Sitejet Builder is a professional no-code website builder that lets you create a fully responsive, SEO-ready website without writing a line of code. It is part of the WebPros family (the same group behind Plesk) and is integrated directly into your Plesk hosting control panel — no separate software to install, no plugins to maintain, no steep learning curve.
For a UK sole trader launching a first business website, a services company needing an online presence, or a freelancer building a portfolio, Sitejet gives you the tools to produce a polished site in hours rather than weeks. You get a visual drag-and-drop editor, 170+ professional templates, 120+ pre-built sections (presets), built-in SEO fields, AI content generation, and automatic responsive design for desktop, tablet and mobile.
Best of all, Sitejet Builder is included free with smartxhosting.uk Sitejet Builder hosting — there is no separate builder subscription on top of your hosting bill.

You never need to leave the browser. Everything autosaves every 5–10 minutes.

Three practical tips for UK owners:
Within the first 30 minutes, do these five things:
If you would rather have someone build the site for you, smartxhosting.uk offers a Website Build Service — a professional designer creates your site on Sitejet Builder and hands it over to you fully owned, so you can self-manage afterwards. Pricing starts from £299 for a five-page brochure site including content drafting, logo refresh and launch. Order via smartxhosting.uk/sitejet-builder.
Q: Can I change my template after I start building?
A: You can switch template inside Sitejet Builder but it resets content placement. Most owners choose one template and customise it; full template swaps mid-project are rare.
Q: Do I need coding skills to use Sitejet Builder?
A: No. If you can write an e-mail and post on social media you have the skills. The drag-and-drop editor and AI content assistant handle the blank-page problem. Full code access (HTML/CSS/JS) is available if you want it but entirely optional.
Q: How long does it take to build a site?
A: For a first-time user with content ready, 4–8 hours for a five-page brochure site. Set aside a weekend for comfortable pace. Experienced users ship in an evening.
Q: Is Sitejet Builder really free on smartxhosting.uk?
A: Yes. The builder is included at no additional cost in the £5/month hosting plan. No separate subscription, no premium tier for features, no surprise upsells.
Q: What if I want to leave later?
A: Export the entire site as a ZIP file at any time — no lock-in. Unusual for a bundled-hosting builder.
Q: Where do I get support?
A: Via the smartxhosting.uk client area, UK business-hours support with VAT-compliant invoices. E-mail and live-chat channels available.
