It is also recommended that you do not use more than three different font types for your website, as you want to make it consistent and easy to navigate. Creating a website with lots of different fonts will only confuse your audience and distract them from the content!

5 Adding and changing web-pages: Click on the Site Menu button on the left-hand side; from the menu that appears you will be able to add, delete and edit pages. For example, you could add one page per element of culture OR you could add one blog post per element of culture.

6.2 Select the Upload Images button in the top right-hand corner. You will need to search for the image

that you want to upload, once you have found it, select it and begin the upload. After the upload is complete, you can begin editing the position and size so that it fits perfectly within your website.
