Editing Design and Content

When using the Website Builder, some parts of your site can be edited directly, while others are locked by default, to ensure everything works correctly. This guide explains how to manage the editable content displayed on your Website Builder using the 'CMS Business' settings.

You can customize:

  • The hero background image
  • The search page heading
  • The search page subheading

📘

Some sections of the website builder are intentionally locked and cannot currently be edited.


Overview

The website builder contains:

  • Editable sections — content you can customize
  • Locked sections — fixed sections that cannot currently be modified

This guide covers the editable content shown in the CMS Business settings.
