Before you begin rebuilding your website pages with the Website Builder, let's talk about the structure of your page. Pages built with the Website Builder are made up of:
Blocks
and Sections.
Each section of your page is made up of specific blocks.
On ShopBase Creator, we provide you with Sections templates containing specific Blocks to streamline the process of designing your page. However, each section can be customized to your liking. And, regardless of which section you select, you can always remove, add, or edit the blocks within your chosen section to create a page that is unique to your brand and business.
In this article, we will show you the basics on how to launch a web page using Website Builder.

Click on a block and edit its content and properties using the Quick bar setting and the Side bar settings.

You can also save the blocks/sections to your library for later use by clicking on the Add to library button.
When choosing colors for your section/block, keep in mind to use the color preset provided in the
Styling settings, which have been carefully selected to ensure contrast and harmony, to achieve uniformity across the website.
