Adding and Editing Pages
This website uses the powerful Beaver Builder plugin (the name is horrible, I know) to allow for drag and drop elements on the site. This plugin allows users to create pages by simply dragging elements (like photos, galleries, columns, and blocks of text) to where they want them displayed on the page. Below are some helpful links to tutorials on how to edit using the built-in WordPress features, as well as the drag and drop features of Beaver Builder.
