Content

Create categories, add items, edit copy, attach images and icons, reorder, and delete.


Creating a Category

Adds a new top-level section to your site with its own page and URL.

Categories are your main sections. Examples: Services, Projects, Blog, About.

Each category automatically receives a homepage section, its own dedicated page, and its own URL.

  1. Click on Sites in the Nav bar.
  2. Click on Content -- this takes you to the Content Manager for your website.
  3. On the left sidebar, the first button will be a (+New). Ensure you select that and not the ones under a pre-existing category.
  4. This will lead you to a form. Enter the relevant information using the Data Entry Guide below.
  5. Click Save.

The category is automatically added to the homepage, given its own dedicated page, and assigned its own URL. You do not need to manually create the page separately.

Field NameWhat it does
Slug *This is the web link for the page. It is auto-generated and greyed out, so you do not need to worry about typing anything here.
NameThe internal name used to identify this item in the system.
Display nameThe name that people will see on the actual website.
Display pluralThe name used when the system refers to a group of these items (e.g., "Galleries" instead of "Gallery").
Title *The main heading of your page. This is the minimum required field -- you must fill this out to save.
Short TitleA shorter version of the title to be used in small spaces, like menu bars.
TaglineA brief, catchy sentence that appears under the title (like a slogan).
ContentThe main section where you type all the primary information and details.
IconA small symbol or graphic used to represent this item visually.
ImageA photo or logo you select from the library to be shown with your content.
External LinkA web address you can add if you want to send people to a different website.
Display OrderA number that tells the system which item should come first, second, or third in a list.

The Golden Rule: You only have to fill in the Title to get started. Everything else is optional depending on how much detail you want to add. Ignore the Slug: Even though it has a star next to it, the system handles it for you automatically. If it is greyed out, it is doing its job.

Adding a Content Item

Adds a new piece of content inside a category, with its own detail page.

Content items live inside categories. Examples: a service inside Services, an article inside Blog.

  1. Click on Sites in the Nav bar.
  2. Click on Content -- this takes you to the Content Manager for your website.
  3. On the left sidebar, find the (+New) button under the category you want to add this content item to. Ensure you select that and not the one above which creates a new category.
  4. This will lead you to a form. Enter the relevant information using the Data Entry Guide below.
  5. Click Save.

The item appears immediately within the category.

Editing Content

Update the title, tagline, or body of any existing content item.

Each content item contains editable fields. To begin making changes, enter Edit Mode by clicking the Pencil Icon at the top right of your screen (just below the navigation bar).

  1. Direct inline editing You can update visual elements and headings instantly without leaving the page. These changes save automatically.
  • For Text (Title and Tagline): Click on the text and type your changes directly on the screen.
  • For Icons: Click the icon to open the Icon Picker and select a new symbol.
  • For Media (Images): Click the image to upload a new file or select one from your existing library.

To view: Click the Preview button to see your live site with the updated look.

  1. Detailed content editing For the main body or larger sections of text, the system will guide you to a dedicated editor.
  • Click directly on the main content area. You will be redirected to the Content Manager.
  • The specific section you want to change will be highlighted automatically so you do not have to hunt for it.
  • Once you have finished your updates in the Content Manager, click the Save button to apply the changes.

For best results: clear titles, short descriptive taglines, structured body content. Avoid large unbroken paragraphs.

Pro Tip: Not sure if you need to hit save? If you had to leave the page to a new screen to edit, click Save. If you stayed on the same page, the system has already handled it for you.

Adding an Image to an Item

Images can be attached directly to content items.

-Select: Browse through the images you have already uploaded to your library. 4. Once selected, the image will update on the page instantly.

Since inline edits to images save automatically, you do not need to look for a save button. Once you are happy with the new look, click the Preview button at the top of the screen to see exactly how your website looks to your visitors.

Adding an Icon to an Item

Assigns an icon to an item as a visual element in place of a photo.

Icons help visually distinguish items and sections.

  4. Click on the icon you want. It will immediately replace the old one on your screen.

Since inline edits to icons save automatically, you do not need to look for a save button. Click the Preview button to see exactly how your website looks to your visitors.

Use icons consistently across related content.

Reordering Items

Changes the order in which items appear within a category.

The order of your content shapes what visitors notice first. Reordering lets you control that without deleting or recreating anything.

  1. In Edit Mode, click the pencil icon on the section you want to reorganize.
  2. The content manager opens showing all items in the current order.
  3. Drag items into the order you want.
  4. The new order saves automatically.

After reordering, click the eye icon to preview and confirm the order looks correct.

Deleting an Item

Permanently removes a content item and all its sub-items from your site.

Deletion is permanent. If you only want to temporarily hide content, use the Published toggle instead.

Step 1: Enter Edit Mode Look at the top right side of your screen, just below the navigation bar. Click on the Pencil Icon to toggle Edit Mode on.

Step 2: Access the Content Manager Click directly on the Main Body/Content of the item you want to delete. The system will automatically redirect you to the Content Manager and highlight that specific section.

Step 3: Delete the item

  1. Look at the top right side of the Content Manager screen, just to the left of the Save button.
  2. Click the Delete button.
  3. A prompt will appear asking if you are sure. Only click OK if you are absolutely certain.

Important: Once an item is deleted, it is permanently removed from the system. We cannot retrieve or undo a deletion, so please double-check before confirming.
