Before you can edit your site on Webflow, you need to set up an account.

• Click on the link in the email you've received from workflow entitled "Help manage the company_name website"
• Double-click on some text on the website
• A pop-up will open at the bottom of the page:

• Fill in your required details and click Join Now

If you've lost the invite email, please just email us, and we'll get it resent.

• Go to your website's homepage
• Type ?edit after the web address (ie www.websitename.com?edit) and hit enter
• Login boxes will appear at the bottom of the page - enter your email and password
• From this link you can access all the website pages, any CMS collections that have been set up and any form submissions if your forms are set up within Webflow (instead of a third party program like Mailchimp)

Webflow Editors are limited to making content changes in body copy & headings, as well as being able to change or update images or videos throughout the site. Editors will not be able to make changes to the design or layout of the site. Editors have a limited set of style options for fonts, which include making words bold & italic, and adding hyperlinks. If Editors are editing a Rich Text element, they can also set selected text as Headings (H1-H6).

Webflow Editors can also add new CMS / collection items, based on pre-determined templates that we have set up for them.

‍

Why are the options so limited?

Each page within a website has been carefully designed to have the right balance of headings, body copy & images. The heading sizes & font colours have been designed to take into account the branding and then flow of the page, as have the position of each of the elements on the page. As such, even small or incremental changes can have a cascading effect throughout the page, and in some cases through the site.

‍

What if I want to make changes that Editors cannot make?

If you want to make style changes, add new elements to a page (eg more text boxes, images etc) or add new pages, please contact us.

- Type ?edit after your website's address (ie www.websitename.com?edit) and log on
- Click on the pages tab at the bottom of the screen

- Click on the page you want to edit
- Click within the text box you want to edit, and make the edits required
- Once your changes are made, click on the Publish button in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen

- Type ?edit after your website's address (ie www.websitename.com?edit) and log on
- Click on the pages tab at the bottom of the screen

- Click on the page you want to edit
- Click on the image you want to change
- A file dialogue will open to allow you to select your new image
- Choose the new image and select open
- Once your changes are made, click on the Publish button in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen

If you're logged on as an editor, and you've tried to edit an image on a site, but the blue edit box doesn't appear, this is probably because the image is a background image (ie built into the structure of the page).

If this is the case, please drop us an email with the image you want to load, and we'll get it done for you.

Webflow is a CMS-driven web platform, and CMS stands for Content Management System. Traditionally, Content Management Systems are databases that aren't that easy to use. However, Webflow has simplified the process and leveraged the power of a CMS to make updating your website super easy. Using templates designed collaboratively by you and us, Editors will have access to the CMS, where all the dynamic content is stored and maintained. The website references that dynamic content on different pages. So anytime an Editor creates or changes any content in the CMS, it updates all the pages where it’s referenced, instantly.

We will always design as many of your pages using CMS templates, so Editors can easily add new blog posts / portfolio items / shop items / FAQs etc, without the need for us to build new pages.
