Basic Editing Concepts


If you’re brand new to website editing, don’t worry—this quick overview will show you how everything works. At DycusDigital.com, we use a visual drag-and-drop editor that makes it easy to build a website without writing code.


1. Drag, Drop, Done.

Building your site starts with adding elements like text boxes, images, buttons, or videos. You just drag them onto the page, place them where you want, and then click the attached toolbar to customize their style and settings. It’s that easy.


2. Your Website is Built in Layers.

Think of your page as made up of sections—also called strips or columns. These sections give your layout structure. Inside each section, you can add and group stylistic elements like:

  • Text
  • Buttons
  • Images
  • Icons
  • Dividers
  • Boxes (great for grouping other elements)

This structure makes it much easier to create a clean design—and just as importantly, it helps your site look great on mobile devices.


3. Smart Tools for Speed and Precision.

As you build, you’ll find helpful tools to speed up your workflow, like:

  • Alignment Guides: Snap elements into place with pixel-perfect accuracy.
  • Duplication: Copy anything instantly to reuse layouts or styles.
  • Default Text Styles: Set your preferred fonts and colors once, and reuse them across your site.

We’ll cover these tools in more detail in the next help doc, but know that they’re all here to help you work faster and stay consistent.
