Website builder themes are simply written in normal, standards based html and css, with certain html elements defined as content locations where dynamic content is automatically inserted.
You can easily turn any existing template into a website builder theme by following the guidelines in the Making your own Theme article which contains the essentials you will need to know to get started. In addition, there are a number of optional Components which can be styled to your taste, such as Blogs, Friends, Image Galleries, and more!
Once you've created a theme, you simply zip it and upload it to your website builder site using the Edit Theme Source Code link in the Manage dropdown on the website builder Toolbar. You can learn more about this in Installing Your Theme.
