The Tilda admin panel
What the client can change on their own, which actions need care and how to publish updates safely on a finished site.
Tilda lets you update a small site without constant developer involvement. Content can be changed right on the page or through block settings. But how freely it can be edited depends on how the site was built.
Pages organise the site structure
The project shows all pages, their settings and publication status. This is where you create a new page, copy an existing one and set its URL.
For typical materials, it is better to duplicate a prepared template. That keeps the fonts, spacing and required elements.
Standard blocks are easier to edit
Text and images are changed via the Content button or directly on the page. Settings control the block's appearance and behaviour.
If you only need to update information, leave the design parameters alone. An accidental change of width or spacing can affect every device.
Zero Block: freer design, narrower editing limits
In Zero Block, elements are tuned for different screen widths. Replacing short text with long text can break the composition on a phone.
It is safe to change content within the agreed length. Adding elements, rebuilding a scene and animation are better left to a specialist.
Preview doesn't replace checking the site
Before publishing, open the preview, then check the published page on a computer and a phone. Pay special attention to forms, links and image cropping.
Changes are saved in the editor, but visitors see them only after the page or the whole site is published.
Global settings change the whole project
Fonts, colours, the domain, analytics and connected services apply to the entire site. Don't change them for the sake of one page without checking the consequences.
Before a technical edit, write down the current value or refer to the project instructions.
What the instructions should include
After handover, the client needs short how-tos: how to replace text, add a templated page, publish a change and check an enquiry. Actions that need a developer are listed separately.
A good admin panel does not turn the client into a designer. It lets them keep content up to date quickly without risking a site that is already set up.
