The website builder lets you quickly style, edit, add, and duplicate pages on your website as needed. Use the placeholder text and images we provide in your page layouts to help guide your design. Add or remove sections to achieve the right look for each web page.

You can create new web pages and duplicate existing web pages from the Pages menu. The web pages you create will be linked in your website's navigation bar by default, and you can choose to hide them anytime. You can also add links to other websites, like Facebook or Instagram, to your navigation bar.
