# Launching The Website Builder

## What is the website builder?

Don't know how to code a website? Not familiar with WordPress? You can always use our integrated website builder, allowing you to drag an drop blocks to make a website. Our website builder is WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get), meaning that everything is previewed in real time.

If you decide to upgrade to premium later, we unfortunately **CANNOT** automatically migrate websites built with the website builder, as it is exclusive to Gilect. It has to be migrated manually.

## Pre-requirements

Using the website builder requires an active hosting service and available subdomain or custom domain. If you do not have an active service, please read here:

{% content-ref url="../hosting/create-a-hosting-service" %}
[create-a-hosting-service](https://support.gilect.com/hosting/create-a-hosting-service)
{% endcontent-ref %}

## Launching the website builder

Select the service which you would like to use the website builder with.

Afterward, select the domain/subdomain which you would like to use the website builder. 

{% hint style="warning" %}
**This will overwrite current files on that domain if you save, please ensure that there are no files already for that domain.**
{% endhint %}
