Do I need to be a good designer to use SiteBuilder? Print

No. You do not need design experience or coding knowledge to use Website Builder.

Website Builder is designed to help you create a website using pre-built templates and visual editing tools, making it accessible even if you are new to website design. Before starting, it is helpful to review what Website Builder is designed for to understand its overall capabilities.

How design works in Website Builder

Website Builder uses a template-based design system. This means your website starts with a theme that already includes:

• A structured layout

• Predefined styles (colors, fonts, spacing)

• Organized sections for content

You can choose a theme that matches your style and then customize it to fit your needs.

Editing is done using drag-and-drop tools. You can:

• Add and edit text

• Insert images

• Move sections around

• Update colors and fonts

All of this is done visually, without writing any code.

What to keep in mind

Website Builder is flexible, but it follows a structured layout system. This means:

• Layouts are built in sections, not from a blank canvas

• You can customize within the theme’s structure

• Some layout changes may be limited by the selected theme

• Advanced design changes may require custom code

It also helps to understand how content elements work, as each element behaves differently within a layout.

Getting started

To begin building your website:

1. Select a theme

2. Add your content

3. Adjust fonts, colors, and layout sections

4. Preview your website
