Editing your own site, properly explained
This is the full version of how you change your own fleetpages site: every gesture, every lane, and what happens after you send. The short version: point at the thing, say what you want, and nothing goes live until you approve it. There is no admin panel, no sidebar and no settings screen to learn.
One button, three tabs
On your own site you get a small round button in the bottom-right corner. It opens a panel with three tabs. Today is what needs you right now: changes built and waiting for your yes, and any question that would move things along. Changes is what you have asked for and where each one stands. Chat is a plain conversation with your Manager, for anything that is not a tidy point-at-it edit, and its message box has a Speak button when typing is the slow way.
The top row of the panel is the door onto the page itself: ✎ Change something on this page. Press it, then click the thing you mean.
Point at exactly what you mean
Once you are pointing, clicking anything opens a small card about that exact thing. On a computer, right-clicking anything on your page opens the same card without pressing the button first. On a phone, press and hold a photo or a block to get the card; words are reached by tapping once you are pointing.
The card opens on the thing you clicked, and carries a stepper to widen or narrow what it is about: this line, the card holding it, the whole section. Each step names what it acts on by quoting your own page back at you, so you always know what you are about to change.
The quickest lane of all: double-click any words (double-tap on a phone) and they become editable right where they sit. Retype them, and your exact wording is kept, letter for letter.
The card already knows what it's looking at
The card's first offer matches the thing you pointed at, in its own words. A box to describe the change in your own words is always there too, so when the offered verb is not what you mean, your words are.
✎ Words: type over them
Headings, paragraphs, list lines, buttons: the words become editable in place and what you type is exactly what is kept. Your Manager sees the before and the after, so you never have to describe where the words were.
📷 Photos: swap this photo
Pick a replacement from your phone or computer and the page shows the swap immediately, so you can see whether it works in place. Full-size phone photos are fine; they are resized automatically. Your logo gets its own version of the same offer.
📚 Sets: a small editor of their own
Point at one of a set, service cards, staff, a photo gallery, and the card becomes a little editor for the whole set: remove one (and put it back if you change your mind), add another matching one, drag them into a new order.
🔗 Links, buttons, menus, forms
A link offers to change where it goes. A button offers its label, destination and colour. A menu item opens the menu editor. A form offers to change its fields.
💵 Facts: type the new one
A phone number, an email, a price, a map: the card recognises them and asks for the new value straight out, so changing your number is typing your number.
🎨 Looks: size and colour
Headings and buttons carry small taps for size and colour, drawn from your site's own palette, so a tweak stays inside your branding instead of fighting it.
What you are offered is decided by your page rather than by guesswork. Anything with words or a picture can be changed or removed, and “add another” appears only where a set already exists, because copying a pattern needs a pattern to copy.
Asking for something that does not exist yet
Widen the card's stepper to the section and you can ask for a new one after it, described in your own words. Sketch it draws the idea on the spot, styled to match your site rather than pixel-exact, so you can see it in place and say “yes, like that” or “no, more like this”.
A sketch is only ever a sketch: nothing is built and nothing is published. Where it would need a fact it has not got, a price, a suburb, a guarantee, it writes [you tell me] rather than inventing one. Those blanks are the useful part, because they are exactly the list of things your Manager will need from you.
Questions, then a preview, then your yes
Sent changes appear on the Changes tab while the work happens. When an ask could reasonably go two ways, your Manager asks rather than guessing: the question arrives as a card with the likely answers as buttons, a way to leave it to them, and a line to answer in your own words. You are never limited to the buttons.
When a change is built, Today says so and counts what is waiting. See it first opens the preview on the page that actually changed, not the front door. Approve it and it goes live; decline it and it is gone, with nothing half-applied. Nothing you do on the page changes the live site. Every gesture is a request that comes back as a preview you approve, and that is the whole safety model.
The questions owners actually ask
Did I just change my live site?
No. Retypes and photo swaps you see are previews of what you mean. Everything builds on a private copy first, and goes live only when you approve it.
Do I have to finish in one sitting?
No. Close the card, browse your site, come back. A half-written thought is kept where you left it, and the Changes tab holds everything already sent.
Can I talk instead of type?
The Chat tab's message box has a 🎤 Speak button. Wherever speaking is offered, your words land as text you can glance over before anything is sent.
Will I be asked follow-up questions?
Sometimes, and that is a feature: when an ask could go two ways, your Manager asks rather than guessing. Buttons for the likely answers, your own words always accepted, and a way past every question if you would rather leave it to them.
Prefer email or chat?
Same result, different doors. Email your site's edit address or chat from your dashboard: every kind of change, with examples.
What if I change my mind?
Decline the preview and it is discarded whole. Already approved? Ask for it to be put back the way it was; your site's history is kept.
