Website Builder

Website Builder is an all-in-one design package that allows you to create and manage your site without the need for technical knowledge. Take everything step-by–step, choose a template, customise the photos, colours and information, and then publish it to your domain name.

Website Builder makes it easy to build your own website from scratch for a variety of businesses, whether that might be for photography, real estate, weddings or to just showcase your work. Automatically produce a site that will work on every device – be it a desktop, tablet, or mobile phone, along with the ability to easily customise and add fresh and unique information and features, including ecommerce, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and more.

No, because Website Builder comes with hosting included, along with everything else you need to publish your site, including a free domain name, SSL Certificate and email address. You simply log in and start creating your site in minutes.

Our packages have been designed to enable anyone to easily set up their own website, whatever their technical skill level.

With our beginner-friendly interface, you can insert and customise your own text, images and videos without any coding, allowing you to create a website that looks exactly how you want it to.

Absolutely. This all-in-one tool is the perfect resource for anyone that needs a quick and easy way of taking their small business online, with none of the technical kerfuffle.

This should only take you a few minutes, but, depending on how detailed you want your website to be, it can take longer.

Our tools simplify the whole process by allowing you to choose from a range of stunning, pre-populated templates. From there, you can easily customise its look and feel by changing its existing content or adding new sections in just a few clicks.

If you need help, please visit our Support Site. We have plenty of information there and it’s likely that we’ve already answered your question.

Alternatively, we offer telephone support so you can speak to us and get the help you need at a convenient time for you.

Yes, you can but without a domain, people will not be able to find you online. Every Website Builder package comes with a free domain name, but you can also purchase and use another one if you wish to.

Your domain name can be anything you want, as long as it has one of the following extensions:

.co.uk

.org.uk

.me.uk

.com

.uk

It will be free for the first year of registration, but then you will need to renew it with the standard registration fee after that first year. If you cancel your Website Builder package, you will also need to remember to let the domain name expire, or you will be charged for it even if it isn’t pointing to a site.

If you have a domain name registered with 123 Reg and you’re not using it with any of our other services, you can assign it to your Website Builder package. For details on how to do this, please read the following article: How do I point my domain name to my Website Builder package?

If you’re planning on transferring in a domain name, then make certain the transfer is complete before you purchase your package.

Using a responsive design is the most important aspect of establishing a mobile-friendly website, as it will ensure that your site will automatically adapt to your visitor’s device type.

Fortunately, all our Website Builder templates offer responsive designs, so you can get started straight away. Our tools allow you to preview your website on mobile devices, so that you can easily optimise and enhance your website.

All our Website Builder plans come with a free SSL Certificate included, which will display a padlock icon next to your web address.

Without one, search engines like Google will warn visitors that your website isn't secure so having this in place is critical to reassuring visitors that you offer a reliable, trustworthy service.

To find out how to install your free certificate, please read the following article: How do I install my free SSL Certificate?

The minimum contract period for our Website Builder plans is 1 month.

If you're using Personal, Business or Business Plus and want to take advantage of the extra features available if you upgrade, just log into your 123 Reg Control Panel and choose the Upgrade option. We'll calculate the new cost of your package, and adjust the cost accordingly. You do not need to change anything on your website.
