How To Manage Your Website

Logging Into WordPress

Your admin credentials were sent to you by Julian. Keep them safe — anyone with access can change content on your live site.

1. Open your admin login URL. Go to https://eminencelanded.com/wp-admin in your browser.
2. Enter your username and password. Use the credentials Julian shared with you.
3. Check "Remember Me" if you're on a private device so you don't have to log in each time.
4. Click "Log In". You'll land on the dashboard.

Getting Around the Dashboard

After logging in you'll see WordPress's admin area. The left sidebar is your control panel — every section you'll need is one click away.

The sections you'll use most often:

Adding a New Property

A property listing is what shows up on the homepage's "New & Notable" rail, the buyer-profile rows ("For First-Time Buyers", "For Condo Upgraders", etc.) and the Properties page.

1. Click "Property Listings" in the left sidebar, then click "Add New" at the top.
2. Type the property title. Example: "Charming Corner Terrace near Botanic Gardens". This is what buyers see first.
3. Write the description in the main editor below the title. Use short paragraphs. Mention location, condition, layout, special features. 2–4 paragraphs is the sweet spot.
4. Fill the property details panel (usually below the description or in the right sidebar): price, land size (sqft), built-up size (sqft), bedrooms, bathrooms, tenure, district. The exact fields depend on your listing template.
5. Set a Featured Image. In the right sidebar look for "Featured Image" → "Set Featured Image". Upload the hero photo (the one that shows on the card). Make it landscape, at least 1600×1000 pixels for sharpness.
6. Upload extra photos to the gallery if your template has one. These show inside the property detail page.
7. (Optional) Set a category — e.g. For Condo Upgraders, Investment Pieces. This controls which homepage rail the property appears on.
8. Click "Publish" in the top-right corner. The property goes live immediately at /property-listing/[your-title-slug]/.

Photo size guidelines

• Hero / featured image — landscape, 1600–2400 px wide
• Gallery photos — any size, ideally 1600 px wide
• File size — keep each under 1 MB if possible. Use a free tool like TinyPNG to compress before uploading.

Editing or Deleting a Property

Change a price, swap a photo, mark a property as sold, or remove it entirely.

Edit an existing property

1. Go to Property Listings in the left sidebar. You'll see a table of all listings.
2. Hover over the property's title and click "Edit".
3. Make your changes — update the price, edit the description, swap the featured image (click the existing image and choose Replace).
4. Click "Update" in the top-right. Changes go live in a few seconds.

Mark a property as Sold

Depending on your template, you can either:

• Change the status field (if your listing has one) from "For Sale" to "Sold", then click Update — the property card will show a "Sold" badge.
• Or move it to the "Sold" category — the listing then moves out of the active rails and into the sold archive.

Delete a property permanently

1. Go to Property Listings.
2. Hover over the property and click the red "Trash" link.
3. To delete forever, click the "Trash" filter at the top of the page, hover over the property, then click "Delete Permanently".

Writing a Blog Post (Insights)

Blog posts appear on your /insights/ page and help with Google rankings. Publish one a month at minimum — market updates, district guides, buying tips, sold-property stories.

1. Click "Posts" in the sidebar, then "Add New".
2. Type a clear title. Example: "What's Driving Bukit Timah Landed Prices in 2026". Aim for 50–70 characters — Google truncates beyond that.
3. Write the post. Open with a strong opening paragraph. Use sub-headings (Heading 2, Heading 3) to break up long sections. Keep paragraphs short — 2–4 sentences.
4. Insert images. Click the "+" plus button in the editor and choose Image. Upload or pick from the Media library. Each post benefits from at least one in-body image.
5. Set a Featured Image in the right sidebar (same as for properties). This is what shows on the Insights archive thumbnail.
6. Choose a Category — e.g. Market Updates, Buying Tips, District Guides. Pick one or create a new one.
7. Add Tags (optional) — keywords like bukit timah, good class bungalow, landed prices. Tags help related posts surface.
8. Click "Publish". Use the "Schedule" option if you want the post to go live at a specific time.

How long should a post be?

Anywhere from 400 to 1,500 words. Quality beats length — a tight 500-word post with one good insight ranks better than a 2,000-word post that wanders. Use bullet points and sub-headings to make it scannable.

Editing or Deleting a Post

Edit a post

1. Go to Posts in the sidebar.
2. Hover over the post title and click "Edit".
3. Make your changes — fix a typo, add a new paragraph, update an outdated number.
4. Click "Update" top-right. Live in seconds.

Delete a post

1. Go to Posts.
2. Hover and click the red "Trash" link.
3. To erase permanently, open the Trash view at the top, hover the post and click "Delete Permanently".

Uploading Photos & Media

Every photo, PDF brochure or video that lives on your site sits in the Media Library. You can upload directly when editing a property or post, or upload in bulk for later.

Upload one or many files

1. Click "Media" → "Add New".
2. Drag files into the dotted area, or click "Select Files".
3. Wait for the upload — each file shows a progress bar.
4. Click each file to set the Title (auto-filled from filename, but cleaner is better) and the Alt Text (a short description used by screen readers and Google).

Replace an image already in use

If you want to swap a photo on a property listing or post without breaking the URL:

1. Open the listing or post that uses the photo.
2. Click the photo in the editor.
3. Click "Replace" in the floating toolbar.
4. Upload or choose the new file. The URL stays the same; only the file is swapped.

Delete unused files

Over time the Media library fills up. Periodically prune unused files:

1. Go to Media → Library.
2. Switch to the "List" view (top-left toggle) to see each file's "Uploaded to" column.
3. Files with empty "Uploaded to" aren't attached anywhere. Hover one and click "Delete Permanently".

File-size best practices

• Images: JPEG for photos, PNG only for logos or transparent images. Keep each under 1 MB.
• PDFs: Keep brochures under 5 MB. Use iLovePDF to compress.
• Videos: Don't upload large videos here. Upload to YouTube or Vimeo and embed instead — saves bandwidth and loads faster.

What You Can & Can't Change Yourself

Your website is custom-coded. That means it's built for you, not assembled from a generic theme. The trade-off is some things are protected — touching them would break the design.

If you try to edit a page yourself

WordPress will show the page in its editor, but any change you save will overwrite the custom design and replace it with a blank Gutenberg block. There is no built-in undo. If this happens, contact Reputifly within 24 hours — we can restore from backup.

Support Window & Handover Date

Your website is hosted, maintained and supported by Reputifly for a defined period. After that, the site stays online and you continue to manage day-to-day content yourself — but layout changes require re-engaging us.

What's included until handover

• Hosting on the Reputifly cloud (no separate hosting fee)
• SSL certificate, domain DNS, plugin updates, security patches
• Any agent additions or removals from the Our Team grid (just send us their photo + CEA number)
• Bug fixes if anything breaks on its own
• Minor copy edits on hardcoded pages (e.g. updating the founder's bio)

What happens after handover

• The site keeps running — domain, hosting and design all intact
• You can still log in to WordPress and add/edit properties, posts and media as described above
• Layout and design changes are no longer free — they require a paid re-engagement. Quoted per change.
• Hosting bill (if not already on your own account) becomes payable directly to Reputifly or your nominated provider — whichever was agreed.

What about the team grid after handover?

Since the grid is custom-coded, adding/removing agents after handover requires Reputifly. We'll quote a small fixed fee per agent change (or per batch). Send the photo + CEA number; we update and deploy.
