Getting started

Create your first site

There are three ways to start a Joybird site. Pick the one that fits what you have today.

The free plan stays free. There is no trial period, and you do not need to enter a card.

Before you start

You need a Joybird account. Sign up from the homepage. When you do, you land on the New site screen.

Already have a site and want another? Open the site menu at the top of the left sidebar and choose New site.

What you get

Whichever way you start, you end up with a site you can edit. Your pages start as drafts, so no one else can see them until you publish. See Publish a page.

Next steps

  1. Take a tour of the editor.
  2. Edit text, images and buttons.
  3. Publish your first page.
