How to Edit Your MyNinjaSite Website Yourself
Log into your MyNinjaSite account and open the dashboard for your site, then use the built-in editor to update your text, photos, hours, and contact details. Changes save and go live in seconds, no code and no waiting on a developer. If your site hasn't been claimed yet, claim it first from the banner on your live page.
Your MyNinjaSite website was built for you automatically from your public business info, but it's yours to shape from here. You don't need to know any code or hire anyone to keep it accurate. Here's exactly how to get in and make changes.
Find and claim your site first
If you haven't claimed your website yet, do that before anything else. Every MyNinjaSite comes with a banner at the top of the live page that says something like "Is this your business?" Click it, verify a few details, and you'll get access to the owner dashboard. Claiming is free and takes about a minute.
If you've already claimed your site, just log in at your MyNinjaSite dashboard with the email you used to activate it.
Where the editor lives
Once you're logged in, you'll land on your dashboard. Look for the Edit Site or Owner Pages section. This opens a simple, visual editor next to a live preview of your site, so you can see exactly what changes as you make them.
Everything is organized by section: hero headline, about text, services, hours, photos, and reviews. You don't need to touch any HTML or CSS. Click a block of text, type your update, and it's done.
Updating your text
Most owners start here. Common edits include:
- Fixing a service you no longer offer, or adding a new one
- Updating your business hours, especially around holidays
- Correcting a phone number, email, or address
- Refreshing your homepage headline to match a current promotion
- Adding a short note about a closure or schedule change
Click into any text field, edit it like a normal text box, and save. Changes publish to your live site right away, no waiting for a rebuild or a developer callback.
Swapping and adding photos
Photos matter more than most owners realize. A site with real, current photos of your team, your space, or your work converts better than one with generic placeholders. In the editor, click any photo block and upload a replacement straight from your phone or computer.
A few tips that make a real difference:
- Use bright, clear, horizontal photos when possible; they crop better on both desktop and mobile
- Swap out seasonal or outdated photos so the site reflects your business today
- If you don't have a great shot for a section, leave the existing one in place rather than uploading something blurry or dark
When you swap a photo, the old one isn't deleted; it's moved into your gallery, so nothing is lost if you change your mind later.
Managing your reviews
MyNinjaSite pulls in your real, positive reviews when your site is first built. From the dashboard, you can review what's showing and swap in newer ones as they come in, so your site always reflects your most current reputation instead of reviews from years ago.
What you can't break
The editor is built so you can't accidentally take your site down. There's no way to delete the whole page, break the layout, or lose your domain by editing text or photos. If something looks off after a change, you can always go back into that section and adjust it again. There's no risk in experimenting.
When to ask for help
Text, photos, hours, and reviews are all self-serve. For bigger changes, like adding an online booking system, connecting a custom domain, or turning on a live Google rating badge that updates automatically, those are add-ons that get installed for you rather than built through the editor. If you want any of that, just reach out and it gets set up on top of the site you already have.
Most owners find that once they've made one or two edits, the dashboard becomes second nature. Check in every few weeks, especially around hours changes or new photos, and your site stays as current as your business.

How do I get access to my site's editor?
Claim your site using the banner on your live page, then log into the MyNinjaSite dashboard with the email you used to activate it.
Will my changes go live immediately?
