By the end you can

  • Save your editor link to your own WhatsApp
  • Move between steps and switch between editing and preview
  • Get help from inside the editor

Steps

  1. 1

    Open the editor panel

    On: Editor

    Tap Start customising. The editor panel slides up over the lower part of your website.

    You should see: Step 1, with a box titled "Come back any time".

  2. 2

    Save your link

    On: Editor, step 1

    On the first step there is a box titled Come back any time. Tap Save link to my WhatsApp. WhatsApp opens with a message to yourself that contains your link. Send it.

    You should see: Your own WhatsApp chat now holds a message with your editor link.

  3. 3

    Read the top bar

    On: Editor

    The top shows Your sample website, the step you are on, such as "1 of 10", and a SAMPLE badge. The Help button opens WhatsApp to the agency. The link button copies your editor link.

    You should see: You can see which step you are on.

  4. 4

    Use the preview

    On: Editor

    Your real website shows above the editor panel, and what you type appears in it straight away. Drag the bar at the top of the panel up for more room to type, or down to see more of the website. Dragged right down, the panel closes; tap Edit to bring it back.

    You should see: The website above changes as you type.

  5. 5

    Move between steps

    On: Editor

    Tap Next to go forward and Back to go back. Skip leaves a step for later. You can go back to any step at any time. On the last step the button on the right reads Keep editing and takes you back to step 1.

    You should see: The step number at the top changes.

  6. 6

    Switch pages in the preview

    On: Editor

    When your website has more than one page, small buttons with the page names appear above the preview. Tap one to see that page.

    You should see: The preview shows the page you tapped.

  7. 7

    Trust the saving

    On: Editor

    Everything saves by itself. You will see "Saving…" and then Saved. You can close the page and come back with your link.

    You should see: "Saved" shows after you stop typing.

Tips

  • Anyone with your link can edit your website. Share your website address with customers, never your editor link.
  • On the phone you started on, the start page remembers you and shows Continue editing.

Troubleshooting

"Could not save — check your connection" appears.
Your internet dropped. Wait until it is back and change something small; it saves again.
You lost the link and are on a different phone.
Message the agency on WhatsApp with your business name. They can send your link again.
