How to Launch a Website from Blank in GoHighLevel

Launching a site from scratch in GoHighLevel is a structured, step-by-step process that feels similar to building organized workspaces in ClickUp. This guide walks you through creating a brand-new website using a blank template, adding pages, managing navigation, and publishing your site directly inside the platform.

Follow the instructions below to set up every part of your website, from the initial creation to basic layout and settings, using only the built-in tools in your account.

Access the Sites Area in GoHighLevel

Before you can build anything, you need to open the website builder area inside your GoHighLevel account.

  1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account with your usual credentials.

  2. From the main left-hand menu, click Sites.

  3. Under Sites, select the Websites section to view your existing sites and templates.

This is where all website assets are stored and where you will create your new blank site.

Create a New Blank Website in GoHighLevel

To start from scratch, you will launch a brand-new website that has no predefined content or layout.

  1. In the Websites area, click the + New Website button.

  2. Choose the option to start from a Blank Template (or similar blank option shown in the interface).

  3. Enter a clear and descriptive Website Name so you can easily identify it later inside GoHighLevel.

  4. Click Create or Save to generate the new blank website container.

Once created, the blank website appears in your list of sites and is ready for editing.

Open the GoHighLevel Website Builder

After creating your blank site, you will use the visual builder to configure pages and content.

  1. Locate the new website in your list.

  2. Click Edit or the website name to open the builder.

  3. The builder interface loads with a default empty page structure and the standard left and top toolbars.

At this stage, your site has minimal configuration, giving you full control to define all pages and layout components yourself.

Set Up Core Pages in GoHighLevel

Every new website should start with a basic set of core pages, even when beginning with a blank template.

Create Essential Pages in GoHighLevel

  1. Inside the builder, open the Pages panel.

  2. Click Add New Page.

  3. Name the first page (for example, Home).

  4. Repeat the process to add additional pages such as:

    • About

    • Services

    • Contact

    • Blog or Resources (if needed)

Each new page appears in the list, and you can switch between them inside the builder as you design the site.

Configure Page Settings

Once pages exist, adjust their key settings so they are ready for publishing and search visibility.

  1. Select a page in the Pages panel.

  2. Open Settings for that page.

  3. Set or confirm the following:

    • Page Name

    • URL Slug (short, readable link segment)

    • Visibility or publishing status

  4. Save changes before moving to the next page.

Repeat this process for each page in your GoHighLevel website so everything is properly labeled and ready to use.

Build Layout and Sections on Each Page

With pages in place, you can design the structure and layout of your website using the editor tools.

Add Sections and Rows

  1. On the desired page, click to add a new Section.

  2. Inside the section, add Rows to define columns and layout variations (for example, single column or two-column).

  3. Use multiple sections to separate logical content areas, such as hero banners, service descriptions, and contact forms.

Insert Content Elements

Within each row, you can place visual and interactive elements to build the page content.

  • Add Headlines and Paragraph elements for text.

  • Insert Images or Icons to support your message.

  • Use Buttons for calls-to-action.

  • Include Forms where visitors can submit information, such as on your Contact page.

Arrange and style each element using the builder controls until the layout matches your desired structure.

Configure Global Settings in GoHighLevel

To keep your website consistent, set up global options that automatically apply across all pages.

Set Global Styles

  1. Open the Global Settings or Theme section in the builder.

  2. Define your default Fonts for headings and body text.

  3. Choose the primary and secondary Colors for your brand.

  4. Save changes to apply the style set across your entire GoHighLevel website.

Configure Header and Footer

Headers and footers provide shared navigation and contact details.

  1. Create a header section that includes your logo and main menu links.

  2. Set the header to display on all relevant pages.

  3. Build a footer with key links, copyright text, and any contact or legal information.

  4. Apply the footer globally across your GoHighLevel pages.

These shared components ensure that your site looks unified and professional.

Set Up Navigation Menus in GoHighLevel

A clear menu structure helps visitors move through your site.

  1. Open the area where your main navigation resides (usually the header section).

  2. Add menu items that link to each of your key pages, such as Home, About, Services, and Contact.

  3. Verify that each link points to the correct internal page within your GoHighLevel website.

  4. Save and preview to ensure the navigation appears correctly on desktop and mobile views.

Adjust spacing and ordering so your main pages are easy to find.

Preview and Test Your GoHighLevel Website

Before you publish, thoroughly test the site to confirm it looks and behaves as expected.

  1. Click the Preview option in the builder.

  2. Review each page for layout, spelling, and image alignment.

  3. Test every button and form submission to confirm they are functional.

  4. Switch between desktop, tablet, and mobile previews to check responsive behavior.

Make adjustments in the editor as needed, then re-preview until everything renders clearly.

Publish Your GoHighLevel Website

Once your pages, navigation, and basic settings are complete, you can publish your new website.

  1. Return to the main website builder interface.

  2. Confirm that all pages you want live are set to the correct publishing status.

  3. Click the Save button to store all final changes.

  4. Use the Publish or equivalent option to make the website publicly accessible.

After publishing, go to the live URL in your browser and perform a final check on key pages.
