Is this an official Mixo course?

No. This is my own lesson. Mixo is a separate, third-party product from mixo.io. The screenshots come from Mixo's own help center and are credited and linked under each one.

Mixo's help center says the free plan lets you create, edit and publish a website on a Mixo subdomain, such as yoursite.mixo.io, with hosting, SSL and Mixo branding, and one page. Paid plans add a custom domain, more pages, removing the branding and features such as Google Analytics. Check mixo.io/pricing for current plans.

Where do the sign-ups go?

To your site's Mixo dashboard, under Recent Subscribers. You get an email notification for each one, and Download CSV exports the list once you have at least one.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes, on a paid plan. Mixo's help center explains how to buy a domain through Mixo or connect one you already own.

How long does Mixo take to build a site?

Mixo's docs say the AI usually generates the preview in around 60 seconds.

Can Mixo make the site in another language?

Yes. When you start, you can be asked to pick the language for the text on your site.

Mixo Tutorial: A Landing Page That Collects Early Sign-ups

Free · Live nowBusiness AutomationsMixo~12 min17 stepsBeginner

Updated October 23, 2026. Built against the tool’s current screens and checked step by step. How we check this lesson

Most small firms build a new service first and find out later whether anyone wants it. A one-page site with a sign-up box answers that question in a few weeks, for almost nothing. Mixo (mixo.io) is an AI website builder: you describe your idea in one sentence, it builds the page, and you edit and publish it. In this free business-case lesson you help a made-up bookkeeping firm test a monthly Cash-Flow Check-in service, then follow Mixo's own help center to generate the page, rewrite the headline, turn the button into a sign-up form, add your logo and color, publish it and download the list of people who signed up. The screenshots on this page and in the lesson come from Mixo's help center, credited and linked under each one, so they show Mixo's demo sites. This is my own lesson, not an official Mixo course.

Time: about 12 minutes, 17 steps in 7 parts
Level: beginner, no coding needed

Part 1: Test the idea before you build it

Step 1: Price the risk

Meet Nora. She runs a small bookkeeping firm, and she wants to add a new service. Building it properly would take about thirty hours. That's real money, before she knows anyone wants it. So first, she'll test it. One page, one sign-up box, and a goal of twenty sign-ups.

Mixo in Stepthrough’s practice copy, step 1 of 17 (Price the risk): the cursor is on “total”, highlighted. — **Step 1 of 17.** Nora Okafor runs **Lakeshore Ledger**, a small bookkeeping firm (made up). She wants to add a new service, a monthly **Cash-Flow Check-in**: a 13-week cash forecast and a 30-minute call. Building it properly (templates, a checklist, pricing) is **about 30 hours** of her time. At $85 an hour, that is **about $2,550** spent before she knows anyone wants it. Her test: a one-page site with a sign-up box, and a goal of **20 early sign-ups in 3 weeks**. These are example numbers, so swap in your own. Click the **total**.

Step 2: Meet Mixo

Mixo is an A I website builder. You describe your idea in one sentence, and it builds the site. The screens in this lesson are screenshots from Mixo's own help center. So the names on them are Mixo's demo sites, not Nora's.

Mixo in Stepthrough’s practice copy, step 2 of 17 (Meet Mixo): the cursor is on “Mixo”, highlighted. — **Step 2 of 17.** Mixo (mixo.io) is an AI website builder. You describe your idea in one sentence, it builds a site with the words, images and a sign-up form, and you edit and publish it. Mixo's help center says creating and publishing your first site is free, on a Mixo address such as yoursite.mixo.io. **The Mixo screens in this lesson are screenshots from Mixo's own help center**, linked under each one. They show Mixo's demo sites, so yours will show your own. Click the **Mixo** card.

Part 2: Describe the idea in one sentence

Step 3: Type the idea

Go to app dot mixo dot io, and click Get Started. Be specific. Say what the service is, who it's for, and who runs it.

Mixo in Stepthrough’s practice copy, step 3 of 17 (Type the idea): the cursor is on “Get Started”, highlighted. — **Step 3 of 17.** Go to **app.mixo.io** and click **Get Started**. The first box asks for your idea in one sentence. Mixo's tutorial says to word it as a business idea, and the more specific the better: "an online hairdressing service" works better than "haircare". Type: *A monthly cash-flow check-in service for small business owners, run by Lakeshore Ledger, a bookkeeping firm, with a 13-week cash forecast and a 30-minute call each month*. You may also be asked to pick a goal, such as **Promote a service**, and a language. Click the **idea box**.

Step 4: Generate the site

It takes about a minute, and you can watch it build.

Mixo in Stepthrough’s practice copy, step 4 of 17 (Generate the site): the cursor is on “Generate Site”, highlighted. — **Step 4 of 17.** Click **Generate Site**. Mixo's docs say you can watch the AI build a preview of your site, and that it usually takes around **60 seconds**. Click **Generate Site**.

Step 5: Try another style

Here's your preview. Read it. Is this the service you meant? Don't like the look?

Mixo in Stepthrough’s practice copy, step 5 of 17 (Try another style): the cursor is on “Regenerate Style”, highlighted. — **Step 5 of 17.** The preview shows your site. Read the headline and the text: is this the service you meant? If you do not like the look, click **Regenerate Style** and pick a style from the menu. The words stay, the design changes. Click **Regenerate Style**.

Part 3: Save it and open the editor

Step 6: Click Save and customize

Happy with it? You may need to sign up or log in. Then, to stay on the free plan, just go to Sites.

Mixo in Stepthrough’s practice copy, step 6 of 17 (Click Save and customize): the cursor is on “Save and customize”, highlighted. — **Step 6 of 17.** Happy with it? Click **Save and customize** to save the site to your account. (The newer screenshot on the last step labels this button **Save and Continue**.) You may be asked to sign up or log in here. Mixo then shows upgrade options. To stay on the free plan, click **Sites** in the menu instead. Click **Save and customize**.

Step 7: Click Edit Site

Your site is in the list, not published yet.

Mixo in Stepthrough’s practice copy, step 7 of 17 (Click Edit Site): the cursor is on “Edit Site”, highlighted. — **Step 7 of 17.** Your site is in your **Sites** list, marked **Site not published yet**. Next to it are **Customize Domain**, **Site Settings** and **Edit Site**. Click **Edit Site** to open the Mixo editor.

Part 4: Make it ask for an email

Step 8: Open the Hero section

On the left are the sections of your page. On the right is a live preview. The hero is the top of the page.

Mixo in Stepthrough’s practice copy, step 8 of 17 (Open the Hero section): the cursor is on “Hero”, highlighted. — **Step 8 of 17.** The editor has the sections of your page down the left, and a live preview on the right. The **Hero** is the top of the page: the headline, the text under it and the button. Click **Hero**.

Step 9: Rewrite the headline

Make the headline say what the customer gets. Then say who it's for in the subtitle.

Mixo in Stepthrough’s practice copy, step 9 of 17 (Rewrite the headline): the cursor is on “Title”, highlighted. — **Step 9 of 17.** The AI wrote a headline. Make it say what the customer gets. In **Title**, type: *Know your cash for the next 13 weeks*. Under it, the **Subtitle** says who it is for and how it works, for example: *A 30-minute call each month and a 13-week forecast, from Lakeshore Ledger. Join the early list and we will tell you when it opens.* The preview updates as you type. Click **Title**.

Step 10: Turn on the sign-up form

Only one can be on, the button or the form. You want emails, so tick Show Signup Form.

Step 11: Label the button

Now label the button, so people know what they're signing up for.

Mixo in Stepthrough’s practice copy, step 11 of 17 (Label the button): the cursor is on “Button Label”, highlighted. — **Step 11 of 17.** The form has a **Placeholder** (the grey text in the email box) and a **Button Label**. Change the label to *Join the early list*, so people know what they are signing up for. Click **Button Label**.

Part 5: Save, then publish

Step 12: Add your logo and color

Upload your logo, and pick your brand color.

Step 12 of 17. At the top of the editor, open Settings, then Site. Here you upload your Site Logo, set the Logo Size, and pick a Primary Color and Secondary Color. The arrows in Mixo's screenshot show where each one appears on the page. Use your firm's logo and color, so the page looks like you. Click Primary Color.

Step 13: Click Save

Saving keeps your work. It doesn't make anything public.

Mixo in Stepthrough’s practice copy, step 13 of 17 (Click Save): the cursor is on “Save”, highlighted. — **Step 13 of 17.** Click **Save** at the top. Mixo's docs explain the difference: **Save** keeps your changes private, so you can come back later. Nothing is public yet. Click **Save**.

Step 14: Click Publish

Publish makes it live, on a free Mixo address. Later changes only go live when you publish again.

Mixo in Stepthrough’s practice copy, step 14 of 17 (Click Publish): the cursor is on “Publish”, highlighted. — **Step 14 of 17.** **Publish** makes the site live. On the free plan it goes on a Mixo address, such as yoursite.mixo.io, with hosting and SSL included. You may see a short processing status, then the site is live and the dashboard shows sharing tools. Changes you make later only go live when you publish again. Before you click it, ask a colleague to read the page once. Click **Publish**.

Part 6: See who signed up

Step 15: Read Recent Subscribers

Share the link. Every time someone signs up, Mixo adds them to your dashboard, and emails you.

Mixo in Stepthrough’s practice copy, step 15 of 17 (Read Recent Subscribers): the cursor is on “Dashboard”, highlighted. — **Step 15 of 17.** Share the link with your clients and contacts. When someone enters their email and submits, Mixo adds them to your site's dashboard, and its docs say you also get an email notification. Open **Dashboard** and scroll down to **Recent Subscribers**: the count, the date of the last sign-up, and each email with its date. The screenshot shows Mixo's demo site. Click **Recent Subscribers**.

Step 16: Download the list

Once someone signs up, click Download C S V. Then email each person within a day.

Mixo in Stepthrough’s practice copy, step 16 of 17 (Download the list): the cursor is on “Download CSV”, highlighted. — **Step 16 of 17.** Once you have at least one subscriber, **Download CSV** exports the list. Open it in Excel or Google Sheets, and email each person within a day to book their first check-in. Mixo's help center says a quick, personal reply is how you keep sign-ups interested. Click **Download CSV**.

Part 7: What to do next

Step 17: Decide with real numbers

In three weeks, count the sign-ups. Twenty? Build the service, and email the list first. Three? You just saved thirty hours. Try a different headline.

Mixo in Stepthrough’s practice copy, step 17 of 17 (Decide with real numbers): the cursor is on “decision”, highlighted. — **Step 17 of 17.** In three weeks, count the sign-ups. If Nora reaches 20 early sign-ups, she builds the service and emails the list first. If she gets three, she has saved about 30 hours and can test a different offer with a new headline. Click the **decision** card.

Now do it yourself, free

Reading the steps is a start. Doing them is how it sticks. The interactive lesson puts you in a practice copy of Mixo: you do every step yourself, it checks your work, and “Do it for me” finishes any step you get stuck on. Nothing touches your real accounts.

Practice “Mixo: Launch a Landing Page and Collect Early Sign-ups” step by step

The business case: test it before you build it

Picture Nora Okafor, who runs Lakeshore Ledger, a made-up bookkeeping firm. Clients keep saying they never know what next month's cash looks like, so she wants to add a monthly Cash-Flow Check-in: a 13-week cash forecast and a 30-minute call. Nobody has actually asked to buy it yet.

Here is the arithmetic, using example numbers you should replace with your own. Building the service properly (templates, a client checklist, pricing) is about 30 hours of her time. At $85 an hour, that is about $2,550 spent before she knows anyone wants it. The cheaper test is a one-page site that describes the service and asks for an email, with a goal set in advance: 20 early sign-ups in 3 weeks.

Who this is for, and what you need

Owners and managers at bookkeeping, consulting, HR and other professional firms who want to test a new service, workshop or package. To follow the practice you need nothing. To do it for real you need a Mixo account. Mixo's help center says the free plan lets you create, edit and publish a one-page site on a Mixo address, such as yoursite.mixo.io, with Mixo branding. Paid plans add a custom domain, more pages and no branding, so check mixo.io/pricing before you start.

A note on the screens: this lesson uses the screenshots Mixo publishes in its own help center. They show Mixo's demo sites, such as InHomeDesign and Wedding Wordsmiths, and some were taken on an older version of the app, so a label can differ a little from what you see.

Step 1: describe the idea in one sentence

Go to app.mixo.io and click Get Started. The first box asks for your idea in one sentence. Mixo's tutorial says to word it as a business idea, and the more specific the better: "an online hairdressing service" works better than "haircare". Name the service, the customer and what they get. The lesson uses: A monthly cash-flow check-in service for small business owners, run by Lakeshore Ledger, a bookkeeping firm, with a 13-week cash forecast and a 30-minute call each month.

You may also be asked to pick a goal, such as Promote a service, and a language. Click Generate Site. Mixo's docs say it usually takes around 60 seconds, and you can watch it build. If you do not like the look, click Regenerate Style and pick a style from the menu.

Step 2: save it and open the editor

Click Save and customize (newer screens say Save and Continue) to save the site to your account. You may be asked to sign up or log in. Mixo then shows upgrade options. To stay on the free plan, click Sites in the menu, find your site and click Edit Site.

The editor lists your page's sections on the left and shows a live preview on the right. Open Hero, the top of the page, and rewrite the Title so it says what the customer gets, for example "Know your cash for the next 13 weeks". Use the Subtitle to say who it is for and that they can join an early list.

Step 3: turn the button into a sign-up form

Scroll down the Hero section to Primary Button and Signup Form. Mixo's help center says only one of the two can be active at a time. Open Signup Form and tick Show Signup Form. The button in the preview becomes an email box and a button. Change the Button Label to something specific, such as "Join the early list", and leave the Placeholder as "Enter your email..." or reword it.

In the site Settings, under the Config tab, Signup Form Settings lets you change the confirmation page people see after they sign up, add a GDPR message as a checkbox they must tick, and turn on Captcha to stop spam sign-ups. Mixo's help center describes these settings. The lesson does not show them, because the help article has no screenshot of them.

Step 4: add your logo and color, save, then publish

Open Settings, then Site. Upload your Site Logo, set the Logo Size, and pick a Primary Color and Secondary Color, so the page looks like your firm. Click Save. Mixo's docs explain that Save keeps your changes private, while Publish puts them on the internet.

When the page reads well, click Publish at the top right. On the free plan the site goes on a Mixo address with hosting and SSL included. You may see a short processing status, then the dashboard shows sharing tools: a WhatsApp message, a social post to copy and local groups to share in. Mixo also tells search engines about the new page each time you publish. Changes you make later go live only when you publish again.

Step 5: see who signed up and follow up

When someone enters their email and submits, Mixo adds them to your site's dashboard, and the help center says you also get an email notification. Open Dashboard and scroll down to Recent Subscribers: the count, the date of the last sign-up, and each email with its date. Once you have at least one subscriber, Download CSV exports the list for Excel or Google Sheets.

Email each person within a day. Mixo's own advice is to reply quickly and personally. When the deadline comes, count: if you reached your goal, build the service and offer it to the list first. If not, you saved the hours, and you can change the headline or the offer and test again.

Mistakes to avoid

A vague idea sentence. "Bookkeeping" gets a generic page. Say the service, the customer and what they get.
Leaving the AI's headline as it is. Read every line and make it say what the customer gets.
Keeping the Primary Button on. You want emails, so switch to the Signup Form.
Clicking Save and expecting the change to be live. Only Publish makes it public.
Sharing the link without a goal and a deadline. Decide what number means yes before you start.
Waiting a week to reply to sign-ups. They are most interested on the day they sign up.

Try it yourself, free

Reading the steps is a start. Doing them is how it sticks. The interactive module walks you through every click in a practice copy of Mixo, checks each step, and never touches your real accounts.
