Ready-to-use templates can be installed in minutes, then adjusted with color and layout changes, a favicon, and custom HTML.

The builder supports multiple languages and currencies, and HotelRunner describes its websites as SEO optimized; its pricing comparison lists basic SEO for the website builder.
