WordPress Basics – Editing a WordPress Page

To edit static WordPress pages, you must first sign into your WordPress dashboard (help). If you do not know what a static WordPress page is then read this article: WordPress Pages.

Once logged-in, navigate to your pages list. On the left hand navigation menu, select “Pages”. This will bring up a list of pages on your WordPress site. Scroll through and find the page that you wish to edit, select it to bring up the editor.

One important thing to remember on this page is wether you are in “Visual” or “HTML” mode. These tabs are located in the top right of the content area. I, obviously, suggest “HTML” mode and think that all clients should learn the basic html tags for a better experience with your WordPress blog. If you really do not feel comfortable with HTML mode click on the “Visual” tab to use a WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) style editor.

All new browsers are tab enabled. Whenever working on a WordPress Page, I have the editor in one tab and then the live site in another. At any time you can click “Publish” or “Update”, switch tabs, and hit refresh to see the fruits of your labor.

   As a small business owner it is extremely difficult to find a website builder and designer that is willing to cater to your needs, regardless of your budget. In the four years we have been with Grover Web Design we continue to be impressed with their knowledge, attention to detail, prompt response time, and professionalism.  Thank you Grover Web Design for continuing to provide us at Bigger Glass Company with the best all-around website support!

   GWD is the Best in the industry. They designed our website and listened to our input and gave great ideas and expertise. We get tons of compliments on our website and that has increased business for us! In addition, they manage our website and taught us how to do some changes ourselves. If we ask they immediately update and makes changes as needed. They are responsive and so professional and fun to work with. Highly recommend!

They are fast, cost efficient and super creative !!  Their customer service followup is simply the BEST.  Never going to another designer again !  Donny, thank you for all you do,  Clare Hungiville.

   As a small team based in New Zealand, we've used Grover Web Design to help with the running/maintenance of the Global Big Latch On website. We've always found Donny to be easy to communicate with, professional, and responsive (despite our time zone differences). We would recommend GWD to others.
