How to Launch a Website from a Template in GoHighLevel

If you are moving from tools like ClickUp into a dedicated marketing platform, learning how to launch a website from a template in GoHighLevel is an essential first step. This guide walks you through choosing a website template, customizing it, connecting your domain, and making your site live.

Before You Start with GoHighLevel Templates

Before launching your site, make sure you have access to your GoHighLevel account and the sub-account (location) where you want the website to live.

You will also need:

  • Permission to edit funnels and websites in your GoHighLevel location
  • Access to your domain registrar (for DNS changes if you plan to connect a custom domain)
  • Any branding assets you want to use, such as logo and colors

Accessing Website Templates in GoHighLevel

GoHighLevel provides ready-made website templates that you can use as a starting point. Follow these steps to access them:

  1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account and select the correct sub-account.

  2. In the left-hand navigation, click Sites.

  3. Under Sites, choose Websites to open the website management area.

  4. Click the button to create a new website from a template. Depending on your interface, this may be labeled + New Website, New Site, or similar.

You will now see the available website templates that come with GoHighLevel.

Selecting a GoHighLevel Website Template

Once you are in the templates gallery, you can choose a layout that matches your needs.

Use the following process to pick the best GoHighLevel template:

  1. Browse the categories or use filters (if available) to narrow down by niche or style.

  2. Click on a template thumbnail to preview the full website layout.

  3. Review key sections such as the hero header, services, testimonials, and contact form.

  4. When you find a suitable option, click Use Template or the equivalent button.

GoHighLevel will now create a new website in your location based on the template you selected.

Customizing Your GoHighLevel Website

After cloning the template into your account, you can adjust the content and design to match your brand.

Open the Website Editor in GoHighLevel

  1. Go back to Sites > Websites inside your GoHighLevel location.

  2. Locate the newly created website from the template list.

  3. Click on the site name or the Edit icon to open the visual builder.

Edit Pages and Sections

Inside the website editor, you can modify each page:

  • Select a page from the page list to start editing its layout.

  • Click text elements to change headings, body copy, and calls to action.

  • Replace placeholder images with your own media files.

  • Adjust buttons so they link to the right forms, calendars, or funnels.

Use short, clear content and keep your primary call to action visible above the fold on your GoHighLevel pages.

Update Branding and Global Settings

To keep your site consistent, configure global styles:

  • Set brand colors for buttons, links, and backgrounds.

  • Choose your heading and body fonts.

  • Upload your logo and favicon where available.

Applying these global changes in GoHighLevel will help ensure your whole website follows the same branding rules.

Managing Pages Inside GoHighLevel

Your website template may come with multiple pages already set up. You can add, remove, or rename them.

Add or Remove Pages

  1. In the website builder, open the pages panel.

  2. Click + Add Page to create a new page using a blank layout or prebuilt section.

  3. To delete a page you do not need, select it and use the delete option, then confirm.

Keep only the pages that support your goals, such as Home, About, Services, and Contact.

Set the Home Page

The main page visitors see first should be your home page.

  1. In the pages list, identify the page you want to use as the primary landing page.

  2. Use the settings icon and select the option to mark it as the Home or default page.

This ensures your GoHighLevel website loads the correct page when visitors enter your root domain.

Connecting a Domain to Your GoHighLevel Website

To make your site publicly accessible on your own URL, you need to connect a domain.

Set Up the Domain Inside GoHighLevel

  1. From your GoHighLevel location, navigate to Settings.

  2. Click on Domains.

  3. Choose the option to add a new domain.

  4. Enter the domain or subdomain you want to use (for example, www.yourdomain.com).

GoHighLevel will display the DNS records you must configure at your domain registrar.

Update DNS Records at Your Registrar

Log in to the company where you purchased your domain (such as GoDaddy, Namecheap, or Cloudflare) and add the required DNS records:

  • Typically, you will add or edit a CNAME record pointing your subdomain to the value provided by GoHighLevel.

  • In some setups, you may also need an A record for the root domain.

After saving DNS changes, propagation may take some time. Once complete, return to the Domains area in GoHighLevel to verify the connection.

Publishing Your GoHighLevel Website

Once your site design and domain are ready, you can publish your website.

  1. Open Sites > Websites in your selected location.

  2. Select the website you built from the template.

  3. Confirm that the domain is correctly assigned to this site in the settings.

  4. Use the Save and Publish options in the builder to push changes live.

After publishing, visit your domain in a browser to confirm that your GoHighLevel pages load as expected.

Testing and Optimizing Your New GoHighLevel Site

Before sending traffic, test all key elements of your website:

  • Submit test forms and verify that contacts appear correctly in your CRM.

  • Check calendars, appointment booking, and confirmation pages.

  • Ensure buttons link to the correct URLs, funnels, or external resources.

  • View your site on mobile, tablet, and desktop to confirm responsive design.

Because GoHighLevel integrates with your marketing and automation tools, you can connect workflows, email sequences, and pipelines to leads generated from your website.
