How to Update Your Website
A plain-English guide to every part of the site. Keep this page bookmarked so you can follow along while making changes in the Admin Portal.
Welcome to your Admin Portal
Everything on this website can be updated from here, no designer needed. Use the menu on the left to move between sections. Below is a quick guide to each one.
1. Signing In
Go to the website and click "Admin Portal" in the footer. Enter the email address your invitation was sent to and your password. If you have not set a password yet, use the "Forgot Password" link on the sign-in page to create one.
2. Photos
This is where you upload and remove images. Choose the page placement (gallery, home, about, etc.), give the photo a title, add a short caption, then upload the file. Only upload landscape or portrait photos you own the rights to.
3. Calendar
Add classes, workshops, and events. Fill in the title, date, start and end time, location, and category. Set the activity to "Active" so it shows on the public Events page, or turn it off to hide it without deleting it.
4. Content
Edit the text on your pages. Each entry has a section label so you can find it quickly. Change the title or body text, then save. Updates appear on the live site immediately.
5. Videos
Paste a full YouTube link to add a video. The system pulls it in automatically. Give it a title and category, and set it to "Active" to publish it or hide it to keep it off the Videos page.
6. Assistant
Not sure where something lives? Ask the assistant in plain English, for example "how do I change the homepage headline" or "add a photo to the gallery." It can also make small edits for you.
Good to Know
Changes save instantly — no publish button required.
To remove something, use the delete button on its row. Turn an item off instead if you may want it back later.
