Step 1. Generate your website at Zarla first

At Zarla we start with the website, every time.

You'll begin by creating and publishing your website for free at zarla.com. With the help of our AI you'll have a finished website, online, in minutes - yes, really! 😮

Making changes is also free which means you can update your website however you want. You can add your own images (or request different images from us), change the wording, and make sure your website logo and colors are consistent with your brand.

If there's anything you can't do, just ask us to help!

Then, when you're happy with how everything looks, it's time to officially publish your website online! Just select "Publish" and we'll take care of the rest!

Step 2. Upgrade to get a custom domain

Our free website plan costs nothing, but if you want more features and marketing help we have an optional Pro plan available as well.

Upgrading to Pro costs just $9/month. It allows you to use custom domains, removes all Zarla branding, and comes with unlimited hosting, storage, and one-on-one marketing support.

To upgrade, select the "Upgrade" button and choose a monthly or yearly subscription. After subscribing, you can use any custom domain you already own, or request a free domain name for a year (just another perk of going Pro!)

You can choose any domain you like as long as it's available to be registered. If it's not, we'll offer suggestions, and then register and set it up the domain that you've chosen, free of charge.


Step 3. Choose your professional email address

Now that your website is built and it's been published on your domain, it's time to choose a professional email address for your business.

We'll help with this too! This article explains the two email options you have. You can also request your professional email address right from that page.

Please make sure you've completed the first two steps before requesting your email.

We realize that creating your website first and then choosing a domain name may feel counterintuitive. But doing it this way ensures that you love your website before getting locked into a domain name.

You'll also need to choose your email address last, since it will rely on your domain name.

No matter where you're at in this process, our team is looking forward to helping out! If you have any other questions, please ask.
