Loopia Sitebuilder is the tool where you build your website by combining ready-made blocks of text, images and forms – without writing a line of code. You install Sitebuilder from the Customer Zone, choose a website template, and then fill it with your own content.
If you’re used to an earlier version of Sitebuilder, it’s worth reading through this guide to see how things work in Loopia Sitebuilder.
What you need
- A login to your Customer Zone.
- A domain name or subdomain to build your website on.
- Text, images and contact details for your site – you can replace the template content as you go.
- If you want to try it out first, you can start with a free demo instead of installing straight away.
Getting started
- Log in to your Customer Zone.
- Choose Start a website, blog or online store.
- Choose Build a website with Loopia Sitebuilder.
- From the dropdown menus, choose which domain and package the site should use, then click Apply.
- Click Choose a design and start building your website.
- Choose a website template in the setup wizard and fill in some basic information about your site. All template content can be changed later. Templates are sorted into categories by industry, so it’s easy to find one that suits your business.
Good to know while you build
- Your website is built from blocks – ready-made sections for things like the header, text, images, contact details and forms. You add, move and remove blocks as needed.
- Thanks to the block structure, every site you build is automatically mobile-optimised and adapts to smaller screens such as phones and tablets.
- Your content automatically inherits the style of your chosen template, keeping the site looking consistent.
- You see the result directly as you edit, so a separate preview isn’t strictly necessary.
- Save and Publish are two different things. You save so you don’t lose your work, and publish when the changes should become visible to visitors.
- Sitebuilder also saves automatically every two minutes – the status in the top bar switches from Save to Saved.
