Step 3: Select a Template
SiteJet Builder provides a wide variety of templates across different categories, including:

• Personal Blogs
For this example, we will choose a hotel template from the Travel category. You can browse through the available templates or use the search feature to find one that suits your needs. Once you have selected a template, click Choose to proceed.
Step 4: Customise Your Website
After selecting your template, you will be taken to the SiteJet Builder editor, where you can customise the design and content.

The editing interface is intuitive, allowing you to fully customize your site without needing to write any code.
Step 5: Preview Your Website
Before publishing, it is important to ensure your website displays correctly on all devices. SiteJet Builder allows you to preview your site in desktop, tablet, and mobile views.
Click the Preview button at the top of the editor to view your website across different screen sizes.
Step 6: Publish Your Website
