  • You will see your account appear as 'Manager' in the Team Members
2) I've forgotten my password, what should I do?
  • Go to the login page and use the 'recover password' by email option - entering the same email that the Brizy email was sent to.
3) How do I edit a page? ▶️

Once you are logged in, select your project by clicking 'Edit Project' (as below)

After this you will see a hamburger menu option ( ☰ ) in the top right. Click this and a menu will appear showing pages (as below).

Click on the pencil across from the page you want to edit to load the page builder.

To edit a part of the page, simply hover over it and click on the part you would like to edit. The video below shows examples on how to do this.

4) How do I duplicate (copy and paste) and move an element - to add another link etc? ▶️
  • Click once on the element you wish to duplicate and the black element bar will appear.
  • Click on the icon that looks like 2 cards as below (it will turn blue when you hover)
  • If the element is not where you would like it, drag it to the correct position. You can use the up and down keys on your keyboard to move the element.

  • Choose 'Page' for another site page.

6) I want to change or add new images to my pages - what are the steps? ▶️
  • After selecting an copyright free image you have taken or from a resource such as Unsplash - you need to optimise it.
  • This means if you don't have Photoshop to compress the image you'll need to upload it to a free compression site like Optimzilla
  • Web images need to be small file sizes for fast download. Uploading full quality images may reduce your SEO score.
  • ▶️ Once you have your compressed image ready, ensure you know the essentials of adding images to Brizy page with the video below.
7) I want to add a video or embed content from elsewhere - how do I do this? ▶️
  • To embed a YouTube/Vimeo video click the + button on the left and drag the video element to where you'd like it on the page. After this paste in the URL to the element.
  • ▶️ To embed other sources follow this video tutorial below.
8) I want to change the font size across the whole site for different styles - what's the best way? ▶️
  • In nearly all cases it is best to work with the global styles for your site for both consistency and manageability.
  • ▶️ The below video explains how.
9) I want to adjust the position or space between elements, how do I use 'margin' and padding'? ▶️
  • You can drag the width of page elements - specifically for each device: desktop, tablet and mobile.
  • Using margin and padding you can space elements in a way that gives the page 'room to breathe'.
  • After adjusting your element, check how it looks in another device using the device switcher (see final question)
  • ▶️ The below video explains how.
10) I want to change the menu - how do I do this? ▶️
  • With Brizy you can create a main site menu and custom menus.
  • The same link can appear in multiple menus, should you wish it to.
  • You can also create 'Custom links' to external websites
  • ▶️ The below video explains how.
11) The top part of the page ('header') and the bottom part ('footer') are Global Blocks - what does this mean? ▶️
  • Global Blocks are parts of a page you would like to stay the same across the whole site.
  • In addition if you create a new page they will appear automatically.
  • The most common parts of the page which are 'Global Blocks' are:
  • The 'Header' - the top part of the page, usually with the logo and main site menu
  • The 'Footer' - the bottom part of the page, usually with copyright, social links and contact/legal details
  • You can edit these parts of the page exactly the same as any other element - but note the changes will apply to all pages using that Global Block.
  • ▶️ If you want a Global Block to only appear on certain pages you can apply 'rules', the below video explains now.
12) I've finished editing, how do I preview, save or publish my page? ▶️
  • NOTE: It is strongly recommended to a) adjust for different devices and b) preview before clicking the 'update' (publish) button.

a) Device switcher - test for different devices

At the bottom left of the page, you can page looks on different devices. You may find it useful to adust the margins and padding for each device.

b) Preview your page

At the bottom left of the page you will see a small black bar. You can preview your page (recommended) before publishing by pressing the icon with the diagonal arrow.

c) Update (Publish) or Save Draft

The blue button gives you the options to 'Update' (publish to the web) or if you click the arrow 'Save as Draft' (changes won't be published yet).
