Add and arrange blocks

Updated September 2026

Pages are built from sections (full-width horizontal bands) that hold components (the individual blocks: text, images, buttons and so on). Components sit on a grid, so everything you place stays aligned.

Add a section

  1. In edit mode, click Add Section below the last section on the canvas, or use the + button next to Sections in the sidebar.
  2. In the Add New Section modal, pick a type:
    • Blank Section: start from scratch.
    • Blog Index: a searchable, filterable list of your blog posts.
    • Client Index: a searchable, filterable list of your Studio clients.
  3. Click Create Section.

The sidebar's Sections list mirrors the canvas. Hover between rows to reveal insert lines for adding a section at an exact spot, drag rows to reorder, double-click a name to rename it, and use each row's Duplicate, Edit and Delete tools.

Add a component

  1. Click a section to select it, then click Add Component in its toolbar.
  2. Pick a block from the panel: Text, Social, Button, Media, Button Group, Gallery, Form, Shape or Map.
  3. The component lands in the section, ready to position.

The Free plan includes up to 10 components across your site.

Move and resize

  • Drag a component to move it. Center guidelines appear during the drag and light up when the block is centered. Hold Shift mid-drag to lock movement to one axis, or hold Alt before dragging to drag out a duplicate.
  • Resize with the corner and side handles. Hold Shift on a corner to keep the aspect ratio, or double-click a handle to shrink the block to its content.
  • Select a section to reveal its own toolbar: Duplicate, Delete, Linking (anchor and scroll-to), Section & Grid (columns, gaps, height, alignment), Color, Move Up and Move Down.
  • Select two or more components (Shift+click or drag a selection box) to move or resize them as a group, or group them permanently with the group button.

Each section's Layers list in the sidebar shows every component in stacking order, which is the easiest way to find a block that's hidden behind another.

Design the mobile layout

Use the Mobile View toggle above the canvas to switch the editor into a phone frame. Moving or resizing a component there saves a separate mobile position and leaves your desktop layout alone. Every component and section also has a Visibility setting, so a block can appear on desktop only, mobile only, or both. Anything hidden in the current view stays reachable from the Layers list.
