Choosing and customising a Sitejet template

Sitejet ships with 140+ professional templates organised by industry. Picking the right one is the most important decision you will make in the builder - all the customisation that follows is easier when the template structure already matches your business.

How to pick the right template

1. Filter by industry first. Templates are tagged Restaurant, Real Estate, Agency, Personal, E-commerce, Health, Construction, etc. Stick to your industry tag - the template will already include the right page structure (e.g. menu page for restaurants, listings page for real estate).
2. Look at the page count. A 5-page template is right for most small businesses (Home, About, Services, Portfolio/Gallery, Contact). 10+ page templates are designed for richer content and have more sections to fill.
3. Preview on mobile. Click the phone icon at the top of the preview - if the mobile layout looks cluttered, pick a different template.
4. Match your brand colour. Most templates can be re-themed in 30 seconds, but a template that already uses cobalt blue feels at home if your brand is cobalt blue.

The five things to customise immediately

1. Logo - upload yours via the header. PNG with transparent background looks best.
2. Brand colours - Site Settings → Colours. Set the primary, accent and background colours; the whole template re-themes.
3. Hero section - the big banner at the top of the home page. Replace the placeholder photo with one of your business and rewrite the headline to a clear value proposition (one sentence, what you do, who you do it for).
4. Services / About text - replace ALL placeholder lorem-ipsum copy. Even a short sentence in your own voice beats sample text.
5. Contact details - phone, e-mail, address (if relevant), Google Map embed, social links. These appear in the footer of every page.

Save before you publish

Sitejet auto-saves drafts as you work. Use Preview to check the live look without publishing. Publish pushes the current draft to your real domain - visitors see it immediately. You can roll back to any earlier version from the History panel if you regret a change.
