Presets are Sitejet’s shortcut for building pages at speed. Instead of arranging elements one at a time you drop in a complete section — a hero banner, a three-column feature grid, a pricing table, a contact form — already styled, responsive and ready for your content. This guide explains what presets are, the 12+ categories, how to add and swap them, and how to use preset variants for per-device customisation on UK SME sites.

A preset is a pre-built page section composed of multiple elements, designed by Sitejet’s team and ready to drop onto your page. Think of it like a LEGO brick made of smaller bricks: instead of placing individual heading, paragraph, image and button elements, you place one preset that contains all of them in a polished arrangement.
Sitejet ships 120+ presets across every category of page section a UK SME needs. All are free, all are responsive, all are fully editable after you drop them in.
Time from adding a preset to having it fully customised with your content: 5–15 minutes per section, depending on complexity.
If you want to replace a section with a different preset while keeping your content, use Swap. Right-click the section → Swap preset. Sitejet shows compatible presets; pick one. Your content automatically re-flows into the new layout where possible.
Useful if you started with a feature grid and want to switch to a timeline layout, or if you added a hero banner and want a more visual one.
Many presets have variants (e.g. Hero banner A with text left, Hero banner B with text right, Hero banner C centred). Use variants to create visual rhythm across a long page without every section looking identical.
Per-device customisation lets you tweak a preset differently on desktop vs mobile. Select the preset, toggle to mobile view, adjust. Desktop and mobile overrides are maintained separately.
Presets are made of elements. Use the right tool for the job:
Beginners tend to under-use presets and over-use elements, which slows the build. Experienced Sitejet users reach for presets first and fall back to elements for fine-tuning.
Q: How many presets does Sitejet include?
A: 120+ across 12+ categories, all free with any Sitejet Builder hosting plan.
Q: Can I create my own preset?
A: Yes — build a section from elements, right-click → Save as preset. Reuse across projects. Particularly useful for UK agencies maintaining consistent branding across client builds.
Q: Do presets work on mobile?
A: Yes, all presets are fully responsive. Use device preview to check each breakpoint; override per device if needed.
Q: Can I edit every element inside a preset?
A: Yes. Once dropped, a preset becomes a regular group of elements on your page. Every element is editable.
Q: Are presets SEO-optimised?
A: Presets use semantic HTML (proper headings, alt text placeholders, accessible markup). As long as you fill in real content and add SEO fields per page, you get SEO benefits for free.
Q: Can I delete an entire preset?
A: Yes — select the section wrapper, press Delete. Confirm. The preset and all its elements are removed.
