Last update: Mar 23, 2026 1 min read

We currently have two builder versions: one for sites created before March 4th and another for sites created after this date. Sites still using the older builder will be automatically migrated to the newer version soon. If your site hasn’t been migrated yet, please refer to the Classic Builder section below.

To change the style of text on a page:

  1. Go to Site Admin > Edit Website
    SiteGround Website Builder dashboard displaying live site preview and highlighted Edit Website button for customization.

  2. Open the Pages tab and go to the page you wish to edit.

  3. Highlight the text you want to style. A horizontal menu with different formatting and styling options will appear.

Use any of the four buttons to style text:

  • Bold – Makes text thicker to emphasize important words or phrases.
  • Italics – Slants text slightly to indicate titles, quotes, or subtle emphasis.
  • Underline – Draws a line beneath the text to highlight key terms or links.
  • Strikethrough – Shows deleted or outdated text without removing it completely.
