The New SiteGround Website Builder – build, sell, and grow online

Since we launched SiteGround Website Builder last year, thousands of you have used it to build websites, open online stores, and grow your online presence. We’ve been building right alongside you, working to give you a more powerful design experience, stronger ecommerce capabilities, and the tools you need to do more with your site at every stage.

Today, we’re announcing a major new version of SiteGround Website Builder. It’s a significant step forward for the entire platform, and it comes with new dedicated plans designed around how you actually build and grow online.

More design freedom with new drag-and-drop builder

At the heart of the building experience is a grid-based drag-and-drop editor that gives you full creative control over your layout. Place any element (text, images, buttons, forms) exactly where you want on the page. Drag it, resize it, layer it. Smart alignment guides keep everything polished, but the design is entirely yours.

And the control goes well beyond layout. Choose independent colors for any component. Select different fonts for each heading type and paragraph. Crop images directly on the canvas. Fine-tune borders and corner rounding. You have full control to customize your site.

Start from a professionally designed template, bring in ready-made sections and blocks, or build from scratch. Use the AI assistant to generate copy, pull from the built-in image gallery, and let automatic mobile optimization handle the rest. Whether you spend twenty minutes or two hours customizing, the result is a site that looks like it was built specifically for your brand.

A complete ecommerce platform, built right in

A professional website is a great starting point. But if your goal is to sell online, you shouldn’t need a separate platform to make it happen.

SiteGround Ecommerce lets you run a full online store from the same place you design your site. Go from zero to selling in hours, not weeks. No plugins, no third-party integrations, no separate systems to learn.

Start with a store template designed to showcase and sell your products effectively, then customize it to match your brand. From there, you have everything you need to get selling:

SiteGround Website Builder ecommerce tools – manage products, orders, and customers in one place

Setup your online store

  • Products. Sell physical goods, downloadable products, or services. Add product variations, upload images, and manage your catalog in bulk. The built-in AI assistant helps you generate product titles, descriptions, and categories, so you can populate your store faster.
  • Payments. Accept payments with multiple options right out of the box. Your checkout is optimized for conversion, following ecommerce best practices, and runs at your own domain.
  • Shipping and taxes. Set shipping rules in minutes with easily modifiable shipping zones. Tax calculation is built in and customizable.
  • Order management. Process orders, issue refunds, and manage deliveries from a single dashboard. Track inventory at a glance, including low stock alerts and best-selling products.
  • Customers. View customer information, monitor purchase behavior, and let buyers create accounts to track orders and come back easily.
SiteGround Website Builder marketing tools – SEO, analytics, discounts, and multi-channel product feeds

Grow and convert better 

  • Discounts and promotions. Create targeted offers with full control over discount types, duration, and availability. Launch immediately or schedule for a specific date. Add wishlists so shoppers can save products and return when they’re ready.
  • Product feeds and tracking. Connect your store to social platforms, Google Merchant Center, ChatGPT feeds, and Meta Commerce Manager for multi-channel selling. Track performance across channels with Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel integrations.
  • SEO and analytics. Built-in SEO tools with automatic sitemaps, SEO-friendly URLs, and AI product categorization help your products get found. Real-time analytics for orders, sales, and traffic let you see what’s working and where to focus next.

Everything you need to launch, manage, and grow an online store without stitching tools together.

New plans designed for each phase of your growth

As the SiteGround Website Builder has grown from a simple site creator into a full platform for building, selling, and growing online, we’ve introduced dedicated plans to match. Each plan is tailored to a different stage of your journey.

All plans include premium SiteGround hosting, powerful AI tools, and 24/7 expert support. And you can try any plan free for 14 days with full access to every feature, no credit card required.
