Your Head Start
Start from a layout somebody has already designed
A blank screen is a slow start. Take the template built for your kind of site — a restaurant menu, a photography portfolio, an agency landing page — and it loads with sensible sections already in place. Then move them, restyle them or throw them out entirely.
- Over 100 designer-built layouts
- Made for shops, journals and portfolios
- Nothing is locked — edit any element
- Prefer to start from nothing? Do that
Why It Works
It all runs in the browser — nothing to download
Grab, place, finished
Pick a block up and set it down where it belongs; the layout closes around it at once. What the editor shows and what the visitor loads are one and the same.
Start on 100+ templates
Agencies, journals, portfolios, restaurants, online stores — each has a ready layout waiting. Push one far enough and nobody could tell where it started.
Small screens handled up front
Nothing further to set: each layout redraws itself for tablets and handsets. A separate mobile view is there when the fine detail needs polishing.
Sell straight from the page
Add a product grid, basket and checkout in a few drags and orders can start arriving. No bolt-on retail platform, no plugin to wrestle.
Your name, your palette
Change fonts, colours and imagery in a click. Set the palette once and every page follows it, with no repeat setup.
SEO controls on every page
Every page gives you the title tag, the meta description and the image alt text to complete, so a crawler reads precisely the wording you picked.
Nothing To Code
Editing is pointing and clicking
Everything responds the way you expect. Click an element to edit it, drag it somewhere else to move it, drop a new section into any gap you find. Themes need no setup, there is no markup to troubleshoot and no update backlog waiting — the page simply reacts as quickly as you work.
- What you edit is what publishes
- One click changes a font, colour or rule
- Step back or forward at any moment
- Nothing to patch, no add-ons to mind
Mobile First
Every layout adjusts itself to the device
Phones account for over half of all web traffic, so small screens are handled from the very first block you drop. Reflow happens on its own, and the mobile preview is where you fine-tune sizing and spacing until text stays readable and buttons stay easy to hit.
- Responsive behaviour comes as standard
- A separate phone preview mode
- Tap targets built for fingers
- NVMe hosting keeps loads quick
Ready To Sell

Slot the selling blocks into any layout and orders can start arriving. Nothing else to buy, nothing new to learn.

FAQ
Straight answers about the builder
What does the builder cost?
If you host with us, nothing — every web hosting plan already includes it, so current customers pay no more. Want the builder on its own? The standalone Website Builder plan runs $2.99/mo and comes with quick NVMe hosting plus a free SSL certificate.
Is any coding experience needed?
Not a bit. Everything happens visually: drag, drop, click, type. Plenty of finished sites travel from blank page to live URL without anybody opening a code editor.
How does it look on a phone?
The templates handle tablets and handsets unaided, leaving no responsive setup for you at all. A mobile preview is built in as well, letting you refine the small-screen version before you publish.
Will it carry an online store?
Yes. The selling blocks cover product grids, the basket and a secure checkout, so trading can begin without wiring a second retail platform into the site.
Can I move to WordPress later?
Certainly. WordPress and the rest of the standard application library run on the same hosting plan, so choosing the builder today never shuts you out of a different setup tomorrow.
Where do I start?
Take any web hosting plan, open the builder from your dashboard, pick a template and start arranging blocks. A first version is normally public before the day is out.
Start building from $2.99/mo.
Take the Website Builder plan on its own, or any hosting plan — either way the builder is already in your dashboard.
Launch the BuilderNot every site needs a developer. A clean page with your name, your hours and a contact form beats an empty domain every time, and the builder gets you there quickly. Hosting & Domains runs a single specification for everybody: NVMe storage, LiteSpeed caching, our London datacentre, and no quiet throttling of the cheaper tiers.
Aimed at beginners putting a first site together on their own. Pay for hosting and hosting is what turns up — a certificate, the move, nightly backups and engineers you can actually reach.
Live before the afternoon is out
Drop sections into place, edit the text where it sits, publish. Templates cover the common shapes, including trades, restaurants, portfolios and small shops, and every layout adapts to a phone with no second version to maintain. Outgrow it and WordPress installs on the same account.
Beneath the surface every site runs on the same platform: NVMe drives instead of spinning disks, LiteSpeed instead of a stock web server, and a 99.9% uptime figure written into the terms.
What you pay for the builder
Billing ought to be uneventful: one figure, stated up front, repeated at renewal, with promotions labelled plainly rather than tucked into a footnote. Every hosting plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee, so trying it risks nothing more than an afternoon.
The builder comes with the hosting rather than as a separate subscription. Domain, hosting, certificate and builder together cost less than most standalone builder plans charge on their own.
What comes with the builder
Published pages come off NVMe storage behind LiteSpeed, so a builder site loads like something a developer tuned. A free certificate installs itself, and nightly backups catch your edits along with everything else.
The invisible work — patching, monitoring, replacing hardware, filtering — is included and done by us. It is most of what the money actually buys.
- Mobile-ready layouts in a drag-and-drop editor
- Small-business templates for the common shapes
- Daily backups you restore yourself, in one click
- SSL issued free and auto-renewed

Still Curious
Questions that keep coming up
What if I want WordPress down the line?
Easily, and without changing host. WordPress installs in one click on the same account: build it on a temporary address, then move the domain across when it is ready. The builder site keeps serving until you retire it.
How long until everything is running?
Straight away. Orders provision themselves, and if you would rather we set things up, the help desk is staffed whatever hour you are reading this.
Does the renewal price differ from the joining price?
It renews at the price you joined on. Where a first-term promotion applied, its renewal figure was printed beside it before you ordered, so nothing appears later.
What if website builder hosting turns out not to suit me?
The plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee. Say so inside the month and the refund is processed, with no exit interview and no hand-off to a retention team paid to argue.
