Amplify Homepage Walkthrough

Learn how to edit, reorder, and enhance your homepage, including accessibility checks, global sections, and designer layouts.


Last updated: November 2025

Your homepage is the first impression visitors have of your district, and Amplify gives you powerful, easy-to-use tools to customize it. This guide walks you through everything you can do in Edit Mode, from updating sections to improving accessibility and publishing your changes.

Entering Edit Mode

To get started:

  1. Click Edit in the top-right corner of your site.

  2. This opens Edit Mode, where you can modify your homepage layout, content, and sections directly.

In Edit Mode, you’ll also notice two helpful tools: History and Fix.

Viewing Page History

The History tool shows a timeline of all published versions of your homepage, including who made each update.

You can:

  • Review previous versions

  • Click Revert to This Version to restore an earlier layout or fix accidental changes

This is especially useful when multiple staff members are editing the site.

Improving Accessibility with the Accessibility Assistant

Click Fix to open the Accessibility Assistant. Amplify automatically scans your page and assigns an accessibility score based on standards and best practices.

The tool will list issues such as:

  • Low color contrast

  • Link text problems

  • Missing headings

  • Image accessibility issues

Click any item to learn what caused it and how to fix it in the editor.
Once all issues are resolved, the Fix button changes to Accessible, confirming your page meets recommended accessibility guidelines.

Editing Global Sections

Hover over any section to reveal the Edit Section button.

Global sections include Navigation, Header, and Footer. Edits made to these sections apply across your entire site. This ensures consistent branding and layout everywhere.

For example, in the Navigation section, you can:

  • Adjust section colors

  • Manage links through the Menus tool

  • Update global branding elements

Customizing the Notification Banner

The Notification Banner is perfect for important district-wide messages such as closures, emergency notices, or major announcements.

In this section, you can:

  • Set a title and subtitle

  • Choose your banner color

  • Add a link to another page with more information

  • Click Change Layout to switch to a different banner style

Moving or Deleting Sections

To rearrange your homepage:

  1. Click Edit Section on the section you want to move.

  2. Select Move Down or Move Up (when supported).

To remove a section:

  • Click Delete Section

  • Confirm by selecting Delete Section, or click Cancel & Keep Working to undo

Remember to click Save after editing each section.

Adding Designer Sections

Want to add new content? Look for the blue + icons that appear between sections.

Clicking one opens the Designer Section Library, where you can choose from prebuilt layouts such as:

  • Image Banners

  • Meeting Lists

  • Quicklinks

  • Forms

  • Videos

  • Highlight blocks

  • And more

Each designer section includes its own customization options. (These are covered in separate walkthroughs.)

Saving, Drafting, and Exiting

If you click Exit, Amplify will ask whether you want to:

  • Save as Draft to finish later

  • Discard Changes to undo your edits

Drafts allow you to work on complex updates over multiple sessions.

Publishing Your Changes

When your homepage is ready:

  1. Click Publish in the top-right corner

  2. Choose Save & Publish to push your changes live

Your updates will instantly appear on your public site.

That’s It!

Amplify makes it easy to customize your homepage. You can adjust layouts, improve accessibility, reorder sections, add designer content, and publish updates all in one intuitive editing experience.
