What is the Website Builder

A quick tour of the Website Builder and what you can create with it.

The Website Builder lets you create a professional looking website from your desktop or your phone. This article gives you a quick tour of what it can do.

How it works

You build your whole site from stackable, pre-designed blocks. No coding is needed unless you want to add it. Blocks can be duplicated and moved around the page, so you can shape your site in a few clicks.

The builder also has a smart interface: your content takes on the style of the template you choose, so your site always looks consistent.

Templates

The first step in creating your site is choosing a design from a large gallery of templates. Every template is made by a professional designer, so your site looks modern and polished from the start.

Templates come filled with sample images and text that you can replace with your own. They are sorted into categories, which makes it easier to pick one that suits your business.

Pick a template you like and start filling it with your content. You can also change its structure by moving blocks up and down and adding new ones.

Works on mobile

Every site you build is automatically optimized for mobile. Thanks to the block structure, your site adjusts to smaller screens on its own.

You can also edit your site from your phone or tablet.

Backups

The Website Builder backs up your site so your content stays safe. Your data is saved and archived regularly, so you can restore an earlier version if you ever need to.

Multilingual sites

If you sell to an international audience, a multilingual site helps you reach more people and enter new markets. The Website Builder supports more than one language on a single site.

Custom code

For advanced users who want deeper customization, the Website Builder offers an HTML embed block and a site settings section.

Domain search

Prices exclude VAT, which is added at checkout.
