# Can I use a Page builder with HBook?

Yes, you can use your favorite builder!

It takes two steps to add a HBook element with your page builder :

- Add a module for **shortcode** or a **text** module
- Write the HBook shortcode

We provide more details for each builder in these articles of our knoweldgebase :

            

If you are using a different builder, you can check if you have a “**Shortcode**” element and use it. If your builder does not provide an element to add shortcodes, you can as well use a “Text” element, which you obviously have!

## Can I use the pages already created with my favorite builder?

Yes! If you already have created your own pages to showcase your accommodation types (rooms, villa, apartment, cabin, etc…), HBook allows you to set a different page (than HBook accommodation pages) to be used to display your accommodation type.

- you will create HBook accommodation types only for the settings of the booking system as the occupancy settings, number of accommodation of this type, etc…
- you will indicate the ID of the page to be used for display purposes (the one you have created with your favorite builder)

It has several effects:

- You can then use HBook shortcodes or blocks on your theme page without specifying the “accom\_id” parameter. HBook will know what accommodation type is concerned.
- At the accommodation selection step of the booking process, the “View accommodation” button will redirect to your theme page.
- At the accommodation selection step of the booking process, if you have set that the thumbnail and title of the accommodation type should link to the accommodation page, it will open your theme page.
- In the accommodation list, if you have set that the thumbnail should link to the accommodation page, it will open your theme page.
