Hosting FAQ- Site Builder Features

 Site Builder Templates

Once you have chosen, created, and/or uploaded your site's template(s), or consistent graphical layout, through the Site Templates Manager, you can then assign them to your entire website in a single click. For sites that warrant the use of several different visual themes to separate large sections, templates can be specified on a per-page basis.

Want a different web site design, or colour? You can assign a different template to any page or even the whole site, without interupting the existing content of your web site.

If only I had the site builder when I built my first web site! My web design skills were not very good, & I had to change the site design at least 4 times before I was happy with the design. It was a large site with over 50 pages, & it used to take me well over a week to change all of the pages to the new design. With the site builder you can change the look of your entire web site in a matter of minutes!
