We offer two versions
- SiteBuilder Lite (limited to 20 feature points)
- SiteBuilder Standard (unlimited)
To create a SiteBuilder website you first have to set up an account and order a Web hosting package.
Please note that if you have just ordered your domain or upgraded to a hosting package, you may see an error: ‘Could not log in to your hosting account’ when using SiteBuilder for the first time. This is due to DNS propagation and will resolve within a maximum of 2 hours.
Install your preferred version of SiteBuilder via konsoleH to get started.
- Select or search for the applicable domain name in the Hosting Service tab
- On the left-hand side, select Software > Manage SiteBuilder
- Select Launch to begin creating/ editing your site
The SiteBuilder Wizard will prompt you to select a Category, Business Type, Company Name and Slogan. This information can be changed at any time while you are building your site.
When you access the website editor, you will be prompted to take the SiteBuilder Quick Tour. As a first-time user, you will find this very beneficial. The tour will help you get started and explain how to find all the tools you will need to build your customised website.
Site builder overview:
The application user interface consists of three parts, the Website Area; the Top Menu options and the Left-hand side menu options.
Website Area
In the main part of your screen, you’re able to view your website the way it will look once published. Just click on the text and start typing to edit your website.
Top Menu Options
The top part of your screen gives you access to the tools you need to design your homepage.

Mobile Version
The mobile version allows you to edit your website on mobile devices and obtain additional information e.g. on visitor statistics. This version includes a user feedback function and we encourage you to submit detailed feedback. This will improve future releases of the software.
Drag & drop
The website editor uses the principle of drag & drop. This means that you can add widgets and other content to your page by holding down the left mouse button while pulling an element onto your page from the menu at the top. Moving elements around works in the same intuitive way. Grab an item, move it to its new position, and let go of the left mouse button.
