Learn about the Grid Editor and more
Welcome to Universe, the first-ever website builder designed for your phone! Universe is composed of three main elements or sections that have so much to offer. From building your site to attracting viewers, learn all about it here.
The Grid Editor on iOS
The Grid is used to layout your site, then get it published on the internet. You have the ability to add rows to the grid and even change the dimensions which allow for more content on your site. To begin adding things such as text or images, simply place your finger in a square and then drag. You can make a Block as small or large as you want. After you've set up an area for your content, you're ready to begin adding Blocks to your site.
The Grid Editor on the Web App
To add blocks on the web app, you must first click the "+" icon in to open the block picker. From there, select a block to add it to your site. You can then adjust the size of the block on the grid by clicking a corner, holding and dragging to expand. You can move a block across the grid by clicking anywhere else, holding and dragging to a new location.
Blocks on iOS
Blocks enable you to add content to your site and customize it even further. After you set up an area to lay it out, you're ready to begin adding Blocks.

Dashboard on iOS
When you're not in the Grid, you are on the site dashboard. From the dashboard, you have control of your site's pages, commerce, analytics, and more!
On the Pages tab of the dashboard, you can create pages, move around existing ones, edit metadata, and more!
Site Dashboard on macOS
The macOS site dashboard has the same look and feel as the iOS app. Rather than the tabs being located on the bottom of the app, they are located on the left hand side. You can use these side tabs to navigate to your pages, change app settings, cash out your earnings and more.
Site Dashboard on the Web App
The web app site dashboard is your hub to manage a site from your web browser. From the dashboard, you can edit a page, create a new page, and edit your site's metadata.
