Adding a Project

1. Access Your Project Submission Page: Open the project submission page using the unique link that was provided to you.

2. Project Name: Start by adding a title for the project. The title should clearly describe the work and include the location if possible. For example, “House Extension in Bebington” or “Garden Patio Installation in Nottingham”. This helps both visitors and search engines understand what the project is about.

3. Project Date: Next, enter the date of the project. This is a text field, so you can write it in a natural format such as “January 2025” or “Completed in 2026”.

4. Project Description: Now, write the project description. This section should explain what work was carried out, any challenges involved, and what the final result was. A few detailed sentences work best, as this gives visitors more context and also helps with SEO.

5. Renaming Files (Optional): If possible, it is recommended to rename your image files before uploading them so they describe the work being shown. For example, instead of uploading a file called “IMG_4821”, rename it to something like “house-extension-wirral” or “new-patio-nottingham”. This helps search engines understand the images and can contribute to better visibility in search results.

You can rename files simply by right clicking them in the file explorer and then pressing rename (option at the top), and then writing the new file name

6. Feature Image: You will then upload the feature image. This is the main image that represents the project and will appear in the project listings. Choose a clear image that best showcases the finished work

Below is an example of where the feature image will show on the project screen.

7. Other Media Uploads: It's now time to upload the image gallery. This should include multiple photos of the project such as before, during, and after shots. The feature image should also be uploaded again inside the gallery, as it does not automatically copy across.

Below is an example of where the other media shows up on the individual project page.

8. Submit: Double check all the info you have entered is correct, and click submit, you should see a prompt at the bottom saying "Your New Project Has Been Submitted" and it will clear all the form so you can add another one.

Keep in mind it can sometimes take 1 or 2 minutes to upload do not refresh or exit while it is doing this.
