GM&F Training

GM&F CLIENT TRAINING

Learn to update your website with confidence.

Start with Module 1 →

This portal teaches you, step by step, how to safely make everyday changes to your Avada-powered website — updating text, swapping images, and publishing changes — without breaking anything. No technical background needed.

How to use this portal

Work through the modules in order — each one builds on the last. Every module takes 5–15 minutes and includes written step-by-step instructions, a short video where it helps, and a small practice task to try on your own website.

You don’t need to finish in one sitting. The modules are numbered, so you can always pick up where you left off. Plan on about 90 minutes total.

Three quick tips before you begin:

  • Practice on your real website — the practice tasks are designed to be safe, and doing is how this sticks.
  • Your site may look slightly different from the examples. Every GM&F client site uses the same tools (WordPress + Avada), but colors and menus vary. The buttons and steps are the same.
  • When in doubt, don’t guess — ask. If something on your site looks wrong or unfamiliar, stop and contact us. It is never a bother; it is what we are here for.

The modules
