How to replace an existing image

1. Open the page in WordPress (go to Pages, click the page name)
2. Click the image you want to replace
3. Click Replace in the toolbar that appears above it
4. Click Upload to choose a photo from your device, or Media Library to pick one you've already uploaded
5. Click Select, then click Update to save

How to add a new image to a page

2. Click the + icon where you want the image to appear
3. Choose Image from the list of blocks
4. Click Upload to choose a photo from your device

Image tips

• Hero images (the big banner at the top): use landscape photos at least 1200px wide
• Service/product images: aim for square or landscape, at least 800px wide
• Keep files under 2MB for fast loading — most phone photos are larger than needed, so resize before uploading if possible
• Add alt text when you upload — a short description of the photo (e.g. "Front of Murphy's Bakery on Main Street"). This helps search engines and screen readers

Your media library

Every photo you upload is saved in your media library (Media in the WordPress left menu). You can reuse any photo on multiple pages without uploading it again.
