Build and edit your first website

Your website is often the first impression a customer gets. LimeOrigin gives you a structured starting point, but the words and images should sound like you — and that's quick to do once you know how the editor works.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Understand sections

    Each page is built from sections — a hero, a list of services, testimonials, an FAQ, a call to action, and so on. You add, remove and reorder sections instead of dragging boxes around a blank canvas, so pages always stay tidy.

  2. 2

    Edit your words

    Click into any section and rewrite the text. If you're stuck, Origin Assist can rewrite a passage or suggest FAQs, grounded in your Blueprint — you approve every change.

  3. 3

    Add your images

    Upload images to your media library. LimeOrigin writes alt text for accessibility automatically, which you can edit.

  4. 4

    Preview, then publish

    Use the live preview to see exactly how your page will look on desktop and mobile, then publish. Your changes stay private until you do.

Best practices

  • Lead each page with the outcome for the customer, not a description of your company.
  • Keep paragraphs short and specific — visitors scan before they read.
  • Use real photos where you can; they build more trust than stock images.

Common mistakes

  • Leaving the generated placeholder wording unchanged on key pages.
  • Forgetting to check the mobile preview — most visitors are on a phone.
