Visual Editor

The Visual Editor is your main tool for customizing your website's home page. It provides a drag-and-drop interface for arranging sections, inline text editing, design presets, live preview, and autosave - all without writing any code.

Accessing the Editor

Navigate to Website → Design in your dashboard sidebar to open the Visual Editor.

Editor Layout

The editor is split into two areas:

  • Left panel - Section list, settings, and tools
  • Right panel - Live preview of your website in an iframe

Changes you make in the left panel are reflected instantly in the preview on the right.

Working with Sections

Your home page is built from sections - modular content blocks that stack vertically. Each section serves a specific purpose.

Reordering Sections

Drag and drop sections in the left panel to change their order on the page. Click and hold a section, then drag it to the desired position. The preview updates in real time.

Adding Sections

Click the Add Section button to browse the section template library. Select a section type to add it to your page. New sections are added at the bottom and can be dragged to any position.

Removing Sections

Click the settings icon on any section, then click Remove to delete it from your page.

Enabling and Disabling Sections

Each section has an enable/disable toggle. Disabled sections are hidden from visitors but remain in your layout so you can re-enable them later without losing their configuration.

Section Settings

Click the settings icon on any section to open its settings panel. Each section type has specific settings - for example, the Featured Listings section lets you configure how many listings to show, while the Hero section lets you edit the headline text.

Design Presets

The editor includes four one-click design presets that update your branding and section layout simultaneously:

PresetStyleBest For
Modern AgencyClean, minimal with Inter fontContemporary agencies
Luxury EstateElegant with Playfair Display font and transparent headerHigh-end market
Classic ProfessionalTraditional with Georgia fontEstablished agencies
Agent PersonalPersonal branding with DM Sans fontIndividual agents

Click a preset to apply it instantly. You can further customize any preset after applying it.

Inline Text Editing

Click directly on text elements in the preview to edit them in place. This works for headings, paragraphs, and button labels within your sections.

Keyboard Shortcuts

ShortcutAction
Ctrl+Z (Cmd+Z on Mac)Undo last change
Ctrl+Y (Cmd+Y on Mac)Redo
Ctrl+S (Cmd+S on Mac)Save manually

Autosave

The editor automatically saves your changes as you work. A status indicator in the toolbar shows:

  • Saving... - Your changes are being saved
  • Saved - All changes have been saved
  • Error - Save failed (try again or check your connection)

Undo and Redo

The editor maintains a history of your last 50 changes. Use the undo and redo buttons in the toolbar or the keyboard shortcuts above to step through your edit history.

Live Preview

The right panel shows a live preview of your website. The preview updates in real time as you make changes. You can also open your website in a new browser tab for a full-screen preview.

Warning

If you have unsaved changes and try to navigate away from the editor, a confirmation dialog will appear asking if you want to discard your changes. Always check the save status before leaving.

Custom CSS

For advanced users, the editor includes a custom CSS panel where you can add your own CSS rules. This is useful for fine-tuning specific elements beyond what the visual controls offer.

Tip

Custom CSS is injected after the theme styles, so your rules take precedence. Use browser developer tools to identify the CSS selectors you need to target.
