Table of Contents<\/strong><\/p>\n MotoCMS Website Builder works a bit differently compared to most of its biggest competitors. Instead of a subscription model, users purchase licenses for website templates along with access to the service\u2019s website building tools. Once you\u2019ve paid for a template, you\u2019re free to edit it as you like and use it on one domain (more if you purchase a developer\u2019s license).<\/p>\n Templates can cost as low as $31, but these options are limited to single landing pages. If you want support for multiple pages, the lowest prices as of this writing is at $129. Other templates can cost a bit more. However, you can expect to pay upwards of $200 – $300 especially if you opt for multiple add-ons.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If that\u2019s a bit too steep for your budget, don\u2019t worry. MotoCMS offers a free 14 day trial for all of their templates. It\u2019s highly recommended that you take advantage of this trial before making any purchase. You\u2019ll unlock all the customization options and have a good amount of time to tailor a template to your preferences. Just sign up with your email address and get to tinkering.<\/p>\n (Each account can only edit one trial template at a time. If you want to try out multiple templates simultaneously, you\u2019ll need to sign up with different email addresses.)<\/p>\n After the 14 day trial is over, you\u2019ll have to either purchase the template or lose all the changes you\u2019ve applied.<\/p>\n Another option is to buy templates in bulk to enjoy instant discounts for up to 50 templates. Discounts equate to the number of templates you buy. For example, 10% off for 10 templates, 20% for 20, and so on.<\/p>\n Here are some other features that MotoCMS offers:<\/p>\n MotoCMS has thousands of beautiful, professional templates that cover any niche imaginable.<\/p>\n No matter what type of website you\u2019re trying to create – whether a blog, eCommerce store, portfolio, or anything in between – you\u2019ll find something to suit your needs. More templates are added daily. Even better, plenty of templates regularly go on sale!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Just search by keyword or browse by category to find the perfect template for your website. Once you\u2019ve selected a template you like, hover over its thumbnail and click on the Try For Free button. You\u2019ll be prompted to input your email address, after which you can start customizing your selection.<\/p>\n Not to take away from MotoCMS\u2019 stellar collection of templates, but the real highlight of the service is the MotoCMS website builder. It\u2019s one of the most robust and intuitive tool sets you\u2019ll find and should allow you to design your website as how you envision it.<\/p>\n First-timers to the website builder will be greeted by popup boxes that describe the tools and their uses. You\u2019ll find that those aren\u2019t really needed, however. A clean, attractive UI makes it all very easy to learn.<\/p>\n Various website elements, called widgets, can be added via a drag-and-drop system. You can also edit the contents of these widgets, such as text and images, when applicable. Changes you make will be visible in real time. You can also adjust each element\u2019s properties – like spacing, alignment, color, and so on. It all allows for incredible fine-tuning!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To make things even better, MotoCMS lets you preview your website as how it would appear on desktop, tablet, mobile landscape, or mobile portrait mode.<\/p>\n Overall, editing templates is rightfully how you’d expect it to be – simple to use but delivers fantastic results.<\/p>\n If you want to further tweak a template, MotoCMS lets you add code to any template. Navigate to a template\u2019s settings tab and look for the section called Code Injection. You\u2019ll be able to input your own HTML, CSS, or Javascript codes for headers and footers.<\/p>\n You can also add codes to any part of your pages via the Embed widget.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re a web developer and require custom scripts for your website, you can contact customer representatives to aid in this matter. MotoCMS is closed source, meaning you can\u2019t personally edit their code. You can, however, request them to implement your script, if needed.<\/p>\n When you\u2019re satisfied with your template, you can proceed to purchasing it for your own use. When you reach the checkout page, you can purchase a number of different add-ons for your website. Payment options include major credit cards and PayPal.<\/p>\n If you need to make further changes to your template after you\u2019ve paid for it, simply navigate to your MotoCMS account page.<\/p>\n (Providing an email address for a 14 day trial automatically assigns you an account and password – check your inbox for details.)<\/p>\n From there, you\u2019ll see your purchased template, as well as any other trials or licenced templates you might already have. You can continue to make any edits as you did during the trial and publish those to your live site.<\/p>\n Users who purchase multiple templates are rewarded by MotoCMS with huge discounts on template prices. There are 6 tiers to the loyalty program, each one with correspondingly bigger discounts than the previous. The first tier grants users a 10% discount, while the highest one grants 50% off – translating to huge savings!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Other rewards include: free Premium support for a set duration (more on this later), as well as reduced prices on White Label licenses.<\/p>\n (White Label licenses allow you to sell MotoCMS templates under your own brand, letting you build a web development business of your own.)<\/p>\n Users can climb up the tiers by purchasing templates and completing certain tasks on the MotoCMS website. Some tiers will require specific actions to be completed, such as leaving reviews, sharing a video testimonial, referring a friend to the service, and other similar activities.<\/p>\n The main benefactors of the MotoCMS Loyalty Program are web developers who have multiple projects to deliver. It\u2019s an awesome feature that lets you reduce your overhead as you complete more jobs.<\/p>\n Aspiring newcomers to the field can also take advantage of the program. It\u2019s a great way of building up your portfolio and could help you break into a very lucrative industry.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll have no problem reaching a MotoCMS representative when you need one. MotoCMS provides around-the-clock support in the form of a live chat tool and manned phone lines. Most representatives are well-equipped to handle your concerns.<\/p>\n You can also contact them via email, online ticket, WhatsApp, and Telegram.<\/p>\n You may also purchase Premium support for 3 months at $39. This puts you in a priority queue for telephone consultations. Other benefits include: faster ticket response times, free installation on all your templates, and webmaster assistance which gives you greater control in template customization.<\/p>\n In addition to MotoCMS\u2019s FAQs, guides, and video tutorials, users can also sign up for a 5-day training course on web development. This service is completely free – only requiring a valid email address to avail.<\/p>\n Topics include an introduction to the MotoCMS tool set, guides on how to create and edit a template, as well as integrating with social media accounts.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you\u2019re a complete newbie to web development, this is a great way to get accustomed to the workflow. You\u2019ll be able to use what you learn here on other services as well – as the principles are, for the most part, similar across different platforms.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n
