Can I Build a Website Without a Template?
If you'd like full creative control over how your website looks and feels, you can absolutely build one from scratch in FEA Create. You don’t need to use a pre-made template unless you want to. Instead, you can design each page section by section, so it looks and functions exactly how you want it to.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to start with a blank website and build out your own custom pages.
Step 1: Create Your Website
Go to Websites & Funnels and click on Websites. Then click the New Website button.
Choose Create from Blank, give your website a name and click Create Website.
Step 2: Add Your First Page
On the right-hand side, click Add Page.
Give your page a name, such as "Home"
Set your path, for example:
mywebsite.com/homeChoose Create from Blank again if you want to build the page yourself from scratch
Step 3: Start Building Your Page
Now you'll start adding the structure of your page.
Click Add Section and choose the width you want (full, wide, medium or small)
Then click Add Row and choose how many columns you want (1 column is great for a header or navigation)
Drag in Elements such as a text box, image or button
To add a navigation menu:
Find the Navigation Menu block and drag it into your section
You can then add your logo, business name and links
Once you've added the element, you can customise it by clicking on it. On the right-hand side, you'll see options to change things like the navigation style, logo image, colours and layout.
At the top of the page, you can also:
Change your fonts
Choose a background colour or image
You can also add common sections like a footer using the same method. Once you've created your footer, you can save it as a Universal Section so you can reuse it easily on other pages.
Once your first page is finished, you can use it as a base for your other pages. Just select Use Existing when creating a new page and choose your first page. This saves time and helps keep your design consistent.
Step 4: Add Your Legal Pages
It’s important to include pages like a Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions. You can create these just like any other page by clicking Add Page, giving it a name and adding your content.
You might also want to add a Contact Page so people can get in touch with you.
You don’t need to use a template if you’d rather build something completely unique. FEA Create gives you the tools to start from scratch and design your website just the way you want it, one section at a time.
