Managing and customizing your website has never been easier with the Ciriks Website Builder. Whether you're a seasoned developer or a beginner, understanding how to edit components effectively can significantly enhance your site's functionality and appearance. This guide will walk you through the types of components, how to edit them, and best practices to optimize your website for users and search engines.

Understanding Components in Ciriks

In the Ciriks Website Builder, components are the building blocks of your website. They are categorized into two main types:

1. Static Components
   • Description: These components contain fixed content, such as text or images, that doesn't change frequently.
   • Use Cases: Ideal for static content like "About Us" sections or fixed banners.
2. Dynamic Components
   • Description: These components pull content dynamically from sections like blogs, products, or menus. Updates in the source automatically reflect wherever the component is used.
   • Example: When you publish a new blog post, it automatically appears in the blog list. Similarly, edits to existing posts are updated across the site.
