You'll notice that the page loads with a professional template. All you have to do is provide the content about your business.

The editor has common editing tools for inserting photos, including links, text alignment, font styles, font sizes, text colors, and importing tables for stylistic formatting. 

• The View section in the Toolbar displays visual aids for grid lines that appear in the Editor but are not visible on your public site. 
• At the bottom of the editor, you'll find the option to preview your website and edits before publishing to see exactly what your site will look like to the public. 

Edit Page Elements

Information on page elements that you can edit is provided below, along with the necessary instructions. 

Edit the Page Title

Enter the title of your page here. They will show up on the title bar of the visitor's browser and also as the title in online search results. Be sure to include local keywords so that you show up in search results for your location.  

Edit the Page Description

Enter the description of your page here. This is what Google and other search engines will show in smaller text just below the title. This content is heavily utilized for Search Engine Optimization (SEO), so be sure to include the terms applicable to your business and search queries. For example, a property management firm in the City of Grants Pass, Oregon might use the following for their home page: 

Property management in Grants Pass, Oregon, specializing in both residential and commercial properties. 

Note: Be sure to use a different decryption for each page of your site. 

Edit the Page Header

This is where you can insert META tags into the header of this page. Meta tags have many uses, but two of the most common are "Meta Description" and meta tags for proving ownership to search engines. We create the meta description for you, so it is not necessary; however, you can enter other meta tags within this area. Note: See the question mark icon next to this field for more details. 

Editing Text

You can edit the text for your website by clicking in the text boxes or highlighting and deleting the content in the template and replacing it with your own. Note: within the text boxes, you'll also find guidelines for how to edit content within the template.  

Page Layout

The layout of the template is created using tables from the toolbar. The gridlines that appear in the website editor display the table constraints and will be transparent once your website is published.  

Edit the content in the tables provided or delete the tables and all the included content by clicking on a table to highlight, then click CTRL + X on your keyboard. 

Tip: You will know when something is highlighted when it is blue (see example below) 

Editing Images

You can upload any photo wherever you would like it to appear in the content of your website or choose to replace the images already provided in the template. To replace an image, click on an image (it will appear blue) and click the Insert/Edit Image icon in the toolbar. 

A pop-up window will let you upload a new image from your computer, select the image dimensions, and enter a description. Note: If your image does not appear right away, be patient; it's simply loading. 

System Note: If you don't see your edits when you preview the page, ensure you have clicked Save after editing text or uploading images. Before leaving the editor, you will be prompted to save any unsaved content. 

When you feel like your content is ready for the world ot see, you are ready to press the Publish button. When you do, your website will be live and available to the public for viewing. 

Tip: Once published, you have the option to edit the content as often as you like, and the republished updates will be immediately available to your site visitors.
