Edit your school website

Every EduHost school gets its own website. Use this guide to choose a design (a theme), then change its pages, colours and header in the site editor.

Before you start

• Only school admins can manage themes. Other staff see the message View only — only school admins can manage themes.
• You can work on a theme before parents see it. Visitors see only the theme marked Live.

Add a theme

1. In the sidebar, open Themes.
2. Look under Your themes. If it says No themes yet, go to the presets below it.
3. Pick a preset you like and press Add theme.
4. The new theme now shows under Your themes.

Edit pages, colours and header

1. On your theme, press Customise. You see Opening the editor… for a moment.
2. To add a page, press New page.
3. To add content to a page, press Insert section. The section appears straight away.
4. To add words, use Add text. To add a box or shape, use Add shape.
5. To change colours and the look of an item, select it and use the settings in the Right panel.
6. To change the top part of the site, select the Header. It shows on every page of the theme, so you change it once.
7. Made a mistake? Press Undo (Ctrl Z). Press Redo (Ctrl ⇧ Z) to bring it back.
8. Press Preview site to see how the site looks. Press Back to the draft to keep editing.

Put your theme on the website

1. Go back to Themes.
2. On the theme you want, press Set as live.
3. That theme is now marked Live and visitors see it.

Good to know

• If you see Unsaved changes in the editor, your latest changes are not saved yet.
• Versions in the editor lets you look at earlier copies of your work.
• You can switch designs any time. Your content stays.
• If a theme shows Get update, a newer version of that preset is ready.
• To show notices, teachers, jobs and the calendar on your site, see Show notices, teachers, jobs and calendar on the site.
