Adding written content to your site is as easy as dragging any of our text elements to a page. The primary text elements are Text and Title:
- Title: For adding an H2 headline before a paragraph, or anywhere on the page when you want some text to stand out. (NOTE: If you require an H1-H6 custom tag, please contact our help desk.)
- Text: This is what you'll want to use for the majority of the written content on your site.
Drag either element to your page, and click on it to start writing.
You can type multiple paragraphs inside a single text element or you can add a new text element for each paragraph. Whichever you prefer is fine, though in general you will get a cleaner look by adding a new text element for each new paragraph. This also gives you more flexibility when designing your pages, allowing you to change the alignment for each paragraph individually, position different elements between or next to paragraphs, or add an image to each text element if you like.
As you write, take note of the icons and symbols at the top of the element. This is the text toolbar and you can use it to make basic changes to the formatting of your text, similar to what you may be familiar with from word processing apps. Simply select the text you want to modify and click the appropriate button to make that change.
From left to right, the icons allow you to bold your text, italicize it, underline it, make it bigger, make it smaller, change the color, create a link, adjust the alignment of all text within the element, create bulleted and numbered lists, and remove any formatting you previously applied. The left arrow will undo the last change you made, and the right arrow will re-do the last change you undid. Note that these options will only function while you're actively typing inside the element - once you've clicked outside the element, your changes will be saved and you'll need to undo/redo manually.
You may notice that one thing you can't do from the toolbar is change the font family for your text.
