How to create a website

There are three simple ways to create a website with SpreadSimple. You can start by choosing one of our ready-made templates and then edit its source Google Sheet. Another option is to use our AI website creator: just describe what you want, and it will generate a website based on your prompt. Or, if you already have a Google Sheet filled with your content, you can paste its link and instantly turn it into a website. No matter which option you choose, you’ll have your site up and running in just a few minutes.


In this article, we’ll walk you through each of these three methods step by step.


Create a website from a template


If you don’t have your content ready in Google Sheets yet, or if you’d like to get started quickly without spending much time on customization, the easiest option is to create a website from a template. Templates give you a ready-to-use structure you can adjust later.


  1. Log in to your Dashboard and click on the + button



  1. Select one of the templates and click on Use template. You can also view every template before choosing it.



Basically each template is a set of pre-defined settings. All features are available for every template, and each website can be easily customized. You can learn more about the templates here.



In a few moments, your website will be created. You will also get a copy of website's source Google Sheet that you can fill out with your own content. You can also change the source Sheet in the Content Tab.


Change the source Google Sheet


  1. Make sure that your Google Sheet allows public view. This is required so SpreadSimple can have access to your Sheet to read and display the data:



  1. Go to the Content Tab and click on the Change source sheet.



  1. Paste your Google Sheet link and click Submit



After the sheet is changed, you'll need to set the mapping — connect the columns from the Sheet to the card elements, e.g., Title, Price, Image, etc. You can learn more about Mapping your Sheet data to website elements here.




If you already have your content prepared in your Google Sheets, you can create a website by adding your Google Sheets link.


  1. Make sure that your Google Sheet allows public view. This is required so SpreadSimple can have access to your Sheet to read and display the data:



  1. Log in to your Dashboard and click on the + button



  1. Copy your Google Sheet link and paste it to the dedicated field:



A tip: By default SpreadSimple uses the first Sheet (tab) in the spreadsheet. If your spreadsheet has multiple sheets and you don't want to use the first one as the data source but want to use another one, make sure that the sheet link ends with #gid=012345678 (this is an example). This gid number identifies which Sheet from the spreadsheet will be opened.



Click Continue and in a few moments a website will be created for you.


Now you can customize the design, the content representation, change the domain and other settings.
