AI website builder
Build and refine your job board through conversation, review changes in a preview, and publish when you are ready.
A
JThe AI website builder creates and edits your board's frontend from your instructions. You can change any page visitors see, and add new pages, by describing them. Describe the audience, design, and experience you want, then refine the result in a chat with a preview beside it. You can also select an element to focus a change, adjust the theme, and return to an earlier version.
Your draft and your published site are separate. Building a change updates your draft. Publishing makes a checked version available to visitors. A preview or share link is not a published release.

What belongs in the builder
Use the builder for the experience people see: page layouts, branding, copy, navigation, and how your job board presents its content. That includes any existing page and new pages you add. For example, ask for a career center that matches your association's brand, with job search first and a clear employer posting action. How-to-edit questions about visitor-facing pages go to the website builder.
| What you want to edit | Where |
|---|---|
| About, homepage, legal pages, contact, new pages | Website builder |
| Header, footer, branding, on-site labels | Website builder |
| Jobs, companies, blog posts | Dashboard: Jobs, Companies, Blog |
| Backfill rules and payment products | Backfill, Payments |
| Transactional emails | Email editor |
Adding a pricing section to a page does not configure a payment product. Example job cards in a design are not a substitute for real published jobs.
To accept job submissions without online payment and invoice employers yourself, configure a free submission plan and optional approval in the dashboard, then use the builder to explain the process on your site. Follow Handle payments outside Cavuno.
Fast by default
Every board the builder creates starts from Cavuno's starter theme, which passes Google's Core Web Vitals on mobile: the main content appears quickly, taps respond right away, and nothing shifts while the page loads. Pages are rendered on the server, cached at the edge, and ship little JavaScript, so you do not need to tune hosting or caching to get a green report.
Layout, branding, and copy changes keep that foundation. The usual ways to slow a board down are large unoptimized images, embedded video, and third-party scripts, so add them deliberately and measure the published site afterward. See Page speed and Core Web Vitals.
Your board keeps improving after you customize it
Your edits stay yours. Our updates still reach you. Every board the builder creates starts from Cavuno's starter theme and keeps a full version history. When we ship a fix, a performance improvement, or a new capability in the starter theme, we merge just that change into your board's live version, around your customizations.
Each update is built and checked before it goes live, and it can be rolled back. If an update clashes with one of your changes, your board is held back until the clash is resolved, so your customizations are preserved. When an update reaches your board, the builder shows Your board has been upgraded.
The same applies to changes you make with your own coding agent. They are part of the same version history, and cavuno builder pull brings an update into your local checkout.
Access
Open Website builder from your board's sidebar. AI builder access is enabled per board during rollout. If you still see the section-based editor or cannot open the AI builder, contact support about access.
