.
Edits are instant
Save a change after launch and visitors see it the next time they load the page.
No fragile templates
Your site is yours. We don't push surprise design changes that break what you built.
Ready to go
Publish your site
We'll keep checking the basics so going live is uneventful in the good way.
