Editing Solo

So, do you like a bit of DIY? Fair enough; remember that, like any home renovation, editing a website takes skill, and you may be limited in what you know how to do. You may also be limited by the tools in your collection – namely, how you chose to build your website initially.

If you used a program like WordPress (or similar), you should be able to edit your own website by logging back in. Otherwise, some programs can be easy to make changes to if they use page builder software like Beaver Builder, Avada, and Elemntor. However, this is not the case for all website builder programs. Some websites, especially those built with older software that has not been updated, will not be able to be edited.

Ensuring you can edit your own website, long term

The best way to ensure that you can edit your own website in the future is to have it built correctly at the start. This means turning to a professional. They will ensure that your website is made with the capability to implement edits, as well as anticipate and fix:

• Broken links
• Embedded video
• String SEO

Building and editing a website is a complicated and involved process if you aren’t experienced in web design. You wouldn’t install your own plumbing if it meant replacing the pipes every few years, so why would you do the same with your website? Give your business the respect it deserves and hire a professional.

Remember, a good website is a key to growing your business and customer base online.

Building and editing with Icon

Once Icon has built a website for you, it is possible to edit your own website. We changed how we build websites by now using page builder software so clients don’t feel tied to us and can make changes easily – we know, that’s very kind of us.

However, some edits to make are more complex than others, so we will always be here if you need us. For example, adding a new image to your website sounds easy enough, but it can be one of the most challenging edits to make. This is because the image needs to be processed before we can get the dimension size right and reduce the DPI to a small enough measure.
