Editing Your Content

If your site was set up with a content editor (Decap CMS), you can update text, images, and page content directly from your browser — no coding required.

Self-edits are your responsibility

Changes you make through the editor are live once saved. If something breaks as a result of a self-made change, repairs are billed at our standard hourly rate. When in doubt, contact us first.

Accessing the Editor

1. Go to https://yourdomain.com/admin (replace with your actual domain).
2. Click Login with GitHub.
3. Authorise the app — you’ll only need to do this once.
4. You’ll land on the CMS dashboard.

Making Changes

Editing a Page

1. Click Pages in the left sidebar.
2. Select the page you want to edit (e.g. Home, About, Services).
3. Update the text in the editor fields.
4. Click Save — a draft is saved but not yet published.
5. Click Publish to push the change live.

Changes go live within 1–2 minutes via automatic deployment.

Replacing an Image

1. Open the page or section that contains the image.
2. Click the image field.
3. Upload a new image (JPG or PNG, max 2MB recommended).
4. Save and publish as above.

What You Can Safely Change

Safe to edit	Caution
Page text and headings	Don’t delete fields — leave them blank instead
Images	Keep images under 2MB for fast loading
Contact details	Make sure email addresses are typed correctly
Business hours or pricing	Double-check before publishing

What You Should NOT Touch

• Layout or design — contact us for design changes
• Navigation links — these are tied to page structure
• Any file outside the CMS editor — editing code files directly can break the site

Reverting a Change

All saves are tracked in GitHub. If you need to undo a change:

1. Email us at sharewebbiz@gmail.com with a description of what changed.
2. We can roll back to any previous version — this is a paid support call if outside the maintenance plan.

Troubleshooting

The editor won’t load / shows an error Try logging out and back in. If it persists, contact us.

My change isn’t showing up on the site Wait 2 minutes and hard-refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R). Deployments occasionally take a few minutes.

I accidentally deleted something Stop — don’t save. Refresh the page to discard unsaved changes. If already saved, contact us immediately.
