Fresh content is not only important for keeping your website visitors engaged but it is also a critical step to getting your website listed in the search engines. Typically, the best websites are updated on a regular basis and contain a lot of relevant subject content and therefore tend to appear near the top of search results. Adding text to your website is easy with our Website Builder Tool.
Begin by opening a page in the Website Builder Tool where you would like to add or edit text and click the Page Editor tab. You can type your text into one of the content blocks that appear on the page or click the New Text icon in the top panel and drag and drop it to the desired area on the page to insert copy.

Use the inline editor to make quick changes to your text format, including:

- Aligning the text to the left, right or center or making it appear justified on the page
- Creating a hyperlink to a page on your site, another website, an email address or a file stored somewhere on your site.
Make sure to click Save once you are done entering and editing text. To close the inline editor, simply click anywhere on the page outside the text area.
