How to Add and Edit Text in SiteJet

Text is at the heart of every website. SiteJet makes it easy to add, edit, and style text anywhere on your pages - no coding needed.

Editing Existing Text

The fastest way to change text on your site is to edit the placeholder text that comes with your template:

1. Click on any text element on the canvas to select it
2. Double-click to enter edit mode
3. Select the text you want to replace and type your own content
4. Click anywhere outside the text block when you're done

Adding a New Text Element

To add a new text block to your page:

1. Open the left sidebar in the SiteJet editor
2. Look for the Text or Elements section
3. Drag a text element - such as a heading, paragraph, or list - onto the canvas
4. Drop it into the section or container where you want it to appear
5. Double-click the element to start editing

Formatting Your Text

When you're in text edit mode, a formatting toolbar appears above the text. Use it to:

• Change the text type: Heading 1, Heading 2, Paragraph, etc.
• Apply bold, italic, or underline styles
• Align text left, center, right, or justified
• Add a hyperlink to another page, email address, or external URL
• Adjust font size and colour for the selected text

Tips for Great Website Copy

• Keep paragraphs short - two to four sentences is ideal for web reading
• Use headings to break up content and help visitors scan your page
• Make sure your most important message appears near the top of the page
