Edit Text Easily with Hostinger Website Builder
TL;DR:

- Keep font styles consistent across your site for a professional look
Getting text onto your Hostinger site is pretty straightforward once you know where to look. The website builder keeps things simple with a clear text editor that handles all the basics you'll need.
Adding Your First Text Block
Start by opening your Hostinger Website Builder and head to the page you want to work on. Click anywhere you'd like to add text content. You'll see 'Add Text Block' appear in the menu options.
Click it and a new text block drops right where you clicked. Now you can start typing your content straight away.
Formatting Your Text
Once you've got some text in place, you'll want to make it look good. Highlight any text you want to change and the text editor toolbar appears.
From here you can:
Change fonts and sizes – Pick from the available fonts and adjust the size to match your design. Stick to one or two fonts maximum to keep things looking professional.
Adjust colours – Choose colours that work with your site's theme. Dark text on light backgrounds usually works best for readability.
Set alignment – Text can be aligned left, centre, or right within its block. Left-aligned text is easiest to read for longer paragraphs.
Your changes save automatically, so you can see how they look on your live site straight away.
Adding Links Within Text
Linking to other pages or external sites is simple enough. Highlight the text you want to turn into a link, then click the link icon in the toolbar.
You can either paste in a URL for external links or select an existing page from your site. The link gets applied immediately once you save.
Keep your link text descriptive so people know where they're going when they click it.
Getting the Most from Text Blocks
Text blocks in Hostinger are flexible. You can resize them by dragging the corners, move them around your page, and stack multiple blocks together.
If you're working on a longer page, break up your text into smaller blocks rather than one massive chunk. This makes it easier to adjust your layout later and keeps things readable on mobile devices.
The text editor works the same way across all your pages, so once you've got the hang of it on one page, you're sorted for the rest of your site.
FAQs
Can I use custom fonts in Hostinger Website Builder?
The builder includes a selection of web fonts to choose from. You can't upload your own font files, but there's usually something that'll work for most sites.
How do I make text bold or italic?
Highlight your text and use the bold (B) or italic (I) buttons in the toolbar. You can also use keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+B for bold.

Line spacing options are available in the text formatting toolbar. Look for the line spacing icon to adjust how tight or loose your text appears.

Hostinger automatically adjusts text size and layout for mobile viewing. You can preview how it looks using the mobile preview option.
