Adding text to your website

When building your site in ProSite, you can add text in two ways: drag on a brand-new text element, or duplicate an existing one to reuse its styling. Both approaches are covered below.

Dragging on a new text element

1. Hover over the Text element in the element panel, then drag and drop it to where you want it to appear on the page. A range of text options will appear - choose the one most appropriate.

2. The text box is inserted at the position you selected.

3. Click the Edit Text button to open the text editor.

   

4. Replace the sample text with your own wording. Use the toolbar above to adjust the style, alignment, colour, and other options as needed.

   

5. You can also apply a saved text style from the Styles list. Text styles let you enforce consistent formatting across your whole site. To use a different font, you will need to configure it in the Styles settings - click the pencil icon next to the styles list from within the Edit Text screen.

   

6. The Styles settings let you define text styles once and reuse them anywhere on your site. If you update a style here, every text element using that style will update automatically.

   

Duplicating an existing text element

If you have already styled a text element, duplicating it is often quicker than inserting a new one from scratch.

1. Select the text element you want to duplicate, then right-click and choose Duplicate.
2. Drag the duplicated element to the position you want it.
3. Click into the element and update the wording as required.
