How to Build a Website: Design Editor

Build your website in the Design Editor by adding the required elements to the Canvas, styling them, and configuring their properties.

Basic Blocks

To create structure and arrange elements conveniently, use the basic site blocks from the Elements → Basic section:

  • Section – for dividing the page into structural segments
  • Container – for centering content within a Section
  • Div block – for grouping elements

Click the + button on the left panel → In the Elements panel, find the needed block and add it by clicking or dragging it to the Canvas.

Elements and Widgets

Add the necessary elements or widgets inside the basic block. You can choose from:

  • Text elements — Text, Text Link, Rich Text
  • Media elements — Image, Video
  • Widgets — List, Block List, Menu, Accordion, Tabs, Form, and others
