Site Owner Basics
Creating content:
To add a new page
- Pages>Add New
- Type in title where it says Add Title and choose to have the title displayed on the page or not by clicking the eye on the left. Choose Launch Beaver Builder. Once your page is created create content by adding rows and modules.
Designing a new page
- Once a page has been created, drag something from the rows or modules content on the right side of the screen. The rows will allow you to make columns and different content areas. The modules allow you to add text, photos, icons, etc. If you’d like to use a pre-designed page, check out the templates tab. The templates create a pre-designed page where pictures and text can be changed but the overall style and feel is already done.
Editing Content
- To edit a page, select the page in the Dashboard and click on Beaver Builder. Click on the content box you want to edit and change text, add pictures or create more content.
- To add another content box click on the plus sign in the top right corner. Choose text box, photo, etc. and drag it into a row. Move around modules by clicking and dragging.
Using Templates
Beaver Builder offers pre-build pages and sections. Choose a template and just change text and pictures to have a fresh, new design.
