Open Edit your website from the left menu, the Dashboard or Ctrl+K, see each change before it goes live, edit by hand, find past conversations, and learn about trial and monthly limits, Signature sites and beta feedback. # Edit Your Website > **Video walkthrough:** [Watch on Loom](#) *(link coming soon)* *** Tell Buddy what you'd like changed on your website, in your own words, and it makes the change for you, no web designer needed. You see every change in plain words before anything happens, with your real site right beside the chat, and you can undo any change. *** ## What You Can Do Here * Change your site by describing what you want in plain words * See every change before it happens, and undo it, even days later * Reword, hide or relink any heading, label or button * Change your colors, fonts, logo and menu, and the size and look of things like prices and buttons * Add a news bar, photos, pages, FAQs, reviews, blog posts, a live puppy cam or a map * Update puppy status and prices, dog bios and litter details, right on your records * Pick which form your Apply buttons open, and change its questions * Click any part of your site to edit it yourself, or retype words right on the page *** ## How It Works 1. In the left menu, under **Your Online Presence**, open **Website** and click [**Edit your website**](https://app.breederbuddy.com/website/editor). Your site opens in the middle of the page, with Buddy on the left. 2. Type what you'd like to change in the box at the bottom, like "Add a FAQ about how our deposits work." To send photos, click **Add photos** or drag them onto the chat. 3. Press **Enter**, or click **Send**. Buddy looks over your site. If it isn't sure what you mean, it asks one quick question with answers you can tap. 4. Buddy shows a **Changes to make** card with one plain line for each change. Nothing on your site has changed yet. 5. If the card has tick boxes (for example, to make a dog's profile public or mark puppies reserved), tick each one. **Make these changes** works once they're all ticked. 6. Click **Make these changes**. The card says **Live on your site**, and your site in the middle updates. Not ready? Click **Not now** instead. 7. Changed your mind later? Click **Undo** on the card, and the change comes off your site. Or just ask, like "undo the colors from Thursday." Not sure where to start? A new conversation shows a few ideas under **Try one of these**. Click one to put it in the message box, or click **More ideas** for others. You can also ask Buddy "what can you change on my site?" You'll see **Edit your website** in the menu once you have a website with BreederBuddy. Don't have one yet? See [Get a Breeder Website](https://breederbuddy.com/docs/features/website-marketing/get-website.md). ### Other Ways to Open It * **My Website:** click **Edit your website** at the top of [**My Website**](https://app.breederbuddy.com/website/builder). * **Your Dashboard:** click **Edit your website** on the **Your website** card. Or, in the Buddy box at the top of your [**Dashboard**](https://app.breederbuddy.com/), click one of the ideas next to **On your website**. The editor opens with that idea already sent. Click the arrows button next to the ideas for more. * **Buddy, anywhere in the app:** type a website change in the Buddy box on your Dashboard, or press **Ctrl+K** (**Cmd+K** on a Mac) on any page and ask. Buddy shows a **Make this change in your website editor** card. Click **Open the website editor**, and your request is already sent when it opens. ### Finding Your Way Around * **Ask Buddy** and **Edit by hand**, at the top of the left panel, switch between the chat and your site's fields. * The page menu at the top shows another page of your site: **Home**, **About**, **Parents**, **Litters**, **Pricing**, **FAQs**, **Reviews** or **Contact**. * The screen size buttons show how your site looks on a phone, tablet, laptop or wide screen. * **Live site**, at the top right, opens your real website in a new tab. * On a phone, the **Buddy**, **By hand** and **Your site** buttons at the top switch between the chat, the fields and your site. ### Pointing at What You Mean On a template site, Buddy can tell which part you mean: * Click any part of your site. A **Selected:** tag with its name shows above the message box, so Buddy knows which part you mean. Then type something like "make this bigger" and send it. Click the **X** on the tag to clear it. * On a computer, Buddy also sees which part of the page you're looking at and the words or photo your mouse last rested on. So "change this to ..." works without clicking. * Each line on the card says what's changing and where, so a wrong guess is easy to catch before you click **Make these changes**. ### Editing by Hand On a template site, you can also make changes yourself on the same page. 1. Click **Edit by hand** at the top of the left panel. 2. Click any part of your site, or pick it from the list under **On this page**. Its fields open beside your site. 3. Make your changes. You can also click words right on your site and retype them there. Click away when you're done, or press **Enter** at the end of a heading. **Esc** puts the words back. 4. Your edits save to a draft as you go, and the top of the page says **Changes not live yet**. 5. Click **Put changes live** when you're ready, or **Throw away** to drop your edits. Buddy's changes go live as soon as you click **Make these changes**, and they're copied into your draft too, so putting your draft live keeps them. To hand a part of your site to Buddy instead, click **Ask Buddy about this** above its fields. ### What Buddy Can Change Here's what Buddy can change on a template site. Ask the way you'd say it to a friend: | What | Try asking | | - | - | | Ideas for your site | "What can you do?" · "Give my site a checkup" · "What should I fix first?" | | Headings, labels and buttons | "Change Meet the Parents to Our Dogs" · "Hide that small line above the reviews" · "Point the Learn More button to my application" | | A news bar across the top | "Add a bar saying our spring litter is here, with a link to apply" · "Make the bar red" · "Take the bar down" | | Colors and fonts | "Make my site blue and gold" · "Use a fancier font for the headings" | | Your logo and tab icon | "Here's my new logo" (attach it) · "Use this as the little icon in the browser tab" · "Remove the white box around my logo" | | The size and look of one thing | "Make the logo bigger" · "Make the buttons rounder" · "Make the prices bigger and green" · "Put the review quotes in italics" · "Make the top photo fill 2/3 of the screen" | | A whole new look | "Give my whole site a dark, luxury look with gold accents" · "Give every button a gentle hover effect" · "Switch my site to the Coastal Beach template" | | Your menu | "Rename Parents to Our Dogs" · "Move Reviews after Litters" · "Take Pricing out of the menu" · "Add a link to my Etsy shop" · "Put Newfoundlands and Newfypoos under Parents" | | Photos | "Swap the top photo on my home page for this one" · "The puppy's head is cut off in the second gallery photo. Fix the crop." | | Pages, FAQs and reviews | "Build a page explaining our guardian program. Ask me whatever you need to know." · "Add a FAQ about how our waitlist and deposits work" · "Add this review from the Millers" | | Blog posts | "Write a post about our new litter" (attach photos) · "Fix the typo in my last post" · "Schedule this post for Friday" · "Unpublish the Christmas post" | | Your forms | "Make the Apply button open my waitlist form" · "Add a question asking if they have a fenced yard" · "Make the question about other pets required" · "Rename my application to Puppy Application" | | Groups of dogs and puppies | "Put our past litters on their own page with each puppy's photo, and make it clear they aren't available" · "Group my dogs by breed" · "Retired dogs on their own page" · "Show a strip of our previous puppies on the Puppies page" | | Dogs, puppies and litters | "Mark Daisy's puppies reserved" · "Bluebell is \$3,000" · "Update Luna's bio" · "Why isn't Bauer showing up?" · "Show the available puppies first" | | Videos, maps and more | "Add our YouTube live puppy cam to the home page" · "Show our Facebook page" · "Add a map to our place and a button to book a visit" | | Your home page | "Move our reviews right under the top photo" · "There's too much on my home page. What can I hide?" | | Going back | "Undo the colors from Thursday" · "Put my home page back the way it was last week" · "What did we change this month?" | Buddy only uses photos you send in the chat or ones already on your site, never stock photos. It uses your own words where it can, and it won't invent reviews, health claims, prices or dates. To collect more real reviews, see [Google Reviews & Referrals](https://breederbuddy.com/docs/features/website-marketing/reviews-referrals.md). ### Headings, Buttons and the News Bar * Buddy can change the words of any heading, small label or button your template shows, hide one, or point a button at another page or an outside link. This works on every template. * The news bar is one short line across the top of every page, with one link at most. It comes in your accent color, dark, light, or red for urgent news. Use it for news that's true right now, and ask Buddy to take it down when it isn't. * People call the big photo at the top of the home page "the banner" too. If Buddy can't tell which one you mean, it asks. ### Colors, Fonts and Your Logo * Buddy keeps your words easy to read. If a color would make text hard to read, it suggests a close shade that works. * Ask for "a fancier font" or "something more modern", and Buddy offers two or three to pick from. * For a new logo or tab icon, send the photo in the chat. Your logo is also your account logo, so it changes on your invoices and contracts too. * Switching to a different template changes your layout and sections, so the card asks you to confirm it first. * If your site wears a theme made just for your program (custom branding), its colors, fonts and menu are built into it, so Buddy sends those changes to Kenny instead. ### Your Menu * Buddy can rename, reorder, hide or show menu items, add your own links (your Etsy shop, your application) and group pages under a dropdown. Taking a page out of the menu keeps the page itself. * **Contact** is always the button at the end of the menu. * Extra pages sit in the **Info** dropdown until you ask Buddy to put them somewhere else. * A dropdown holds pages your site already has, one level deep. Dropdowns don't show on the **Field & Sport** and **Cattery** templates yet. ### Your Forms * Buddy can pick which form your **Apply** buttons and **Application** page open, put a form on your **Contact** page, add, reword or remove questions, make a question required, and rename a form. * Removing a question only stops asking it. Past answers stay on the applications you already have. You confirm removals on the card. * **First Name**, **Last Name**, **Email** and **Phone Number** stay as they are, because they're how an application becomes a contact. * Moving questions, "show this field only when..." rules, section breaks, the submit button and the form's color are done in the form builder, under [**Applications**](https://app.breederbuddy.com/applications). To make a brand new form, click **Add Application Form** there, then ask Buddy to put it on your site. ### Blog Posts * Buddy writes in your voice from what you tell it, and asks for facts like dates, names or how many puppies rather than guessing. * Send photos in the chat for the cover and the post. * Buddy makes a draft unless you say "publish it", "post it" or "schedule it for Friday". Drafts wait on the **Posts** tab of **My Website**. Publishing asks you to tick a Yes on the card. * Unpublishing keeps the post as a draft. To delete a post, use the **Posts** tab. ### Going Back to Earlier Changes Every change Buddy makes has an **Undo** button on its card. You can also just ask, in any conversation: 1. Type something like "undo the colors from Thursday" or "what did we change this month?" 2. Buddy finds the changes you mean and names them back to you. If a few could fit, it asks which. 3. A card lists each change it puts back. Click **Make these changes**. * If something was changed again since, that part stays as it is, and Buddy tells you first. * Click **Undo** on that card to bring the changes back. * This works for changes Buddy made. Edits you made by hand aren't kept this way, so ask Buddy to change those back directly. ### Your Dogs and Litters Come From Your Records Buddy never types a dog's details into a page. Your dogs, litters and puppies show on your site from your records, the same way they always do: * A dog or litter shows only when its record is **Public**. Buddy can make it public for you, and you tick the box on the card to confirm. * The **Parents** page lists dogs whose **Type** is **Active Breeding Dog** or **Retired**. A **Pet / Other** dog never lists there. Buddy can change a dog's type, and you confirm that on the card too. * Puppies show through their litter, so the litter has to be public as well. * Archived dogs and litters stay off your site. Buddy can also change these on your records for you: a dog's or puppy's bio, call name, registered name and color, a puppy's status (**Available**, **Reserved**, **Retained** or **Sold**) and price, and a litter's name and description. The change shows in the app too, and you confirm status and price changes on the card. * Prices show on your site only when prices are switched on for puppies or dogs. Buddy can switch them on in the same change. * Marking a puppy **Reserved** doesn't add the buyer. To link the buyer, use **Reserve for a buyer** on the puppy's card in the app. * A litter's status and dates, a dog's photos, sex and breed, and archiving are still done in the app. Ask "Why isn't Bauer showing?" and Buddy tells you why, then offers a fix. To change these yourself, use [**Content Manager**](https://app.breederbuddy.com/display). See [Your Website & Online Presence](https://breederbuddy.com/docs/getting-started/your-website.md) for more on what shows. ### What Goes to Kenny Most changes go live the moment you click **Make these changes**. Two kinds go to Kenny, our founder, instead: * **Jobs that need new code**, like a brand new kind of section. Buddy writes these up as a **Request for Kenny**. The card says **Sent to Kenny**, your list says **With Kenny**, and the card changes to **Kenny did this** when it's done. * **Changes that get a quick check first**: links that look risky (like shortened links, file downloads or look-alike payment pages) and very big changes made all at once. The card says **Kenny reviews changes like this first**, and its button says **Send to Kenny**. You'll see **Waiting for Kenny's review**, then **Approved and live**, or **Kenny declined this** with his note. Ordinary links, like your vet, your breed club or your social pages, go live like any other change. ### Your Conversations * Click **History** at the top of the chat to see **Your conversations**, grouped into **Today**, **Yesterday**, **This week** and **Earlier**. Click one to open it. * Click **New** to start a fresh conversation. * Come back within a couple of hours and Buddy reopens the conversation you were in. After that you start fresh, and your recent conversations show under **Pick up where you left off**, along with anything still to do. * Sent a list of changes in one message? Buddy splits it into **Your list** at the top of the chat and marks each one **To do**, **Question for you**, **Ready to review**, **Done**, **With Kenny** or **Can't do this yet**. * Give Buddy a rule for your site, like "never put photos of my kids on the site," and it sticks to it in future conversations too. ### Custom-Built (Signature) Sites If BreederBuddy built your site by hand, **Edit your website** shows Buddy and your live site, without **Edit by hand**. * Buddy can change the words and photos your site was built to let you change, and which dogs and litters show. * After you click **Make these changes**, your site rebuilds with the change. It's usually live in a minute or two. While it rebuilds, you can switch between **Live site** and **Preview of the changes** above your site. * To undo a change, ask Buddy to put it back. It can see the old wording. * Buddy can also write and fix blog posts, add or change the questions on your forms, and update dog, puppy and litter details, the same as on a template site. * The menu, colors, fonts and which form your buttons open are part of your site's own code, so Buddy sends those to Kenny as a request. * Anything else goes to Kenny as a request. ### Trials and Monthly Limits * **On a trial**, you get a small taste: a few changes and a set number of messages. Each click of **Make these changes** counts as one change, even when the card lists a few edits. Undoing a change doesn't give it back, but asking Buddy to go back to an earlier change doesn't use one up. When your changes are used up, the chat shows an **Upgrade** button. * **What a trial covers:** everyday changes like wording, headings and buttons, the news bar, colors and fonts, the size and look of things like prices and buttons, photos, pages, FAQs, reviews, your menu, forms, blog posts, home page sections, and your dogs and litters. Custom styling (like hover effects, animations or a whole new look), videos, live cams, maps and booking pages, and requests for Kenny are part of Pro. * **On Pro**, Buddy can do everything above, plus give your whole site a new look. Your website changes come from a monthly allowance. Buddy lets you know when you're getting close, and it starts fresh on the 1st of each month. * **On Signature**, Buddy can also redesign the layout itself and take on truly custom work, so your site looks like a brand new custom site, and the monthly allowance is bigger. * **On Standard**, editing your website with Buddy isn't included, and the chat shows an **Upgrade** button. ### Beta and Sharing Feedback **Edit your website** is new, so it carries a **Beta** badge. It's still improving, and Kenny reads every note. 1. Click **Share feedback** at the top of the page, or the **share feedback** link when you start a new conversation. 2. Pick **Loving it**, **Could be better**, **Something went wrong** or **I have an idea**, and add a few words if you like. 3. Click **Send to Kenny**. Your note goes to him along with the conversation you were in, so he can see what happened. *** ## Key Terms | Term | What It Means | | - | - | | **Changes to make** card | Buddy's plan, with one plain line per change. Nothing happens until you click **Make these changes**. | | News bar | One short line of news across the top of every page of your site, like "Our spring litter is here." | | Draft | Edits you make by hand. They're saved, but stay off your live site until you click **Put changes live**. | | **Your list** | The checklist at the top of the chat, with one line for each thing you asked for. | | **Request for Kenny** | A job that needs new code. Buddy writes it up and sends it to Kenny. | | Custom-built site | A Signature site designed and built by hand for your program, instead of a template. | *** ## Tips & Common Questions > **Will Buddy change my site without asking me?** > > No. Buddy only suggests changes. Nothing on your site changes until you click **Make these changes**, and you can click **Undo** afterward, or ask Buddy to go back later. Edits you make by hand wait in your draft until you click **Put changes live**. > **If Buddy changes a puppy's price or status, does it change in the app too?** > > Yes. Prices, sale status, bios and litter descriptions live on your records, so Buddy changes the record itself. Your site and the app always match. Click **Undo** on the card to put the old value back. > **Can Buddy completely redesign my site?** > > On Pro, Buddy can give your whole site a new look: colors, fonts, sizes, spacing, borders, shadows, hover effects and gentle animations. Changing the layout itself, so your site looks like a brand new custom site instead of its template, is a Signature redesign. If you ask for one on Pro, Buddy tells you so and offers the new look instead. > **My photo won't attach. What's wrong?** > > Websites need JPG, PNG or WebP photos. iPhone photos are often HEIC, which websites can't show. Convert them first, or on your iPhone go to **Settings** > **Camera** > **Formats** and choose **Most Compatible** for new photos. You can add up to 6 photos to one message. > **Can Buddy edit my WordPress site?** > > No. Buddy edits websites BreederBuddy hosts: template sites and custom-built Signature sites. If your site is on WordPress, ask Kenny about moving it to BreederBuddy, and then Buddy can make your changes. *** ## Still Have Questions? We're here to help.
