Editing page content

1. Find your page.

Click on ‘pages’ in the menu, find your page in the listing (may be on page 2) and click on the page name to enter your page edit view. (And don’t forget to have that public page open in your other browser tab for easy ‘update|reload’ action!)

2. Change your page (a little)

Your page edit view will contain a number of custom fields that have been lovingly crafted to create the public page view. These should be descriptive enough for you to find the content you wish to edit.

Simply find your content, make your changes, click and then ‘reload’ your live browser tab to see your changes.

General elements

Each page section may be divided up into various component parts. Again, this should be obvious, and remember that it’s likely to be text that you want to change (a little, not a lot), and that care should be taken when changing out images or making substantive changes to the amount of text.

Here’s an example from the ‘education’ -> ‘how desalination works’ page:

Specific (often dynamic) elements

Note that some individual elements are editable to allow you to make simple (at least annual) changes to dynamic site elements, such as the statistics in the home page dashboard view:

3. Change your page (a lot)

While a CMS allows you to make significant changes, much care has gone into each page layout, so bear that in mind should you wish to make some changes, such as changing out an image for another which may be of different dimensions or not optimised for web display, just to name a couple of the likely pitfalls!

Similarly, removing or adding entirely new content sections is deliberately beyond the tools provided to you. This kind of thing should be done in conjunction with the folks at Primary Create.

4. Change your mind?

Never fear, we have cunning tools available to fix pretty much anything you may wittingly or unwittingly do while you’re working away in your new role as ‘webmaster lite’. Please contact Primary Create and we’ll jump onto restoring things for you as soon as humanly possible!

Managing calls to action

‘Calls to action’ (CTAs) in our context refer to the tiles that are used to encourage users to jump across to other relevant or complementary pages. These appear below the content on many site pages, just before our FAQs:

1. Editing a Call to Action tile

Click on “Calls to Action‘ to view all CTAs, find your CTA of interest, then click its title to edit.

i) You can easily update ‘heading’, ‘introductory text’, and ‘button text’ (not too long please!) content for the CTA and click and reload a live page containing that CTA to view your work.

ii) Icons: these should ideally be produced by Primary Create, but instructions are given for sizing should you be feeling courageous. If you want to change an icon, hover over it, and remove it by clicking the “X” that appears and then click . You can then drag and drop or search for your new icon file and add it via the media library. (Don’t forget to click and ‘reload’ the containing live page to see your changes).

iii) CTA page targets: To change the page link for a CTA, simply find that page from the ‘Button URL’ dropdown (and do the whole update/reload thing of course!).

Please seek assistance from Primary Create if you wish to target a specific part of a page with your CTA button link.

2. To add a CTA

Hover over ‘Calls to Action’ and select ‘Add Call to Action’ from the sub-menu and, voila!, you’ll be presented with the ability to add a new CTA.

Please follow the instructions above to add your new CTA content but this time you will click to create your new shiny CTA!

3. Selecting CTAs for each page

Follow the instructions in ‘Editing page content’ to access the relevant page’s edit view and scroll down to ‘Call to action blocks’:

To remove CTAs from this page, click the “X’ within each CTA shown (above).

To add a new CTA to this page, click within the CTA row shown and then select the CTA from the dropdown of all site CTAs:

To reduce the number of CTAs shown, you can click in the CTA row and start typing from the start of the title of the desired CTA:

As ever, don’t forget to this page and ‘reload’ to see your work!

Please note that all pages must have 3 CTAs.
