Builder Tour
When you first use Gator, a tour of the interface shows you how to proceed.
Templates
Like most DIY site-building services, Gator has you choose a template to get started. The options are plentiful and attractive.
Builder Interface
You can either drag an element anywhere onto a page or click the plus sign at the bottom to add a new section, with options for images, text, or a combination of elements.
Images
Gator includes good image formatting tools, with an online repository of your uploaded pictures and a selection of over half a million stock photos to choose from.
Add Pages
You get a lot of choices of page types, and hierarchical navigation options with Gator.
Blog Templates
Fifteen well-designed and modern templates get you started with creating your blog. You can save a post as a draft before publishing it, but you can't schedule one to be published at a specific date and time.
Digital Product
The eCommerce plan lets you easily set up a web store and even sell digital downloads.
Mobile Editor
You can customize the automatically generated mobile version of your site, turning off elements that don't make sense on it.
Start Store
The simple getting-started page asks you to add your first product. It's far less intimidating than some other online store services.
