The editor and blocks
Type on the page, swap pictures, add, move and style blocks, preview on a phone, writing help and publishing.
A page is a stack of blocks: a hero at the top, then columns, pictures, reviews, a form and so on. You build a page by adding blocks and changing what is in them, right on the page.
Open the editor
Open Pages, then click a page. The editor shows the page as visitors will see it, with the blocks panel on the side.
Change words and pictures
- Words - click any heading, text or button on the page and type. Select words to make them bold, italic or a link.
- Pictures - click a picture and choose Change. Upload one, pick one from Pictures & files, or open the Free photos tab: hundreds of photos for every kind of business that come with the app, free to use, and they do not count against your storage. Add a short description for each picture: it helps search engines and people who use screen readers.
- Buttons and links - click a button to set its words and where it goes: one of your pages, a part of a page, a phone number, an email address or another website.
Add, move and remove blocks
- Click Add block, or drag a block from the panel onto the page.
- Pick the block and one of its ready-made styles.
- Drag a block by its handle to move it, or use the up and down arrows.
- Use the block's menu to copy it, save it for reuse or delete it.

On the Free plan you can add the everyday blocks: hero, heading, text, picture, picture with text, columns, button, contact details, map, divider, video, gallery, social links, call to action, the form, scrolling words and photo tiles. Every block comes with Standard. Blocks you already have always keep showing.
Video blocks take a YouTube or Vimeo link, or an mp4 file.
Style a block
Each block has Style: background (none, light, dark, your main colour or a picture), how much space around it, width, left or centred, a gentle entrance animation, and Hide on phones or Hide on computers. Colours and fonts come from your theme, so a block always matches the rest of your website.
Phone and computer preview
Use the phone and computer buttons at the top to see the page at each size. Every block is made to fit a phone.
Writing help
Click Writing help on a block for ready-made wording in the tone you choose (for example warm, formal or short). Change it as you like. On Professional and Business you can also connect your own AI account under Settings > Writing help & AI and have it write or rewrite the words.
Save and publish
- Your changes are saved as a draft as you work. Visitors keep seeing the published page.
- Click Publish to put the page live.
- Each publish keeps a version. On Professional and Business, open History to see earlier versions and bring one back.
Custom code
On Professional and Business, the HTML block takes your own code, and Design > Theme & colours takes your own styles and code for the page head. If you move to a smaller plan, custom code stops showing to visitors until you upgrade. It is never deleted.
