Introducing SiteGround Site Builder

Introducing SiteGround Site Builder: A Simpler, Faster Way to Build Websites

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 Site 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 Site 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 Site 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 Site 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 Site 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 Site 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 Site 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 Site Builder even better for you.

Hi there, after trying to fit a square peg in a round whole with various wordpress themes, I am keen to try your new web builder. Can you tell me what the impact is on speed compared to other web builders please? I have used Elementor, and although it is lovely to use, it does slow things down considerabley. I would like to hear what your builder compares to and can I just start using it with a new project if I have hosting with you.

Hi Sharon, thank you for your great question! To start a new website using our SiteGround Site Builder, simply go to your Client Area > Websites. If you’re on the StartUp package, keep in mind that it only supports one site, so you’d need to delete your current site to start fresh. However, if you’re on a higher plan (like GrowBig or GoGeek), you can create unlimited websites and add a new one anytime. As for speed, we’re confident you’ll be happy with the performance. Our Site Builder is designed to be simple, user-friendly, and optimized specifically for our hosting platform. While extra addons can sometimes slow things down, the Site Builder avoids that complexity. We’d definitely recommend giving it a try and enjoying the experience!

Is it possible to use Siteground Site Builder on a current site hosted by SiteGround, like in the Staging area for a Wordpress site? I'm wanting to redesign my current site, but it looks like it wants a new domain name.

Good question! To use the SiteGround Site Builder, you need to set up a new separate site from your Client Area > Websites. If your hosting account allows for multiple sites, this won’t be an issue. You can start by choosing a temporary domain name while you work on the site. Later, you can change the domain name to your actual one. Our team can assist you with that process, if needed.

My client (https://seasideattorneys.com) has been a SG customer for a number of years and we are interested in converting their WP site to the new SG Site Builder. They currently have SG StartUp Hosting account. This article states that "The SiteGround Site Builder is available for free in any of our hosting plans." Yet when we attempt to explore the new site builder setup we receive an error message: "There are no available website slots on any of your plans. Please select a plan to upgrade". The plan they are on is very suitable for their online "brochure" site promoting their law offices. Is the upgrade requirement an oversight or will they be expected to upgrade? Thank you very much.

Hello Richard, the SiteGround Site Builder can be used for free when you set up a new site from your Client Area > Websites. For this purpose, your hosting plan should support multiple sites, as the new site will count toward the total number of allowed websites. Unfortunately, the StartUp plan only allows for a single site to be hosted, meaning you cannot create a new one without removing the existing site. To set up a site with the Site Builder, you would need to delete the current site and start fresh. Alternatively, you can temporarily upgrade to the GrowBig plan, which allows multiple sites to be hosted. Once your new site is ready to replace the old one, you can downgrade your plan again. If you need assistance, feel free to reach out to our support team for help.
