No. Website Builder is a fully cloud-based editor, which means you do not need to download or install any software on your computer before using it.
Website Builder runs directly inside your web browser. There is no application to install, no setup files to run, and no manual updates required. As long as you have internet access, you can log in and begin building your website immediately.
What you need instead
To use Website Builder successfully, you will need:
- A modern web browser
- A stable internet connection
- Access to your hosting client area
Because the editor is browser-based, performance depends on your device and browser. Before logging in, review the supported browsers and system requirements to ensure the editor works properly.
Important device limitation
While your published website can be viewed on mobile phones and tablets, full website editing is supported on desktop or laptop browsers only. Editing from mobile devices may not provide complete functionality and is not recommended. It is also important to understand whether editing is supported on mobile devices before attempting to make changes on a phone or tablet.
Next step
Once you are ready to begin, follow the steps for how to access Website Builder from your client area and start building your website.
