What you get with the White Label Website
Having your own website is priceless for your business. It’s there to give new customers a first impression of you and your business, provide them answers to their questions about the services that you offer, gives them quick and easy ways to get in contact with you, and acts as a 24/7 salesman that you can use to impress your customers when you’re not available.
As you know, having a website is important to a business — but you may not have the time or resources to build one on your own which is where our white label website comes in. It’s pre-built for you, is sleek, mobile-responsive which is really important for a mobile app business, and is easy to configure. Just like you don’t need coding knowledge to build an app on Buildfire, you don’t need it to build your website either.
Using Our White Label Website vs. Your Own
Before we go over the different sections of the white label website there are a couple of things to consider when deciding on using the website that we offer or your own.
As we mentioned before one of the major advantages to using our website is that it’s already created for you and it’s easy to configure with your information. Now with that being said, if you want more control over your business’ website in terms of customization then you may want to consider creating your own website. What we mean by that is with our website you can show or hide different sections of the site, as well as change most of the information within those sections, but you can’t reorder them or change the color scheme of the site.
With our website it’s already integrated with your White Label account. Some of these integrations will take a bit more work to implement into your own website if you decided to make one, and some you wouldn’t fully be able to implement. So it’s up to you to decide if you want to use the website that we offer or create your own.
If you decide to use our website, you can always switch over to using your own in the future, so there’s really no disadvantage to start off with using ours. Before you get started with setting up your website, make sure to email us at wlsupport@buildfire.com so that our team can activate it first. Once you’ve done that, then you can start configuring your website.
Next we’ll go over how to access the white label website controls in the white label admin control panel and what each section of the website is.
How to access the White Label Website controls in the admin control panel
You can access the white label website controls by logging-in to your Admin Control Panel and clicking on the “White Label Website” tab on the left-hand side menu:
The different sections of the White Label Website
Once you’re on the “White Label Website” tab you’ll see a number of different sections. These allow you to configure the various sections of your white label website. These sections are:

Demo
In the Demo section you can add a list of features that your apps offer as well as provide your customers with a couple of demo apps to try. You’ll need to have a couple of apps already created in your white label account in order to do this.

If you haven’t already done this we recommend you do so if you’re planning on allowing your customers to build their own apps. You can learn how to set up your DIY page in this lesson.
Images
In the Images section you can upload all of the images that are used in the website. Here you’ll see the recommended image dimensions as well which makes it extremely easy to make sure your website looks the best it can.

If you’re previewing your white label website in another tab you’ll need to refresh that tab in order to see your changes take effect.
