Presets and Saved Blocks
Start sections from 21 built-in presets, then build your own reusable section library with Saved Blocks - clone, do not rebuild.
Last updated
You should almost never build a section from a blank canvas. The builder ships 21 ready-made Section Presets, and anything you design yourself can be saved as a reusable block and dropped into any page. Working from a library is faster and, more importantly, it keeps every page of a site consistent. Saved blocks belong to the site you saved them on.
Section Presets#
The element library, opened from the + inside any Column, has a Presets tab with 21 built-in section skeletons:
| Preset | What you get |
|---|---|
| Hero (centered) | Full-width headline, sub-text, and CTA, centered |
| Hero (split) | Headline + CTA left, image right |
| Feature grid (3) | Three-column feature grid |
| Feature grid (4) | Four-column feature grid |
| Services (3 cards) | Three service cards |
| Stats band | A row of headline numbers |
| Testimonials (2) | Two quotes side by side |
| Testimonial (single) | One centered quote |
| CTA band (centered) | Full-width call-to-action band |
| CTA (split) | Text left, button right |
| Pricing (3 tiers) | Three pricing columns |
| Logo cloud | A strip of logos |
| Gallery (3) | Three-column image gallery |
| Team (3) | Three team cards |
| Section intro | Eyebrow + heading + intro text |
| Two-column text | Long copy flowed into two columns |
| Hero (minimal) | Headline and one supporting line, no imagery |
| Process (accordion) | A step-by-step process as an expandable accordion |
| FAQ (accordion) | Common questions in an FAQ element |
| Features (split image + list) | An image beside a stack of feature highlights |
| Testimonials (slideshow) | Customer quotes in a rotating slideshow |
Using a Preset#
- In the Outline, click the + inside any Column to open the element library
- Open the Presets tab
- Pick a tile - the Section is added at the bottom of the page with sensible placeholder copy and layout; drag it into place in the Outline
- Replace the placeholder text and images with real content
Presets are starting points: after insertion they are ordinary Sections, Rows, and elements you can restructure freely.
The library opens as a full-window dialog with three tabs: Elements, Presets, and My Presets. Presets and saved blocks are whole Sections; there are no single-element presets. Whichever you pick is added at the bottom of the page, not at the position you clicked.
Saved blocks belong to the site they were saved on: the My Presets tab lists only the current site's saved blocks.
Saved Blocks (My Presets)#
Saved Blocks are your own library. Any section you have built and styled can be saved and reused on any page of the same site.
Saving a Section#
- Find the Section you want to reuse in the Outline
- Click its Save as reusable block icon (the disk) on the Section's card
- Give it a recognizable name (e.g. "Estimate CTA - dark" beats "Section 3")
Administrators, Editors, and Authors can save blocks; Contributors cannot.
Reusing One#
- In the Outline, click the + inside any Column to open the element library
- Open the My Presets tab
- Pick your block - a copy is added at the bottom of the page; drag it into place in the Outline
The inserted copy is independent: editing it does not change the saved block or other pages that used it.
The Clone Workflow#
The habit that separates fast, consistent site builds from slow, drifting ones:
- Design once. Get a section genuinely right - spacing, brand classes, mobile behavior.
- Save it.
- Clone everywhere. Every similar need starts from the saved block; you swap content, not structure.
- Never rebuild by hand. A hand-rebuilt "almost the same" section is how sites drift into inconsistency.
When you port an existing site into Seedly Sites, the migration pipeline can detect a site's recurring section layouts and add them to the tenant's saved-block library automatically, so the site's own design system is waiting in My Presets when you start editing. See Port a Site.
Presets and Brand Styling#
Presets and saved blocks pair with the brand system: sections built from shared brand classes (see Brand DNA) stay on-brand even when cloned into a page months later, because their styling lives in one global place rather than being baked into each copy.
As with all edits, new or cloned sections appear on the live site after the next manual Deploy.
