Enhanced Border Controls in GoHighLevel Page Builder (Per-Side + Per-Corner)

How to use the new Border controls for cleaner, more custom page designs in GHL

Border controls are now easier to fine-tune

Border controls in GoHighLevel just got a real upgrade, and you’ll feel it the next time you build a page. If you’ve ever clicked around looking for the “right” border setting, you know how annoying that can be.

Now the Page Builder uses one improved Border section across supported elements. You can set border width for each side, set border radius for each corner, and choose from more border styles like double, groove, ridge, inset, and outset. It’s cleaner, more consistent, and easier to repeat across a full page.

The nice part is you do not have to worry about old work breaking. Pages that used the older border settings will keep working as-is, while you get better Border controls for anything you edit moving forward.

With the new Border controls, you can fine-tune page element borders by side and corner, create cleaner designs faster, and keep your older GHL pages working without rework.

Quick Summary – Border controls Essentials

Purpose: This guide shows you how to use the updated Border controls in GoHighLevel Page Builder to style elements with more precision and less hassle.

Why It Matters: Cleaner borders and consistent corner rounding make pages look more professional, which helps visitors trust the page and take action.

What You Get: You can set border width per side, border radius per corner, and use new border styles like double, groove, ridge, inset, and outset from one improved Border section.

Time To Complete: Most updates take 10 to 20 minutes per page once you know where the settings are.

Difficulty Level: Easy. If you can open a page and click an element, you can use these Border controls.

Key Outcome: Your funnels and websites will look more consistent and polished, and you can make design changes faster without risking older page designs.

What’s Improved in Border controls

Border controls are now built for the way people actually design pages. Instead of fighting the old settings, you get one improved Border section that feels the same across supported elements in the Page Builder.

First, you can set border width per side. That means you can make only the top border thicker for a clean section divider, or add a left border to create a simple “highlight bar” style on a text block. No more settling for “all sides the same” when that is not what your layout needs.

Second, you can set border radius per corner, not just one radius for the whole element. This is great for modern card designs, tab-style sections, and button blocks where you want one side rounded and the other side squared. You also get five extra border styles: double, groove, ridge, inset, and outset. These help you create subtle depth or stronger callouts without adding extra elements. And if you have older pages built with the previous border settings, they will still work correctly.

Why This Matters to You (Border controls)

Border controls matter because design details affect trust. When a page looks clean and consistent, people stay longer, read more, and click more. When borders look uneven or random, the page feels off, even if the copy is good.

This update also saves time. Per-side width and per-corner radius means you can build common layouts faster. Think pricing cards, feature boxes, FAQ sections, and callout blocks. You can create those looks with simple settings instead of extra elements or custom CSS.

It also makes teamwork easier. If you have a VA, a designer, or a junior builder editing pages, a consistent Border section reduces mistakes. And since older pages still keep their original settings, you can improve new builds without risking the styles on pages that are already live.

Pro / Quick Tips for Better Border controls

Border controls can make a page look clean fast, but only if you use them with some discipline. If every box has a border, nothing stands out. Use borders to guide the eye, not to decorate everything.

A simple win is using one-side borders as dividers. Set a top border on a section to separate content, or a left border on a text block to create a quick “note” style. It’s faster than adding extra elements, and it stays consistent when you duplicate sections.

When you test new Border controls, keep things tight. Pick one or two border widths and reuse them. Keep the corner radius consistent across the page. If you try groove, ridge, inset, or outset, go thin and use lighter colors. And always check mobile before you publish because thick borders can look clunky on a small screen.

What This Means for Your Business (Border controls)

Border controls might sound like a small design detail, but they affect how “finished” your pages feel. When your borders are consistent, your pages look more professional. That makes it easier for visitors to trust the offer, and it makes clients trust your work.

For agencies, this also means faster builds and faster edits. You can create clean pricing boxes, feature sections, and callout areas without extra blocks or custom CSS. When a client asks for a “quick polish,” you can fix spacing, borders, and corners in minutes instead of rebuilding sections.

It also helps with team handoff. If a VA or designer jumps into a page, they are more likely to make clean changes because the Border controls work the same way across supported elements. And since older pages keep working with their original border settings, you can improve new pages without worrying about breaking old ones.

Frequently Asked Questions about Border controls

Conclusion: Border controls

Border controls are now easier to fine-tune, and that’s a real win if you build pages often. You can set border width per side, round corners individually, and use the new border styles when you need a little extra emphasis. It’s all in one consistent Border section, so editing feels more predictable.

This update also keeps things safe. Older pages built with the previous border settings will still display correctly, so you can improve new designs without worrying about breaking live pages.

Now do a quick test on one active funnel or website page. Pick one section, tighten up the borders, check mobile, then publish. Small changes like this make your pages look more polished, and that helps conversions.
