How to Edit An Existing Page

> All pages
This will show you all the existing pages on your website.
To edit an existing page, simply hover your mouse over the page and click on “Edit”
Click once over the page element that you wish to edit.

How to Add a New Page
Login to Wordpress Account

Click on “Advanced Layout Editor” and you will be presented with the following screen, with 3 tabs at the top
Layout Elements – lets you choose the layout of a particular page
Content Elements – lets you choose what type of item you wish to insert, eg. text, list, button etc
Media Elements – lets you insert images, videos, galleries, animation sliders
Firstly drag and drop in the layout elements. For example 1/2 and 1/2 means the page will be divided into two halves. Or 2/3 and 1/3, etc.
You can also add in a “Color” element first, which will allow you to insert different coloured background or even place images in the background. If you wish to use this feature, drag and drop it in first, followed by dragging and dropping in the layout elements.
Next, click on the “Content Elements” or “Media Elements” tab and drag and drop one of the content elements over the layout element (Tip: drop the content element when the layout elements is highlighted in green – this will ensure it gets placed within the layout element).
Once you finish adding in the information/images, click on “Save” bottom right hand corner.
