Hi @MikeF77 welcome to the forum and to the world of processwire 🙂 

The thing here is: ProcessWire is very different to other CMSs in that it does not dictate HOW things are done. It just tries to make all the complicated things easy so that you can focus on building your ideas rather than having to fiddle around with all the technical parts. So for example it helps you to resize images properly ($page->your_image_field->maxSize(400,300)->url), but it has no default way of how images are managed. So there is no central media manager or such.

That might be important to understand when looking how things are done.

That means in your case you don't need to understand how ProcessWire works, but you need to find out first how the company built the website.

To understand that you could inspect the file /site/templates/home.php --> that is the template file for the home page and it is rendered when anybody opens http://yoursite.com

Maybe you could share the content of that file? Or a screenshot. Without any sensitive information of course. Then we could maybe give better instructions 🙂 Or maybe with the video posted about things are already clearer?

Also have a look if there is maybe a file /site/templates/_main.php ? Let us know what you find and we can help I'm sure 🙂 

I am a bit lost - I thought id be able to just find the code and get cracking but this is totally different than anything Ive seen before!

Here is  the home...

Hi all,

Im sure you guys can point me in the right direction.

Im a former web developer from the days where you opened notepad and type tags to build a page, but havent done that for probably a decade or so.

I have a little experience with CMS using wordpress but this is the first time I have come across processwire.

I work for a tiny company who got a 3rd party to create their site and now need a few changes.

Is there an idiots guide or such as I cant even work out how to amend things like css files or how to add google analytics tags to the  head of each page.

Be gentle im probably old enough to be the dad of all of you!

Thanks in advance

Mike
