Your website is where your business starts. But turning it into a tool for growth means helping visitors take action and giving them a reason to stay connected.

The latest Website Builder release brings updates that help you do both. With new styling controls and a seamless integration with SiteGround Email Marketing, it’s easier to guide attention and build lasting relationships right from your site.

So, here’s what’s new.

New Text Styling Options To Make Key Messages Stand Out

Not every part of your website content carries the same weight. Some words highlight a feature, others call attention to a price or a key message. Now, you have the tools to make those key parts pop.

Click on any word or sentence and from the floating toolbar, change fonts for a single word, shift capitalization, or add color to key phrases, all while keeping your focus on the section you’re editing. This precise control helps you emphasize what matters most without disrupting your editing flow.

Because when the right words stand out, people understand faster and are more likely to take action.

New Button Controls to Drive More Clicks

Beyond styling your words, you need buttons that drive action. They’re one of your website’s most important elements since they turn visitors into customers and readers into subscribers.

Until now, your buttons followed your global site styles, sharing the same colors as your text. Now, you can style buttons independently, giving them their own colors and alignment right where you edit.

Just click on a button, open the contextual toolbar, and adjust its color and position without leaving your canvas.

This makes your most important actions stand out on the page helping visitors know exactly where to click and driving more results for your business.

Unified Color Picker To Keep Design Consistent

Now that you can style buttons, text, and sections individually, we’ve made the color picker work the same everywhere. Your global palette and recently used colors are always on hand, making it easy to highlight what matters to your business.

You get more creative freedom to draw attention where it counts without losing the consistency that makes your website feel professional.

SiteGround Email Marketing Integration That Helps You Turn Visitors Into Subscribers

Your website might still be a work in progress, but sooner or later, someone’s going to land on it. A curious visitor or a future customer. When that happens, will you be ready to keep the conversation going?

With our new SiteGround Email Marketing integration, you don’t need to figure it all out today. Just add a signup form to your site, and we’ll take care of the rest. We’ll collect subscribers, save them to your list, and help you send your first email with ready-made templates and built-in AI writing assistant.

It’s the easiest, most cost-effective way to start email marketing and grow your business directly from your website. The SiteGround Email Marketing is available as a paid plan and fully integrated into your SiteGround account, making setup seamless.

Simple Changes That Make A Big Difference

All of these updates follow the same idea: making your Website Builder more powerful without making it more complicated. Whether you’re customizing your first page or refining a bigger website, you’ll find it easier to build, edit, and connect with your audience.

Stay tuned for even more helpful improvements coming your way!

Since launching the SiteGround Website Builder, we’ve been excited to see so many of you bringing your websites to life. We’ve also been listening closely to your feedback and making continuous improvements to support you even better. With that in mind, we’ve introduced a set of new updates to help you build faster, edit more easily, and enjoy the process even more.

From more intuitive editing tools to a cleaner, more organized workspace, here’s everything we’ve rolled out lately.

New Contextual Editing

We’ve made text editing faster and more intuitive. The formatting toolbar is no longer fixed at the top, it now floats and appears exactly where you’re working. Click on a text block or a button, and the toolbar shows up right above it. No more jumping your focus across the screen just to bold a line or add a link.

It follows your scroll and adjusts to your screen, staying right there while you work. This change keeps editing feeling natural and helps you stay focused, especially when making lots of small changes in one go.

A New Shortcut Тo The File Gallery

By popular demand, the File Gallery is now accessible directly from the left menu in the builder. We’ve also added a simple file type filter, so you can quickly sort through images, videos, documents, or ZIP archives. Together, these updates make it faster to upload and organize your images and files even before you begin editing your pages.

Whether you’re planning out a full gallery or just want your brand visuals on hand, having direct access allows you to set up your media library in advance and streamline the content creation process once you’re ready to build.

Quickly Switch Pages With The New Page Selector

Switching between pages while editing just became incredibly easy. You can now jump to any published or draft page using the new page dropdown selector in the top bar of the builder, no need to return to the content tab.

This makes a big difference when you’re reviewing changes across your site. For example, if you update your color palette or font styles, you can quickly click through all your pages to make sure everything looks just right without breaking your editing flow.

Easier Access And More Control For Your Coming Soon Page

We’ve updated the Coming Soon functionality to give you faster access and more ways to make that page work for you. 

You can now add SEO and social sharing options to the Coming Soon page settings. That means your placeholder page can now be found in search results and look great when shared on social media — perfect for building anticipation and encouraging early engagement before the big launch.

Plus, we’ve added quick access for you to enable or disable your Coming Soon page from the new shortcut in the top bar, right under the globe icon. This gives you faster access and greater control while you’re still working on your site.

A Restructured Layout To Support What’s Next

To make the builder even easier to navigate we’ve updated the layout with a cleaner, more spacious design.

The left and top bars have been refined to help you move more smoothly between your content, navigation, style settings, and file management. Everything you already use is still right where you expect it, but now with more clarity and breathing room. These changes not only improve your current editing experience, they also lay the foundation for powerful new features we’ll be adding soon.

Continuously Improving To Help You Do More

All of these updates share one goal: making the SiteGround Website Builder more powerful without adding complexity. Whether you’re building your first site or fine-tuning a growing one, we want you to move faster, stay organized, and feel in control every step of the way.

And this is just the beginning, we’ve got even more exciting improvements on the way. Stay tuned!

For two decades, we’ve been privileged to be part of your online journey, providing fast, secure, best-in-class hosting for millions of websites built with your own code or using popular CMS like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal and more. Through countless conversations with clients like you, we’ve learned about your challenges, celebrated your success, and understood your aspirations to create and manage your online presence.

Today, we’re excited to introduce something special – our very own SiteGround Website Builder, now included in all of our hosting plans. For us, this isn’t just a new project launch. It’s our response to all of those conversations we’ve had over the years, and our commitment to make your online presence an absolute success.

Why Launch A Website Builder

Every day, we witness the passion you bring to your businesses and projects. But we’ve also seen how technical complexities can stand in the way of your vision. We’ve heard from small business owners spending precious weekends configuring third-party themes for their CMS website, freelancers juggling multiple tools for different clients, and entrepreneurs delaying their dreams because website creation seemed too daunting.

Your stories inspired us to create something different. Something that would maintain the professional quality you deserve while removing the technical barriers that slow you down.

The Problems We’re Solving Together

We believe in products that solve real problems of real people, so we’ve focused on addressing the key challenges you’ve shared with us:

Complexity

Remember the last time you stared at a file manager or content management dashboard wondering where to start? Or spent hours trying to make a theme look like its demo? We believe creating a website should be intuitive and enjoyable. With our Website Builder, you’ll find familiar tools that work exactly as you’d expect – if you can use a doc file, you can build a beautiful website.

Time

We know you can’t afford to spend weeks learning new tools or fighting with technology. What used to be a multi-day project can now be accomplished in a single afternoon. Choose a template, customize it with your content, and launch your site – all before your coffee gets cold. Because your time is better spent growing your business, not building a website.

Technical Barriers

“But I’m not technical enough” – we’ve heard this too many times from talented entrepreneurs whose websites don’t reflect their expertise. SiteGround Website Builder handles all the complex details behind the scenes: mobile responsiveness, built-in SEO, performance optimization, and security considerations. You focus on your message and design, while we ensure everything works flawlessly behind the scenes.

Cost

Building a professional website traditionally means choosing between two costly options: hire a web developer to build and manage your site, or invest countless hours learning complex tools yourself. This should not be the case. Our Website Builder is available for free in every hosting plan, giving you the power to create professional websites without the professional price tag. If you have an unused site slot in any of your hosting packages, you can try it out right away.

Built For You, Growing For Everyone

The first version of the SiteGround Website Builder is built for our core users – business owners who want to create a simple, yet professional website without complexity. We have tons of features and functionalities in the pipeline to add to this experience and also cater to the needs of agencies, freelancers and professionals creating and managing websites for others. Every new item in our roadmap serves one goal – to help you create and manage a polished web presence that reflects your professionalism, while focusing on what matters most – running your business and serving your clients.

Everything You Need To Succeed

Our Website Builder comes packed with the essential tools that you’ve been asking for. Start with our professionally designed templates and customize them using our ultra-easy builder with premade sections. Access a free image gallery for stunning visuals, get help from our integrated AI content writer, and optimize your site with built-in SEO and analytics tools. Make it truly yours with extensive fonts and colors customization options – all without touching a line of code.

Just The Beginning

Today marks an exciting new chapter in our journey together. While we’re proud of what we’ve built, we know that this is just the beginning. We believe that the best products are built through collaboration with the people who use them every day. That’s why we’re starting with a simple, yet solid foundation, while keeping the flexibility to grow and evolve based on your feedback. Every new feature we add will be driven by your real experience and suggestions to make the SiteGround Website Builder even better for you.
