Website Templates and Custom Code

Three weeks ago, we launched the ✨beta✨ of our brand-new website builder. It’s sleek, flexible, and built to power some truly unique sites.

The beta is currently available to Max and Enterprise users, with plans to roll it out to everyone in due time.

We’ve been listening to our early adopters, and every day our team ships more than a dozen updates and new features to make the builder even better. Today, I’ll show you some of the biggest new additions…

Website Templates

Our design team has been hard at work crafting a collection of stunning templates — just for you 🫵.

This past week, we launched three new templates that give you a plug-and-play foundation for your site. Think of them as a cheat code for a beautiful website, saving you hours of tweaking and styling.

Don’t see one you love yet? No sweat. We’re building out a full template library, dropping new designs each week until there’s something for everyone.

Custom HTML Blocks

The new website builder comes packed with dozens of native elements to support a range of layouts, embeds, and styling (with many more on the way).

But native elements alone can’t support every single creative vision and use case. That’s why we launched custom HTML blocks, giving you the freedom to drop in your own code and customize your site exactly how you want.

Beast mode: unlocked 🔓️.

Animations & Hover Effects

Nothing grabs attention like motion. Maybe it’s hardwired into us, a survival instinct from eons ago when our ancestors roamed the savannah (or something like that...I’m a product guy, not a biologist).

Anyway, you can now build fully responsive websites with tasteful animations and hover effects. Bring your site to life with animations that add a touch of personality and visual flair 🕺.

Or, tap into our library of hover effects to highlight key elements, encourage actions, and create a more intentional, engaging experience for your readers.

Video Tutorials

Our product marketer (and star of the beehiiv YouTube channel), Steven Van, built a beautiful website for his publication, Creator Toolbox. Fortunately for us, he recorded a full video tutorial showing us how he did it.

Not to be outdone (even though I totally was), I also documented my journey rebuilding the Big Desk Energy website.
