This is Step 1 in our Getting started with the Site Builder guide. Head over to the overview page to start at the beginning!

Opening your site editor

To build and edit your homepage, you’ll need to access the Site builder.


Click Website and select Edit site in the right upper menu.

Choosing your Site options

If this is your first time opening the site builder, you'll be prompted to select the options that would better suit the site you're building.

  1. Pick a color combination from the available options and select one of the starting template options

The starting template will add a couple of page sections to your site to help you get started. This won't change the structure of your site.

Choose carefully, as the starting template CANNOT be modified once your site is created.

  • Blank site: If you want to start from scratch and build everything yourself

  • Email lander: A simple page that collects emails from your audience (example)

  • Link page: A simple page with links to the rest of your online presence, such as social media profiles, external site, etc. (example)

  • Full website: We will generate a complete and customizable website for you. (example)

Selecting a site language

After you hit continue, you will be prompted to set your site's language.

You can always change this in your settings later!

Viewing your site

Now you're ready to view and edit your site! Click Show me my site. You will be redirected to the site editor for your new website based on the options you chose during onboarding! ✨


When you're ready to customize the site, head to the next step in the guide!
