Website Builder

What the builder includes

Before you start

• You need an active X Systems web hosting server.
• The selected server should be used for a static website.
• You need a Pterodactyl Client API key the first time you connect the builder.
• Download a separate copy of important files before replacing an existing website.

Connect the builder

1. 1
   Open Website Builder from the web hosting dashboard.
2. 2
   Open the Pterodactyl panel and create a Client API key from your account settings.
3. 3
   Paste the key into the builder connection screen and save it.
4. 4
   The builder checks the key, stores it securely, and hides it after it is saved.
5. 5
   Select the web server where the website should be created.

Build your first page

1. 1
   Open a block category on the left side.
2. 2
   Click a block to add it to the current page.
3. 3
   Select the added block and change its content and design settings.
4. 4
   Drag blocks into the order you want. You can also duplicate or remove them.
5. 5
   Open Pages to add more pages or change the site-wide design settings.
6. 6
   Use Save to keep a draft, or Publish to update the live website.

What gets published

The builder writes the website into the server's /public folder. The home page becomes /public/index.html. Other pages are created as folders, such as /public/about/index.html, so the live URL can use /about.

Shared builder styles and assets are stored in /public/xsystems-builder. A successful publish also restarts the selected web server so the new files are loaded.
