How to change a block's design on your website

Open a block in the website builder and pick a different visual preset via Settings → Model. Your content stays attached to the block; only the layout/style changes.

Overview

Each block in the Amenitiz website builder comes with a few visual presets — different layouts and styles you can swap between to match the look you want, without rebuilding the block from scratch. This article shows how to switch a block to a different preset.

Other block-level customisations live in their own articles: how to add a button to a block, how to add or change the photo of a block, and how to change the text font.


Before you start

  • You need the Can edit the website permission to open the website builder. If the Customize button doesn't appear, ask your Account Owner.

  • Different block types offer different presets. The Model dropdown is per-block — swapping presets on one block doesn't affect any others.

  • Switching to a new preset keeps your existing content (titles, text, images) — only the layout/styling changes.


Step-by-step instructions

  1. Open the website builder: go to WebsiteWebsite in the sidebar and click Customize in the top-right corner. You'll land on the home page — open the Pages tab to switch to another page if needed. See how to use the website builder for the full walkthrough.

  2. Click the block whose design you want to change. The block's settings open in the side panel.

  3. In the side panel, open Settings and find the Model dropdown. Pick the layout you want — the preview updates in real time so you can see how each option looks before committing.

  4. Click Save to publish the change.


FAQs

I switched the Model and my content disappeared — did I lose it?

No. Switching the Model only changes the layout — your titles, text, images and other settings stay attached to the block. If a piece of content isn't visible in the new preset, it's because the preset doesn't include that slot (e.g. a layout without a subtitle field). Switch back to the original preset and the content reappears.


The Model dropdown isn't showing any options on a block — why?

Some blocks ship with a single design and don't offer alternatives. The Model dropdown only appears on blocks that have multiple presets defined. If you need a different look, swap the block for a different type — see how to add a block to your website.


Can I apply the same Model to every block of the same type?

No — the Model is set per block. You'll need to open each block individually and pick the same preset if you want a consistent look across all instances.


Can I create my own custom Model?

Not from the builder. The available Models are the ones designed into Amenitiz; you pick from the list rather than designing a new layout. For deeper style customisation, work with the global Theme typography and the per-block font override — see how to change the text font.
