Design Elements To develop your website, you will use three sections of the dashboard. These include "Themes" where you will find your template and basic design; "Pages" where you will set up the different pages for your site; and "Build" where you organize and design the elements that you want to put on your pages. There are many themes. Be careful to consider how you might want to layout your site, before picking a theme. When switching themes, one loses content. These elements to the right are found in the "Build" section of the dashboard.
