Using design tools to build your page

Enable Guides and Grid to take control of the build of your Page and ensure better accuracy and symmetry in your designs.

Take control of your design.

Many modern websites use a grid system to keep content looking organized and appealing.

With Kajabi Pages and the Website Builder, you can organize and design your page with the 12-column system.

Organize your content within a 12-column layout.

With Kajabi Pages and the Website Builder Pages, each page has a width of 12 columns.

The Blocks that make up the content for your page are placed horizontally within that 12-column layout.

As you customize your page, you can set how many columns each block takes to control the layout of your page.

Here are some common website layouts based on the 12-column system:

  • One large column (12)
  • Halves (6 + 6)
  • Thirds (4 + 4 + 4)
  • Fourths (3 + 3 + 3+ 3)
  • Sixths (2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2)
  • One half and two fourths (6 + 3 + 3)
  • One third, one half, and one sixth (4 + 6 + 2)

...and any other combination you can think of, as long as the total column widths always add up to 12.
