Editing texts and webpages
The Content Management System or CMS allows you to create and update web pages yourself.
CMS can be found in the Management menu.
At the top you can see the languages in which your shop is available. Choose the language in which you want to edit your website.
You will see the list of the pages that your shop contains. The first five pages are standard pages.
Click the Edit icon to update a page.
Drag the move icon to change the order of the pages or to create sub pages.
Click the delete icon to remove the text on a page.
Click the display icon to display or to hide a page.
Updating a page
Respect copyrights: do not copy texts or photos without permission of the author.
After selecting the page, you will see the interface for editing the page.
- Navigation
- This allows you to customize the text that is displayed on the navigation buttons. For example, you can change Shop to Catalog.
- Title
- This is the title that is visible in the title bar at the top of your browser window when visiting your shop. Choose an appropriate title for each page, this will be indexed in search engines. Don't use the same title from other pages, this will negatively influence your search engine ranking.
- META Description
- Enter a brief description of the page. This is displayed on the result pages of search engines. Don't copy the same text from other pages, this will negatively influence your search engine ranking.
- Web address
- This allows you to personalize the web address for this page.
More information about META tags can be found in the section search engine optimization.
Your shop is 100% optimized for the best results in search engines. By using clear descriptions and keywords in your texts and products, you will get better results in search engines.
Below the META fields you see a text editor in which you can enter text or a welcome message. The content management system works similar as the word processing program on your computer.
Never copy text from Microsoft Word directly into the HTML editor. This will cause layout problems because of the internal HTML codes that Microsoft Word uses.
If you want to copy text from Word, you can copy first into Notepad, and then to your website. 
- Header
- The header is the text above the content that is displayed on the website.
- Footer
- The footer is the text below the content that is displayed on the website. Not all pages have default content, hence they do not all have a footer.
Remember to always save your text by clicking Save. Save your text regularly to avoid loss of data, for example caused by a session timeout.
Formatting website tips
- Avoid different fonts and colors, even on different pages. Consistency is important for your website.
- Avoid language errors, excessive usage of capital letters and excessive use of punctuation. This is very unprofessional.

Possible Problems
- There are weird characters between my texts
- Usually this is because the texts are copied from Microsoft Word. There is a lot of markup between the text, and this can disrupt the layout or cause inconsistency.
Copy the text first to Notepad and then copy the text from Notepad to the content management system.
