Before you can build your site, you need to do two things: create your account, and choose a plan. Choosing a plan is what unlocks the guided setup, so plan on doing both in one sitting.
Where to Find This
Start on our homepage or the Pricing page. Account creation and plan selection both happen here, before you reach your dashboard.
You don't fill in a registration form inside the app. You create your account the first time you sign in through our secure sign-in page, which is hosted by Microsoft. Everything below happens there.
Step 1: Create Your Account
-
Click Sign In – On our homepage, click the Sign In button. (On the Pricing page, the button on each plan reads Sign up / Log in to purchase — either one takes you to the same secure sign-in page.)
-
Create your account on the sign-in page – You'll be taken to a secure sign-in page hosted by Microsoft. If you don't have an account yet, use the Sign up now option there and follow the prompts to register with your email address.
-
Confirm your email – As part of signing up, you'll be asked to confirm your email address with a code sent to your inbox.
InfoCheck your spam or junk folder if the email doesn't arrive within a few minutes.
-
Return to Bizzly – Once you've signed in, you're brought back to Bizzly. If you haven't chosen a plan yet, you land straight on a "Your business, up and running in minutes" welcome screen instead of your dashboard — that's where Step 2 below picks up.
Every time you come back, use the same Sign In button and the same email you registered with. If you ever forget your password, use the reset option on the sign-in page.
Step 2: Choose a Plan
Signing in creates your account, but the guided setup stays locked until you have an active plan.
-
Open the Pricing page – Head to the Pricing page to compare plans, or click Choose a plan & start free trial on the welcome screen if you're already looking at it. Many plans start with a free trial.
-
Pick your plan – On the plan you want, click the button to start. Once you're signed in, that button reads Start [N]-day free trial (showing your plan's trial length, for example "Start 14-day free trial") — or Choose [plan name] if the plan has no trial. Either one takes you through to confirm your plan.
-
Confirm your plan – Complete the short checkout to activate your plan. An active plan is the key that unlocks the setup tools.
Sign in without an active plan and your whole dashboard is replaced by a single welcome screen headed "Your business, up and running in minutes" — there's no sidebar or tabs to click around yet, just an overview of what Bizzly gives you and a highlighted Next step box reading "Choose a plan to start your free trial and unlock onboarding." Its Choose a plan & start free trial button takes you to the Pricing page to finish Step 2 above.
Once your plan is active, the full dashboard appears with the Onboarding tab unlocked.
What Happens Next?
With your account created and a plan active, you're ready to build. Go to the Services page and open the Onboarding tab in the left-hand menu — it's now enabled.
From there, pick the walkthrough that matches what you want to build:
- Full Business Setup — bookings, payments, and a full business site.
- Landing Page Setup — a faster marketing site with a contact form.
