The New Website Builder ✨

Today we are launching the all new Website Builder — quite possibly one of the largest updates we have ever released.

You can now build beautiful websites easier than ever before, and you’ll never need to write a single line of code.

Let me show you what’s possible 👇️ 

Website Styles

There are three tabs located in the top left of the Website Builder: Styles, Layouts, and Settings.

We’ll start with Styles — which is home to everything related to your global website colors, typography, forms, widgets, borders, etc. Here you’ll be able to:

• Choose the colors and fonts used for your posts, navigation, footer, headers, forms, and more.

• Build custom subscribe forms and buttons.

• Hide or display comments, authors, dates, badges, and widgets.

• Update the borders, shadows, and fonts of each element.

• And so much more…

Almost every component can be customized by choosing from millions of colors, a variety of web fonts (or any Google Font), and additional styling options.

Website Layout

The Layout tab is where it really gets fun; go deeper and customize individual sections of your website in more granular detail.

• Build custom webpages for your site.

• Add menu items and dropdowns to the navigation menu.

• Select featured posts to highlight.

• Add custom background images and text to the hero section.

• Choose the pattern and colors used for the archive.

• Add testimonials and FAQs to the Upgrade Page.

• Highlight your latest posts for visitors on the Subscribe Page.

• And so much more…

Reminder: You can toggle between the Home Page, Signup Page, and Upgrade Page in the dropdown at the top.

Website Settings

We took all of the website-related settings that were previously buried throughout the app and moved them into the new Website Builder.

• Tracking Pixels

• SEO Settings

• Social Media Links

• Custom Signup Flow

• Comment Settings

• Website Security

• GDPR, CCPA, & Compliance

If you need to update anything related to your website, you can find it here.
