How to create your first Zap website [video]

by Gavin Donnelly

After you’ve downloaded and installed Zapd it’s time to  sign in and start making your mobile-friendly, personalized mini websites. We call those Zaps. If you haven’t already created your first Zap here is a step-by-step video guide to get you started.

Here are the steps:
  1. Open Zapd on your iPhone
  2. Log in to Zapd using either Facebook or your email address
  3. Hit the orange plus sign in the bottom right-hand corner
  4. Scroll through the list of themes and pick one for your new site (see this post for more info on themes)
  5. Choose what kind of content you want your first post to be (photo, text, or link)
    • We recommend a photo as your first post because this is what people will see as a preview of your Zap
  6. After you’ve added some content to your first post you will be taken to the settings page. Here you can:
    • Change your Zap’s title and URL to describe it and make it easier to remember and share
    • Change the theme
    • Categorize your Zap based on what it’s about and add descriptive tags
    • Choose whether your Zap is public or private
  7. After you’ve adjusted your settings hit “Done” in the upper right-hand corner
  8. Congratulations you’ve now published your first Zap!
  9. Don’t forget: always share it with friends and your audience via Facebook, Twitter or email [Zaps are meant to be shared]
What kinds of Zaps are you making? We love to see what people are creating on Zapd so don’t hesitate to share your sites with us on Twitter @zapdapp or facebook.com/zapdapp!
