Common Tasks ​

This guide covers the most frequent updates site admins need to make. Use it as a quick reference when you need to make a specific change.

Tip: For any task below, you can usually skip straight to the right screen by pressing Ctrl+K (or Cmd+K) and typing what you're looking for, rather than following the tab-by-tab steps. See Search for details.

Updating Your Contact Details ​

If your phone number, email address, or physical address has changed:

  1. Click My Website in the left menu (shown as Sites if you have more than one site).
  2. Open the Contact & Social tab.
  3. Update the relevant fields: phone number, email address, or address.
  4. Click Save.

Note: Contact details saved here are often used in multiple places across your website, such as the footer, the contact page, and the header. Updating them here will update all instances at once.

Tip: After changing your contact email, click Send test submission next to the Email field to confirm enquiries will reach you. Replies to enquiries appear in Messages - see the Messages guide.

Changing Your Phone Number ​

Your phone number may appear in several places: the header, footer, and contact page. The fastest way to update it everywhere at once is through your site settings.

  1. Click My Website in the left menu (shown as Sites if you have more than one site).
  2. Open the Contact & Social tab.
  3. Find the Phone field.
  4. Enter your new number.
  5. Click Save.

If the phone number on your contact page is stored separately from your global settings, you may also need to update it there:

  1. Go to My Website → Pages and open your Contact page.
  2. Find the phone number field and update it.
  3. Click Save.

Updating Your Hero Section ​

The hero section is the large banner at the top of your home page. It usually includes a heading, a short description, a background image, and buttons.

To update it:

  1. Click My Website in the left menu (shown as Sites if you have more than one site).
  2. Click the Hero tab, under Content.
  3. Update the fields you want to change. Common fields include:
    • Headline - The main large text.
    • Subheading - The smaller text below the headline.
    • Background Image - The large image or colour behind the text.
    • Primary button text and Primary button link - The main call-to-action button.
  4. Click Save.

Adding a Testimonial ​

Testimonials are customer quotes that help build trust with new visitors.

  1. Click My Website in the left menu (shown as Sites if you have more than one site).
  2. Click the Testimonials tab, under Content.
  3. Click New testimonial to add one, or click an existing one to edit it.
  4. Fill in the fields:
    • Author Name - The customer's name.
    • Quote - What the customer said.
    • Author Title (optional) - Their job title.
    • Author Company (optional) - The company they work for.
    • Rating (optional) - A star rating from 1 to 5.
    • Avatar (optional) - A photo of the customer.
  5. Click Save.

Tip: If you have a lot of reviews to add at once, use Import CSV above the testimonials list instead of adding them one by one. Your file needs columns for author name, title, company, rating, and the quote itself.

Tip: If you manage more than one site, select testimonials and use the Copy to another site bulk action to reuse them elsewhere instead of re-entering them.

Updating Your Services ​

If you have added, removed, or changed the services your business offers:

  1. Click My Website in the left menu (shown as Sites if you have more than one site).
  2. Click the Features tab, under Content.
  3. You will see a list of existing services. Click the edit icon next to the one you want to change, or click New feature to add a new one.
  4. Update the relevant fields:
    • Title - The name of the service.
    • Description - A brief explanation of what it includes.
    • Icon or Icon Image (optional) - A visual icon for the service.
  5. Click Save.

To remove a service, click the delete icon next to it and confirm when prompted.

Updating Your Business Hours ​

If your opening hours are displayed on your website:

  1. Click My Website in the left menu (shown as Sites if you have more than one site).
  2. Open the Contact & Social tab.
  3. Scroll to the Business Hours section.
  4. Update the relevant days and times.
  5. Click Save.

If you cannot find business hours in the Contact tab, they may be stored as text on your Contact page. In that case:

  1. Go to My Website → Pages and open your Contact page.
  2. Find the hours text field and update it manually.
  3. Click Save.

Updating Your Logo or Branding ​

If you have a new logo, or need to change your brand colours or fonts:

  1. Click My Website in the left menu (shown as Sites if you have more than one site).
  2. Open the Identity tab.
  3. Scroll to the Logo & Favicon section. Upload your new logo by clicking the logo upload area or dragging and dropping a new file onto it.
  4. Click Save.

Note: Logos often need to be PNG files with a transparent background so they look clean against any header colour. If your logo has a white or coloured box around it, the file may not have a transparent background. Ask your designer to provide a version with transparency.

To change your brand colours or fonts instead, stay on the Identity tab:

  • Brand Colours - choose one of the preset colour palettes, or pick individual colours yourself. A live preview shows how they will look in both light and dark mode as you change them.
  • Typography - choose a heading font and a body font from the available options, with a live preview of each.

Click Save after making changes in either section.

  1. Click My Website in the left menu (shown as Sites if you have more than one site).
  2. Open the Contact & Social tab.
  3. Scroll to Social Profiles.
  4. Paste the full web address for each platform you use (Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Threads, Pinterest, or GitHub). Leave any you don't use blank.
  5. Click Save.

Only the platforms you fill in will appear on your website.

Adding Your Location to Google Maps ​

  1. Click My Website in the left menu (shown as Sites if you have more than one site).
  2. Open the Contact & Social tab.
  3. Scroll to Location.
  4. Find your business on Google Maps, copy its link, and paste it into the Google Maps link field - your coordinates will be filled in automatically.
  5. Click Save.

Choosing Where Your Contact Form Appears ​

  1. Click My Website in the left menu (shown as Sites if you have more than one site).
  2. Open the Contact & Social tab.
  3. At the top, under Contact, choose a Display mode: hidden, a homepage section only, a dedicated /contact page only, or both.
  4. Click Save.

Managing Your Contact Form Enquiries ​

When a visitor submits your contact form, it appears in Messages in the left menu, where you can read it, reply, and track its status. See the full Messages guide for details.

  1. Click My Website in the left menu (shown as Sites if you have more than one site).
  2. Open the Design tab.
  3. Under Navigation Bar, choose a style (light, dark, or transparent), whether it stays fixed at the top when scrolling, and whether to show a call-to-action button.
  4. Under Footer, update your copyright text or add footer links (for example, Privacy Policy or Terms).
  5. Click Save.

Reordering and Enabling Homepage Sections ​

  1. Click My Website in the left menu (shown as Sites if you have more than one site).
  2. Open the Settings tab.
  3. Under Modules, tick or untick the sections you want active on your site.
  4. Under Homepage Section Order, drag sections into the order you want them to appear.
  5. Click Save.

Tip: Turning a module on here makes it available - use the Display button in the relevant tab under Content to choose whether it shows on the homepage, as its own page, or both.

Duplicating Your Website ​

If you want to reuse your current setup as a starting point for a new site:

  1. Go to the Sites list (only shown if you manage more than one site).
  2. Click Duplicate next to the site you want to copy.

This copies your branding, colours, and section settings into a new, inactive site. Content such as blog posts, testimonials, and gallery images is not copied, and the new site will need its own name and domain before going live.
