You can now log in and make changes to your website yourself. ✨
This includes:
Text
Images
Galleries
Certain design elements like colours
You can only edit content that already exists. If you want to add anything new - eg a new service, a new text box, or change the design/layout, you’ll need to ask me.
This can only be done on a laptop/computer, NOT a mobile phone or tablet.
I can still do your changes if you prefer - just email me as usual.
If you need, I am happy to record you a bespoke screen video showing you how to edit your website. Just let me know.
INSTRUCTIONS
Receiving your invite.
If you do not already have access, you will receive an email from Wix with an invite to become a contributor to the website. It should look something like this:
Once you have clicked Accept Invite, you will be asked to create an account. That will automatically log you in, and you can skip to Step 2.
Please note if your website is not showing in your Wix account, let me know and I will send you a new invite.
1: Log into your Wix account here - https://users.wix.com/signin
Log into Wix using the details you set up. If you have forgotten them, go through the reset password link.
2: Find 'edit site' at the top right.
Once you are in your dashboard, click the button at the top right with the little pencil saying "edit site".

3: You are now in the content editor. Choose the page you'd like to work on.
To change the page you're editing: Click the dropdown at the top left.

To change text
Click the section the text is in. Edit it using the column on the right. Each piece of text should come up separately.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you keep roughly to the current word count of any given section or you will scramble up the design of the site (as sections will resize to fit your new word count). Once you have published, check your changes on the website to make sure everything looks ok.

To change a single image (not part of a gallery)
Click the section the image is in. Click 'Change' when you see the correct image on the right hand side.

This will bring up your media manager, which will contain all the images ever uploaded to the website by either me or you.
Choose the right image from the media manager and double click it.
If the image isn't uploaded to the website yet, click 'Upload Media' at the top right and choose the image from your computer.

Try and keep an organised folder of images.
To change images in a gallery
Go to the page and section with the gallery in it.
Click 'Manage Media' under 'Wix Pro Gallery.'
This will take you to the images in the gallery. Re-arrange as necessary. Click 'Upload Media' to find new images from your computer and drop them in the gallery.

To save or publish
If you want to save as a draft to return later, click save.
When you're ready, click 'Publish' to get your changes live online.
Once you have published I cannot undo your changes, so please make sure everything is correct before clicking Publish.
