Editing basics

If you have a website through RuufPro, it comes with a real WordPress site behind it. You don't edit it on WordPress's normal "Pages" screen — almost everything lives in one place: the Website Editor.

Opening the Website Editor

  1. Open your website and click Edit this page in the black bar at the top (you must be logged in to see it). This turns on click-to-edit right on the page.
  2. Or, in your WordPress admin sidebar, click Website Editor.
  3. Look at the tabs on the left: Content, Reviews, Photos, Menu, Global Values, Theme.

This page covers what's in Global Values and Theme, plus a few things on the Content tab that aren't Hero, About, Services, or Reviews. For those, see Hero & About, Services & areas, and Reviews, photos & FAQs.

Global Values vs. Theme vs. Content. Global Values holds facts about your business that show up in more than one place — your name, phone, hours. Change it once and it updates everywhere. Theme holds your site's overall look — colors and fonts. Content is for the words on one specific page or section.

Business info (Global Values)

Click the Global Values tab. You can change:

Click Save when you're done.

Test it: Go to your live site. If you changed the phone number, check the header and footer — both should show the new one.

Site design (Theme)

Click the Theme tab. You can change:

Leave any box blank and it stays automatic — it keeps following your Primary color or your site's built-in default. Leaving one blank never breaks your site.

Click Save. Test it: check a button or heading on your live site — the color (and font, if you changed it) should match.

Section headings and intros

Each section of your pages — Services, Service Areas, Gallery, Reviews, FAQ — can have its own heading and a short intro line. Find these on the Content tab, next to the section they belong to, or on Global Values for a few site-wide ones:

Call-to-action band

The CTA band is the section at the bottom of your pages that gets people to contact you. On the Global Values tab, look for the Call-to-Action section:

Also on Global Values, under Footer or Business Info:

Test it: scroll to the footer on any live page and check your social links, location, and emergency note. Visit your Contact page too.

Tagline and favicon

Your tagline is set in Global Values → Business tagline, or in WordPress's own Appearance > Customize > Site Identity — both stay in sync, so use whichever you're already in. Leave Business tagline blank and your site falls back to the Footer blurb field instead.

Your favicon (the small icon in a browser tab) only has one place to edit it: WordPress's Appearance > Customize > Site Identity > Select Site Icon. Use a square image, at least 512×512 pixels, PNG or JPG.

Test it: open your site in a new private/incognito window — browsers cache favicons, so your regular window may keep showing the old one for a while.

SEO title and description

Every page has an SEO title and description — the blue link text and short blurb people see on a Google search result, not text that shows on the page itself.

  1. Open the page on your website and click Edit this page. This opens the Website Editor for that page.
  2. Scroll the page panel to the SEO section.
  3. Type your SEO title (60 characters or fewer) and SEO description (160 or fewer). The counters help you.
  4. Click Save.

Leave a box empty and the site fills it in from the page's own heading and your business name. Google can take days or weeks to show the new text in search results — that's normal.

Service and service-area pages: editing SEO title and description for these specific pages isn't available in the Website Editor yet. Contact support if you need one changed.
