How do I change a photo, my hours or a section on my website?

October 27, 2026 · 7 min read

Short answer: in Wix, Squarespace or GoDaddy, you open the editor, click the thing you want to change, and use its replace, move or delete control, then press Publish. The click is the easy part. The catch is everything around it: the new photo gets cut off on phones, the hours also live in the footer and on Google, and the old holiday banner is a site-wide setting nobody remembers. Here are the changes owners ask for most, and what to watch in each one.

Swap a photo

This is the change owners ask for more than any other: a better job photo, a new team picture, a real photo where a stock one used to be. In a page builder, select the image and choose the option to change or replace it, then upload the new one.

• Use your own work. A real photo of a real job beats any stock photo. If a stock photo stays, never caption it as your own work.
• Shrink big phone photos first. A photo straight off a modern phone can be several megabytes, which slows the page on cellular. About 2,000 pixels wide is plenty for the top of a page.
• Say what's in it. Fill in the image's description (alt text) with a plain sentence, like "Repainted Cape Cod house in Towson, white trim". It helps people using screen readers and helps search engines understand the page.

"The photo at the top is cut off on my phone"

The top photo usually fills a wide box on a computer and a tall, narrow box on a phone, so a photo that looks great on your laptop loses the sides on mobile, often right where the house or the van is. Two fixes: choose a photo with the subject in the middle and room around it, or set the photo's focal point if your builder offers one. Then look at it on your own phone, not just the editor's phone preview.

Change your hours, everywhere they show

Hours almost never live in just one place. Before you call it done, check:

1. The footer, which is on every page.
2. The contact page.
3. Any bar across the top of the site.
4. The hidden business information some sites carry for Google (ask whoever built the site, or your builder's SEO settings).
5. Off the site: your Google Business Profile, Facebook page and Yelp listing.

Mismatched hours are one of the quickest ways to lose a customer, because the one who drives over at 4:30 on a Saturday doesn't come back. The same goes for a new phone number or a changed service area: search every page for the old one.

Move a section up, or take one out

Owners usually want the reviews higher, the services list earlier, or a section about a service they no longer offer gone. In most builders, you select the section in the editor and use its move up, move down or delete controls. Two things to check: some builders let a section sit in a different spot on mobile, so look on a phone, and deleting a section sometimes leaves a menu link pointing at it.

Take down the old banner

That "Spring special - 15% off" strip across the top in October tells visitors nobody is minding the site. In Squarespace and some other builders, the announcement bar is a site-wide setting rather than part of a page, which is why it's hard to find. Look in the site's settings or design menu rather than on the page itself. Better yet, when you put up a dated offer, put the date it ends on your calendar too.

Change a price

If your site lists prices, they live in more places than you think: the services page, a pricing table, a promo banner, sometimes a PDF menu or brochure linked from the site. Change them all at once. Whether to list prices at all is its own question; see should I put prices on my website? and what "prices subject to change" really covers.

Or just say what you want changed

Every change above takes a few minutes if you remember where the setting lives, and an evening if you don't. That is why more owners now make changes by describing them. On RunCabin, a site's owner can do that two ways:

• In RunCabin's AI builder. Describe the change in plain English and it updates your site.
• From your own AI assistant. If you use Claude or ChatGPT, connect it to your RunCabin site once, then ask it for the change in the same chat you use for everything else.

Here is what those requests look like, in the words owners actually use:

• "Send me a link for photos from my phone, then put the best one of the deck job at the top."
• "Change our hours to 7 to 3, Tuesday through Saturday, everywhere they show on the site."
• "Move the reviews section up under services and take the banner off the top."
• "Change the drywall repair price to start at $250."
• "I'm done with changes. Publish it and send me the link."

The change goes live at the same address, and the previous version is kept, so "put it back the way it was" works too. You still want to look at the result on your phone, the same as with any editor.

If you'd rather someone set it all up for you

RunCabin's done-for-you websites start from your answers to our questionnaire. We build the site with AI so it's fast, then a web developer finishes every page, and you'll see your first version within 24 hours of sending your answers and photos. Once it's live, you change it by describing what you want, or by emailing us what you'd like changed. It starts at $499 to build, then $39.99 a month for hosting (or $479.88 a year), on your own domain, with a quote form that goes straight to your inbox.
