OverviewWild Apricot has two types of pages: 'content' pages (the main topic of this article) and 'functional' pages - things like Member application form, event registration form, member directory etc. Functional Page LimitationThe content and layout of these Functional Pages can't be edit as much as content pages but you can insert some text above the functional item of that page. For example you could add formatted text and pictures on top of a membership application but not under it. Also you can't edit the individual elements of a functional page (i.e, fields on a membership application) from 'Web pages' - instead these must be adjusted from the settings that controls those options (i.e, Settings> Membership > Membership Fields ). Getting StartedTo start editing a page, login into your Wild Apricot account, go to Web Pages section and click on the page in the left-side menu; then click on [Edit] button in the toolbar:

Text stylesOne other - very important button - allows you to select text styles: Of course, with the formatting options discussed above you can make your text look any way you want - as nice or as funky as desired However, to look clean, polished and professional it is recommended to use as few text embellishments as possible - and use text styles instead. Text styles provide a basic set of uniform text styles with colors matching your selected Visual look and feel. With styles you will not end up with purple headings on one page and red ones on another. You can change these standard styles via CSS customization and point and click Customization* Spell checkerSpell checker button will help you to ensure your webpages look professional:
