How to Edit a Website in Hostinger

Hey everyone, welcome to Ben’s Experience! In this guide, I’ll show you how to edit your website on Hostinger using their intuitive website builder. Whether you’re new to website building or looking to refine your site, these tips will help you customize your site with ease.

Editing the Website Header

First, navigate to the header section of your website. Click on the header, then select ‘Edit Header.’ Here, you can adjust various settings such as link spacing, top and bottom spacing, and the placement of header elements. For example, you might want to center your logo or decide whether to make your header sticky. You can also choose to show or hide elements like the logo, social icons, and buttons.

Replacing and Adjusting the Logo

To replace your website’s logo, go to the ‘Logo’ tab. You can upload a new logo from your computer and adjust its width. This allows you to maintain a consistent and professional look across your website.

Customizing the Header Style

The ‘Style’ tab offers numerous customization options. You can make your header transparent, change the text font to bold, or adjust the header text color. For instance, you might want the navigation text to be blue or keep it black for a classic look.

Editing the Homepage

Let’s move on to editing your homepage. Click on the section you want to edit, then select ‘Edit Section.’ For the background, you can choose between a video, image, or color. Hostinger provides options to use already uploaded media, generate new images with AI, or select free images from Unsplash. Adjust the overlay opacity and choose a fixed background to enhance the visual appeal.

Customizing Text and Buttons

Double-click on any text to edit it. You can link text to a page on your blog or website, and customize buttons to direct users to specific sections, email addresses, phone numbers, or files. Change button styles by adjusting text size, fill color, and border settings.

Managing Social Icons and Sticky Bars

To edit social icons, select them from the list. You can change their placement, order, size, and color. Adding a sticky bar is straightforward: hover over the header section, click ‘Add Sticky Bar,’ and customize the text and links. This feature is great for promoting newsletters or special offers.

Updating Blog Post Sections

For blog sections, you can easily switch to a three-column layout to display more posts. Hide preview texts and other elements you don’t need. Add a new section and use text elements to highlight ‘Latest Posts.’

Creating a Contact Section

Transform any section into a contact form by editing text and form fields. Rename fields, make them required, and customize the button text to ‘Send Your Message.’

Editing the Footer

In the footer, you can edit your blog name and social icons links. Change the footer background color and add links to legal pages like Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy. Ensure these pages are linked correctly by updating the navigation settings.

Adding a Favicon

To add a favicon, go to ‘Website Settings,’ then ‘General Settings.’ Upload your favicon image from your computer. A simple tool like favicon.io can help you create a favicon quickly.

By following these steps, you can fully customize your Hostinger website, ensuring it looks professional and meets your needs. Always remember to save your changes and update your website regularly.

Happy editing!
