Homepage builder: How to add images and media

To change an image

Just find an image on your page that you want to replace and move the mouse over it. It should be highlighted. Click on it to open the image settings.

On the left side the Image Settings menu appears where you can customize this image, add a custom title and alt tag, open it in the Image Editor or replace it with another image from your file library.

To open an image for editing

Just find an image on your page that you want to replace and move the mouse over it. It should be highlighted. Click on it to open the image settings.

On the left side the Image Settings menu appears where you can customize this image, add a custom title and alt tag, replace it with another image from your file library or open it in the Image Editor.

When you move the mouse over an editable image, it is highlighted. Click on the highlighted image and a new Toolbox window appears.

Here you can change the image or update it with filters, but at the bottom the "This is a link" button should be available. Click there, enter the URL address and save the changes - your image will be a link now.

When you enter the URL of a YouTube movie, the video opens in a good-looking lightbox.

To add an image

To add an image, add a new content block that contains an image. Click the "Add" button in the left toolbar and a new menu appears. Content blocks are divided into categories here. If you want the image to fill 100 % of the screen, go to the "Objects" category and search for the image there.

In most other categories, content blocks contain images in many interesting layouts (image on the side of the content, above the feature list, etc.).

Once the image is added, you can also make it a clickable link: Click your image and the options menu appears on the left, where you can apply filters or point it to another page.

You may also want to add images as a photo gallery module. Click the "Add" button in the left toolbar. There you will open the "Apps" category and the Photo Gallery will appear in the list of available modules.

To add a video

Click on in the left toolbar:

CONTENT > Apps > Video

You can copy/paste your YouTube video address and the video will be displayed on your website.

Why YouTube? You can upload your videos there and easily embed them on your page (or pages). You don't have to worry about the technical side of your video (like the file format), because YouTube automatically converts it to the web format and makes sure that the video does look great.

By default, your YouTube video is full width. You may want to add a column content block and drag it to one of the columns.

Another option is to use any image on your page and create a link from it, using your YouTube video as the URL: This will automatically create a pretty "Play" icon that, when clicked, will open the video in a lightbox.

To add a music file

You can add audio files to your website. Use the left toolbar > CONTENT > APPS > Audio Player. You will be prompted to provide your audio file and add it to the subpage content with sample description and image - you can easily change or remove them.

You can manually adjust the "audio" tag if needed and add looping or autoplay features: Open the content block settings and switch to HTML mode, look for the audio tag. It may look like this:
