What this feature does and when to use it
Recruit Craft allows you to create and customize a website from scratch without any coding. You can start a new project using either a blank canvas or a pre-built template, then personalize it by editing pages, updating text and styling, adding sections and elements, and creating additional pages beyond the default homepage, job listing, and job description pages.
Use this feature when:
You want to build a new website using Recruit Craft.
You want to launch a website quickly by customizing an existing template.
You need full control over your website's content, layout, styling, and navigation.
You want to create additional pages to expand your website beyond the default pages
Step-by-step instructions
1. Create a new website project
Log in to Recruit Craft and navigate to the Projects page. Click + Project in the top right corner, select Build Full Website, then choose one of the following:
Blank Project to build your website from scratch.
Template to start with a pre-designed website that you can customize.
If you're using a template, click View to preview it, then select Edit Template to begin customizing it.
2. Edit your website pages
Use the page navigation within the editor to switch between the Homepage, Job Listing, Job Description, About Us, or any other page you want to customize.
Every part of a page is editable. Simply click the element you want to modify, such as text, an image, a button, or another component. Once selected, the relevant configuration options will appear in the panel on the right.
From the right-hand panel, you can customize the selected element based on its type. For example, when editing a text element, you can modify options such as:
Font and font weight
Text size and alignment
Colors and styling
Letter and line spacing
Width and height
Links and button redirects
Other elements, such as images, buttons, sections, or forms, display their own configuration options, allowing you to customize their appearance and behavior.
Review the page after making your changes to ensure the content, layout, and styling appear as expected.
3. Add elements to a page
To add new content to a page, open Elements from the left-hand panel and select the component you want to insert. Recruit Recruit Craft offers a variety of elements, including:
Text (H1 to H6 headings and paragraph text)
Buttons
Images
Forms
Videos
Lines and dividers
Social icons
Custom HTML for embedding custom code or iframes
After adding an element, click it to customize its appearance and behavior using the right-hand panel. Depending on the element type, you can configure options such as:
Size, style, and alignment
Colors and backgrounds
Width, height, padding, and spacing
Button styles
Links and redirect URLs
Image styling
Layout settings
Other advanced properties specific to the selected element
Form layouts and field configuration
Video playback settings
Other advanced properties specific to the selected element
Note: The available customization options vary depending on the selected element. For example, forms allow you to configure fields, layouts, and submission behavior, while videos provide playback and display settings.
4. Add sections to a page
To quickly build your page layout, open Sections from the left-hand panel and drag the section you want onto your page. Recruit Craft includes several pre-built sections, including layouts with ready-to-use form components, such as:
Flexbox
Grid
Spacer
Header
Footer
Hero
Testimonials
FAQs
About Us
Banner
Block Quote
Custom HTML
Form
These ready-to-use sections include predefined layouts, making it easy to build pages without creating every section from scratch.
Once a section has been added, you can:
Reorder it anywhere on the page
Edit the section's layout and design
Modify individual elements within the section
Change text, colors, spacing, backgrounds, images, and links
Add your own elements to Grid or Flexbox sections
If you prefer to create a completely custom layout, start with a Grid or Flexbox section and build it by adding elements manually.
5. Customize the default pages
Repeat the same editing process for the Job Listing and Job Description pages by updating their content, layout, elements, and sections. Review each page to ensure the design and navigation remain consistent across your website, and save your changes regularly.
6. Add additional pages
To create pages beyond the default ones, open Pages from the left-hand panel and click Add New Page. Enter a name for the page, then customize its content, layout, and design using the same editing tools available throughout the website editor.
