What are blocks, and how to add blocks to your site

Blocks are your site’s elements designed to help you customize the pages. Sitebuilder+ offers more than 20 various block types, such as Text, Images, Video, Headline, Products, Contacts, and more. View the full block type list.

Blocks come predesigned to match the look and feel of your template. This helps preserve your website’s clean and professional layout on any device.

Tip: Think of your site structure as the one that is divided horizontally – blocks go one on top of another, but not side to side.

Premium vs. regular blocks

Regular blocks are the foundation of your website design. Crafted by our team of professional designers, these blocks offer a wide range of layouts and styles to suit your needs. Regular blocks are available to all users completely free of charge.

For users seeking more advanced design options, we offer premium blocks. Exclusive to Silver and Gold plan users, premium blocks feature sophisticated layouts such as accordions, full-width designs, and unique decorations. Read more about premium blocks in our dedicated article.

Adding a new block to your template

You can insert blocks between existing blocks, on top of them, or below them to create a page structure that fits your website strategy. Here’s how you do this:

  1. Highlight any existing block on your page. You will see two (+) Plus buttons – on its top and bottom.
