SiteBuilder
Welcome to SiteBuilder! This is the set of tools that allow you to design, build and publish all the pages of your site.
SiteBuilder includes...
- BlockBuilder
- the six libraries
- Navigation Options
- Site Designer
You'll be building your pages with these tools, but you won't just be building them. You'll be learning how to publish properly optimized pages, with well-crafted titles, descriptions, headlines, and link text.
These will help to place your pages high up in the Search Engine results. They'll help keep visitors on your pages, and they'll help you "get the click" for whatever your Most Wanted Response is on each page.
SiteBuilder works the same way that Brainstorm It! does, where the top is common, but the bottom switches between Brainstormer and the Master Keyword List (MKL).
The top of the SiteBuilder page is common to all of its tools. Clicking on a button or tab in the upper part changes what happens in the lower part of SiteBuilder.
There are four tabs on the right side of SiteBuilder...
- BlockBuilder, which you use to build your pages.
- Libraries, where images, outbound links, tracker links, reusable content, Form Build It! forms, and Content 2.0 invitations are all stored.
- Navigation Options, where you change the order of your navigation buttons and create nav headers.
- Site Designer, where you choose a style and customize it.
BlockBuilder
BlockBuilder is where you turn your content, images and links into pages.
If you're creating a new page, as soon as you complete your Page Information, you'll land on the BlockBuilder tool.
If you're editing an existing page (you clicked on the Change Page button in the top left of SiteBuilder and selected a file, or you clicked on the file name in Site Central's Page Manager), you'll land directly on BlockBuilder.

Libraries
Click on the Libraries tab in the top right of SiteBuilder to access any of the libraries (click on a library name below for help using that library)...
- Image Library, where all of your images are located.
- Link Library, where all of your outbound links (links to other sites) are located (links to other pages of your site are not kept in the Link Library; however, you have access to them all in the Link Selector tool in the Text Block and the Image Block).
- Tracker Library, where all the tracking links you create are located.
- Reusable Block Library, where you have access to common content that can be placed on multiple pages with just a few clicks per page.
- Form Build It! Library, where all of your FBI! forms are located.
- Content 2.0 Library, where all of your C2 invitations are located.
Note
At this time, there is no direct link back to SiteBuilder from the Form Build It! Library or the Content 2.0 Library. Return to Site Central, then click on a button there to go to the tool you want to use next.
Navigation Options
Click on the Navigation Options tab in the top right to go to the tool to re-order your site's navigation and to create categories using Nav Headers.
Note
At this time, there is no direct link back to SiteBuilder from Navigation Options. Return to Site Central, then click on a button there to go to the tool you want to use next.
