How to change the menu or footer text on your hotel website
Easily update global navigation elements
Key points • The menu and footer are generally global elements • Text can be edited directly in the Editor • Some areas require updating via symbols or components • A change affects all pages of the site
The menu and footer are essential elements for guiding your visitors, showcasing your establishment, and facilitating navigation. On a hotel website, these areas are often shared across multiple pages, meaning that a change must be made in one place to be applied everywhere.
Here's how to update their texts correctly and safely.
Understanding how the global elements function
On most websites, the menu (header) and footer are configured as: • Globalized symbols or components • Elements automatically reused across all pages This means that: • You only edit the text once • The update is applied immediately to the entire site • No risk of inconsistent or forgotten pages
Edit the text from the Editor
Good news: you can update the menu and footer texts without going through the Designer.
Procedure :
- Open your published website.
- Click on Login to access the Editor.
- Hover over the menu or footer.
- Click on Edit as soon as it appears.
- Edit the text directly in the relevant area.
- Click Publish to apply the changes.
💡 Tip: Carefully check the links associated with menu items, especially if they are key pages like “Rooms”, “Restaurant”, “Book”, etc.
Edit a link in the menu or footer
If you wish to change not only the text but also the link:
- Select the modified item.
- Click on the link icon.
- Choose an internal page or paste an external URL.
- Enable "Open in new tab" for external links if necessary.
If the area cannot be modified from the Editor
In some sites, the menu or footer may contain: • Buttons • Dynamic elements • Locked blocks to prevent errors In this case, only Designer access allows structural modification, but the text remains editable if the Editor allows it.
If you do not see the Edit button: • You may not have the necessary Editor rights • The element is locked by the designer • Access must be enabled by the site administrator 💡 Contact the technical team if you need to unlock a specific area.
Check the impact on responsiveness
Once the change is made: • Test on a computer • Test on a mobile device • Test on a tablet Some longer texts may: • Wrap to a new line • Overflow on mobile devices • Misalign elements
Adapt the text so that it remains legible on all screen sizes.
Publish and verify the update
After making changes: • Click Publish in the top right corner • Refresh the page in private browsing mode • Check several pages to ensure consistency
💡 Since the menu and footer are global elements, a simple post updates the entire site immediately.
Conclusion
Editing the text in your hotel website's menu or footer is quick and easy with the Editor. In just a few clicks, you can update titles, links, and labels without using the Designer. By ensuring mobile consistency and relevant links, you guarantee clear navigation, essential for guiding your visitors toward booking.
