# Features

CubeSites is a visual website builder for UK businesses. Pick a template or describe your business and let AI draft the first version, then edit every section on the page itself. Your own domain, a blog, contact forms, a product catalogue and online shop, a team page that can stay in step with CubeHR, and a brand generator for when you do not have a logo yet.
