The design concept
Every marketer or no-code builder when using builder.io always has a fundamental design concept that dictates how creations are structured, saved, and displayed. Let's dive into the core building blocks of builder.io:
- Page: The foundation of your Builder.io experience. A Page represents a web page or a section within a larger website. It acts as the canvas where you can drag-and-drop various elements to design your layout. When rendered on a browser, a Page translates to an HTML document with specific sections and styles.
- Section: Provides a way to modularize your Page design. Sections allow you to group related elements and create a more organized structure. You can define unique styles and layouts for each Section, offering greater design flexibility. In the rendered HTML, Sections become nested elements within the Page's overall structure.
- Component: The building blocks that populate your Sections and Pages. Builder.io offers a vast library of pre-built components, we can some built-in components including text boxes, buttons, images, forms, videos, and more on the left setting page
If you don’t like using some built-in components above, you can easily custom them. each component comes with customizable properties that allow you to tailor its appearance and functionality to your needs. When rendered, components translate to HTML elements with specific styles and functionalities based on your configuration.

- Global Styles: Builder.io empowers you to establish a consistent look and feel across your entire website. Global Styles encompass typography choices, color palettes, and other design elements that can be applied to all Pages and Components within your Builder.io project. This ensures design consistency and reduces the need for repetitive styling.
While editing a specific Page, you can also access Global Styles within the Style tab. Look for the "Global Styles" section on the right side of the Style tab panel.
