Site Builder
Getting started
How to buy a Site Builder
The quickest, easiest and most convenient way is to buy your website online.
- Create your website—follow the steps online. You can save and return to it later if you want to.
- Create your Priority Advert—this is the listing that displays the link to your website. Once you have created this, you can add both your website and Priority Advert to your shopping basket.
- Give payment details—pay by debit or credit card using our secure online payment system.
- Yell Direct account—your free online account will be set up for you at the same time.
- An e-mail confirmation of your order will be sent to you.
- Advert live on Yell.com—we aim to get your advert live on Yell.com within two to three working days (subject to when you place your order—orders placed over a weekend may take longer—and the advert meeting our advertising policies).
- You will be notified by e-mail when your advert and website are live.
- Then it's up to you—amend, update and manage your Yell advertising on Yell Direct when it suits you.
To buy advertising using alternative payment methods, please call 0800 328 0028, or you can e-mail us with your query.
How to create a winning website
We recommend that a website tells users specific things about a business. Effective websites combine an eye-catching design with useful information about what the company offers. It's best to list your products and services, include special offers and latest promotions, and highlight your business's unique selling points.
Our Site Builder system offers thousands of combinations of colours, layouts and images that you can control through our easy-to-use interface. With such a wide choice, your website will be professional and unique to your business.
The Site Builder system also enables you to tell people what your business offers in a really specific way that helps people find you on Yell.com and encourages them to visit or contact you.
We also recommend that you purchase a unique domain name so that you can promote your website with a professional internet address and accompanying e-mail addresses. See How will it work?

Tip:
Before creating your website, we recommend collecting together any promotional materials you've produced, such as leaflets or adverts, to give you some ideas about how best to describe your business. This can also be useful if you want to convey a consistent message.
How to keep your website up-to-date
When you buy a website online, you are asked to set up your free, secure online Yell Direct account, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, allowing you to manage all your Yell advertising at a time that suits you.
You can update your Priority Advert and website content, including images and business details as often as you like, so you can ensure that you are always advertising the correct contact information and the latest products, services and offers.
Changes will go live as soon as they are checked by a member of our Yell.com service team
If you bought your advert over the phone or from a sales consultant, you can register now for your account. After registering, you will be sent a PIN (personal identification number) in the post, which you will only need the first time you log in, to activate your account. Thereafter you can log in any time with just your username and password.
