How To Manage Features in Website Builder

Website Builder is a platform that allows you to create powerful websites without the need for any technical background, or hiring a developer for that matter. With Website Builder, you are given access to easily customisable templates, a drag-and-drop editor, a mobile editor, and a quick-setup social media integration.

One of the Website Builder tools that will help you create your website is called a Feature. Features on Website Builder are the elements that you can add to the webpage. Each type varies depending on the information you want to add, like pictures, text, and buttons. The following are the things that you can do to the Website Builder Features:

• Add a Website Feature

Managing Website Builder Features

Website Builder gives you the freedom to manage and layout Features by yourself. You can add, customise, resize, move, and delete Features, to build your website the way you want it.

Adding Features
From the Features Library, drag your chosen Feature and drop it onto one of the available placeholders on your page.

Customising Features
To customise a Feature, select it to display the editing menu and replace the selected sample content with the actual content you would like to appear on your site. You can then modify the selected element with the help of the editing menu that appears when you highlight the text.

You can also change the size of the Features on your website. Resizing Features can be done vertically and horizontally.

• To resize a Feature vertically, hover over it with the mouse cursor, click the resizing control that appears at the bottom of the Feature, and drag it upwards or downwards.
• To resize a Feature horizontally, hover over it to display parallel vertical lines to the right and to the left of it, then drag one of these vertical lines left or right.

Moving Features
Customising the location and position of the Features on your website can also be achieved by simply following the steps below:

1. Hover over its upper edge with the mouse cursor to display the moving control.
2. Click the moving control and drag the Feature onto a different placeholder on your page.

To delete a Feature, hover over it and click the [x] Delete Button on its top right-hand corner. The Feature will then be immediately removed.
