### ✏️ Edit Text and Images on Your Website Pages

- Go to your **Homepage**, **About Us**, or other key pages.
- Click directly on any **textarea** to update your content with your store’s unique info—like who you are, what you offer, and how to contact you.
- To update **images**, click on any photo and select **"Replace"** to upload your own. Use real images of your team, storefront, or products to make the site feel authentic.
- **To maximize SEO**, add **Alt Text** to each image.  
  🚨 **NOTE:** Make sure the alt text accurately describes the image — incorrect alt text can harm your SEO instead of helping it.
