Known in the freelance industry for creating user-friendly tools that make freelancing sustainable, Bloom.io recently announced the launch of their full-featured website builder. As the name suggests, the new website builder comes loaded with easy-to-use features, from specially designed templates and pre-built sections to AI writing tools, eCommerce, and more, all designed to create professional websites quickly and with minimal hassle. The new website builder should remove a lot of the challenges associated with creating professional quality websites and help keep your business visible online. Also, those who use Bloom.io’s CRM platform (which we’ve previously reviewed) will be happy to know that the website you’re building will be directly linked to your CRM, further streamlining your workflow to create a better experience for you and your customers.

Bloom.io Full-Featured Website Builder

Here’s a quick look at some of the key features and highlights noted in Bloom.io’s announcement of the new full-featured website builder, which is available as of September 5th.

1. Freelancing Templates

To help get you started on the right track, Bloom.io’s website builder features several new pre-designed templates that have been created for a wide range of freelancing categories, including photography, design, marketing, online shops, and more. As photographers, we can use any number of these templates, although the website portfolio is particularly well-suited for showcasing images. You can explore and demo the different templates until you find one that suits your business. If you decide on a different template at some point, Bloom.io will transfer all of your information over from one template to the other.

2. Pre-Built Sections and AI Writing

You won’t need any coding knowledge or experience and planning the site is a cinch. Each template comes loaded with pre-built sections, and these template blocks feature drag-and-drop capability. All you need to do is organize the blocks you have available from within the template you’ve chosen. Once they’re in place, take advantage of Bloom.io’s AI writer and complete the templates with relevant content geared towards improving SEO ranking. This feature will prove especially useful when adding tip-oriented or copy-heavy content to your site pages.

3. Sales and Landing Pages

They reduce clutter and make it easy for site visitors to find specific information that they’re looking for, which helps generate leads, convert product sales, and so on. By incorporating relevant keywords, meta tags, and high-quality content, you increase the chances of your landing page appearing in search results for relevant queries. Bloom.io offers clean landing page templates that you can use to promote offers on unique sales pages. If you’re new to creating landing pages, you can explore other established sales pages through Bloom.io to help convert your offers.

4. Multiple Website Building

With Bloom.io’s website builder, you can create several websites for multiple businesses. You are not limited to just one. For example, if you’ve divided up your business into separate brands, say one for wedding photography and another for family or maternity photography, you can easily build websites for each brand, all under one portal using your same plan.

5. High Performance

If you’ve ever visited a sluggish website, you know how frustrating it can be. Potential clients won’t spend too much time waiting for pages to load at any point during the visit. According to the team at Bloom.io, Google’s Core Web Vitals ranked Bloom.io’s website builder as the fastest when compared to such builders as WordPress, Squarespace, Webflow, Wix, and Shopify.

6. Blogging Tools

Blogs can go a long way toward helping your website rank well. Of course, this depends on how well they’re optimized for SEO. Fortunately, Bloom.io’s website builder includes several SEO optimization tools, including keywords, blog tags, post scheduling, descriptions, and more.

7. eCommerce Ready
