About Your Website in Mailchimp

When you start your business, you want potential customers to know who you are, what you have to offer, and how to make a purchase. Mailchimp’s website features help you introduce yourself to the world while staying in touch with your audience.

In this article, you'll learn about websites in Mailchimp.

Things to know

• Custom HTML, iframes, and merge tags aren’t compatible with your Mailchimp website at this time.
• Before you can publish a website, you must agree to our additional terms.

How it works

Your website is an important part of your brand identity. Mailchimp’s website feature is free and available to all users, so you can start to build your brand from day one.

In Mailchimp, you can create as many web pages as you need for your website and use our mailchimpsites.com domain to publish them at no extra cost. If you want to use a different domain, you can purchase one in Mailchimp or connect one from another service.

About the website dashboard

Our website dashboard helps you add and manage pages on your website. Here, you can choose to show or hide published pages, include or exclude pages in the site navigation bar, and edit each page's URL and SEO settings. You can also update tracking to collect information about site visitors.

About the website builder

Our drag-and-drop website builder works a lot like our email builder, so you can quickly style and edit your content as needed. Use our placeholder text and images to help guide your design, and mix and match content blocks to achieve the right look or purpose for your page. Click on Edit to access the builder for a particular web page.

About Content Blocks

About the page manager

When you're in the website builder, use page manager to create additional web pages, edit each page's URL and SEO settings, and arrange the order of those pages in the navigation bar. Click on Edit Site in the Mailchimp dashboard to access the page manager, or click on the arrow icon next to the name of the web page you're editing.

How to use your website

Here are some ideas on how you can use your website to promote your business or project and grow your audience.

  Give your audience a glimpse into your business’s origins. Let your visitors know how you’ve gotten to where you are today.
