# Website Builder Plans ( Basic vs Plus )

# Website Builder Plans ( Basic vs Plus )


With your Direct Booking Website Builder, you can now select between two website builder plans: **Basic and Plus.** 
This guide explains the difference so you know what you can customize and when you might want to upgrade.

| 📘 On the Basic and Plus plans, several sections of the site editor are locked by default. This is expected behaviour.


# Basic plan (free)

The default **Basic** plan comes **free** with your Website Builder and includes:
* A default website template
* Limited customization: the hero background image, search page heading, search page subheading, and basic text styling

For step-by-step instructions on what you can edit, see: [**Editing Design and Content**](https://support.uplisting.io/en/article/editing-design-and-content-p5l26o/)


# Plus plan ($39/month flat fee)

**Plus** is an optional paid upgrade that unlocks the power of the Website Builder. It's a flat monthly fee for your whole account, no matter how many properties you manage.

| 📘 **Plus** is free with the Manager Uplisting subscription plan. On all other plans, it's a paid add-on. Current pricing for your account is shown on the [Uplisting pricing page](uplisting.io/pricing)


The website builder Plus includes everything in the  Basic plan, plus:
* Request to Book as a third booking type — [see Using Request to Book (Plus Plan)](https://support.uplisting.io/en/article/using-request-to-book-website-builder-plus-plan-1pzm5ad/)

## Why are some sections locked even on Plus? 

Even on Plus, a small number of pages, including the Property page,  stay locked and can't be edited. 
This is intentional, not a bug: these pages pull data directly from Uplisting (amenities, location, and other property details), and editing them manually could break how that data displays. 

||| Please note, upgrading  from Basic to Plus plan does not unlock these pages; they're locked by design on both plans.
