Step 4: Add Key Pages & Content

Create these basic pages:

• Home – Welcome message, intro image, key info.
• About – Who you are/what you offer.
• Contact – Email address, contact form (drag & drop), social links.
• Blog/Portfolio (optional) – Showcase writing or work samples.

Step 5: Preview & Test

• Click Preview (eye icon) to see how it looks on desktop and mobile.
• Most builders are automatically mobile‑friendly, but check anyway.

Step 6: Publish Your Free Website

1. Click Publish (may say "Share" or "Go Live").
2. Your site will get a free domain like:
   • yoursite.wixsite.com/name
   • sites.google.com/view/yoursite
   • yoursite.canva.site
3. Share the link anywhere — social media, email, resume.

🔁 You can edit and republish anytime. Changes appear immediately.

What You Cannot Do on a Free Plan (Usually)

• ❌ Connect a custom domain (www.yourname.com)
• ❌ Remove the platform’s ads/branding
• ❌ Add e‑commerce or payment features
• ❌ Access advanced SEO tools

But for a personal site, portfolio, small project, or school page — free is plenty.
