Depending on what has been selected there will be a General tab and an Advanced tab, each giving different options.

Keyboard shortcuts can also be used.

TEXT PADDING

TOP TIP: We recommend adding at least 10px of padding left and padding right to headings and paragraphs so the text isn't touching the edge of the screen on mobile.

HEADINGS, SUBHEADINGS AND PARAGRAPHS

To add a heading, subheading or paragraph, select Headline, Sub-headline or Paragraph from the elements menu. By default, the font for heading and subheadings will be the headline font set in Typography, and the font for paragraphs will be the Paragraph font. Once added, click on the element to bring up the settings menu.

In the General tab, you can change the background color, opacity, text shadow, letter spacing, mobile and desktop text alignment, mobile and desktop font size, typography font, and color options (for each style of formatting), list icon, padding and margins. In the Advanced tab, you can add a border (which brings up options to change the border radius). You can change the line height and transform the text case.

NOTES: If any of your headings or subheadings contains a long word, such as 'accountability' or 'congratulations', we recommend checking the word fits on mobile and changing the mobile font size if needed.

BULLET LIST

If your paragraph text contains a bullet point list, this must be added a separate element. To add a bullet list, select Bullet List from the elements menu. By default, the font will be the headline font set in Typography. Once added, click on the bullet list to bring up the settings menu.

NOTES: The default Line Height for bullet lists is 1. We recommend changing this to at least 1.5 (or whatever you have set for your paragraph font). You may also want to change the Typography Type to Content Font.

When adding text to a funnel, you can use Content AI to generate text.

1. Double click in the text box to bring up the text editor menu and click on the AI icon.

2. Add a brief content description and select a post length (small is around 60 words, medium is around 150 words, large is around 400 words, or custom is up to 900 words). You can also click on Additional Options to select a writing tone and set the number of variations you want the AI to generate (from 1 to 5).

3. Press Generate.

4. On the next window, press copy to add a variation to the Chosen Content box on the right hand side, and edit as required. Press Continue to add the generated text to the funnel.

Adding Images

IMAGES

To add a single image, select Image from the elements menu. There is also the option to add an Image Feature. Once added, click on the image to bring up the settings menu.

To change the image, scroll to Image Options in the General tab and click on the Picture icon. Choose whether you want to Upload from Media Library (which includes using images that are already in your Media Library) or Create Using AI. If you choose the media library option, you then need to either select the required image from your media, upload a new image or search for free images on Pixabay and Unsplash. Click here for more information on how to use the Media Library.

In the General tab, you can change the padding and margins, background color, image file, width and height (see notes), alt text and image actions. In the Advanced tab, you can change the image radius, image border, image shadow, and image effects (color or grayscale).

NOTES: It is best practice to it is best practice to only define the width of images so that they resize proportionally on mobile.

COMPRESSING IMAGES

It is very important to resize and compress images so that your pages load quickly. Large, uncompressed images will dramatically slow down the page load time.

Unless your image is transparent, use JPEG images, not PNG images. PNG images have a significantly larger file size than other formats. Always compress your images before you upload them to your site or funnel. You can use a tool such as tinypng.com to compress your images. The site uses smart lossy compression techniques to reduce the file size of your JPEG and PNG files. The effect is nearly invisible, but it makes a very large difference in file size!

OPTIMISING IMAGES

In the funnel settings, always toggle on Image Optimisation for better page speed.

Adding Image Slider

IMAGE SLIDER

To add multiple images, select Image Slider from the elements menu. Once added, click on the image slider to bring up the settings menu.

You can add, rearrange and delete images in the Slides section in the General tab. You can

and click on the Picture icon. Choose whether you want to Upload from Media Library (which includes using images that are already in your Media Library) or Create Using AI.

Content AI Images

IMAGE AI COSTS

Content AI is a premium feature that is charged based on images generated. The price is $0.096 per image generated (so $10 will give you about 105 images).

IMAGE AI

When adding an image, you can choose to Create Image Using AI. Content AI will generate realistic images and art from a description in natural language.

1. In the popup window, add a realistic description for the image. Avoid using symbols in the description or words like discount or sale. You can generate an example, if you need.

2. Select number of variations you want the AI to generate (from 1 to 4).

3. Choose your image style (such as filmic, photo, dreamlike, digital art or poster). Press See All for additional style options.

5. Click Generate to create the image(s).

6. Choose the variation that you want to use and press Continue.

To access previously generated content, go to Automation > Content AI to learn more details and see the various content generated.

One of our favorite icons sites is Flaticon. You filter the results to make it easier to find the style you want, and then you search by collections (so your icons match each other). When downloading the icon, choose the SVG option. Please note that, unless you have a premium subscription, attribution is required in the page footer.

Nearly there! Just one last step...

To add a progress bar, select Progess Bar from the elements menu. Once added, click on the progress bar to bring up the settings menu. In the General tab, you can change the wording of the progress bar in the Text Options box.

Adding a Countdown

COUNTDOWN

You may want to add a countdown to indicate a signup deadline or when a program starts. This can be a useful tool for creating urgency. You can also add a timer to indicate a limited-time offer, but it is worth noting that because these have been over-used to create false-urgency, they do not have the same impact as they once did.

To add a date countdown timer or time, select Countdown or Timer from the elements menu. Once added, click on the countdown to bring up the settings menu. In the General Tab, set the End Date, End Time, and Time Zone.

In the General tab, you can also change the countdown color and label color, float (alignment), font, text and subtext (label) font size, and margins. In the Advanced tab, you can change the visibility.

To do this, go the Expire Actions in the General tab, choose Redirect to URL and add the URL of the page.

Reveal and Hide

EXPIRATION HIDE AND SHOW ELEMENTS

You may want to delay the appearance of certain sections and elements in your funnel, or hide them when the timer is complete. This can be done using the Countdown or Timer. To do this, go the Expire Actions in the General tab, choose Show & Hide Elements.

TOP TIP: When you click on an element, you can add a name/title in the General tab in the settings menu. This can be extremely useful if you want to show or hide it as a countdown/timer action as it makes those specific elements much easier to find in a long lime.

REVEALING ELEMENTS

If you want something to pop up after a time delay, you'll need to hide the visibility first. Select the element you wish to hide, go to Advanced in the setting menu and uncheck both desktop and mobile under visibility. If you ever hide something accidentally, you can find it by going to Elements > Manage and click the View icon to toggle between hide or unhide.

Next, in the Show & Hide Element section, choose the element(s) that you want to appear and check the relevant box(es).

HIDING ELEMENTS

If you want something to disappear after a time delay, in the Show & Hide Element section, choose the element(s) that you want to hide and check the relevant box(es).

STEALTH MODE

NOTE: If you don't want the timer to actually display on the page, you can also hide it by unchecking both desktop and mobile under visibility. The timer will still work but it will be in stealth mode!
