Getting started

First steps 

 1. Install and enable the Builder plugin. 2. Open Builder in the control panel. 3. Optionally run Create homepage (recommended for new sites). 4. Create your first page template. 5. Open the visual editor and add sections and content. 6. Assign the template to an entry with a Builder Layout field. 

 Homepage setup 

 Builder can wire your site root to a template automatically. 

 What Create homepage does: 

 - Creates a Homepage Single section (`__home__`) if needed - Adds a Builder Layout field - Links the homepage entry to a starter template (or one you choose) - Makes the site root use that Builder layout 

 

 Run it from the prompt 

 After install, a prompt may appear on the Templates screen: 

 - Choose an existing template, or create a new starter template - Click Create homepage - Or click Skip for now 

 Run it later 

 1. Go to Builder → Settings 2. Under Homepage, click Create homepage 3. Confirm Allow Admin Changes is enabled in Craft (required to create the section and field) 

 After homepage is configured 

 From Builder → Settings you can: 

 - Edit the homepage entry - View the site - Re-run homepage setup if you need to reset the wiring 

 Recommended workflow 

 1. Create page templates for full layouts (home, about, landing pages). 2. Create partials for reusable blocks (headers, CTAs, footers). 3. Style each template in the visual editor Theme panel. 4. Attach templates to entries via the Builder Layout field. 5. Publish and check the front end.
