How To Brand & Customize The Complete Website Maintenance Manual (CWMM)

The Complete Website Maintenance Manual (CWMM) is a fully editable document. You can edit any and all of its content and distribute your branded copy of the manual to clients.

To customize the CWMM, do the following:

  1. Download the Manual from your Member’s Area.
  2. Extract the Zip File containing The READ ME and .DOCX File.
  3. Open the .DOCX File using a Word Processing application (e.g. MS Word, Google Docs, etc.)
  4. Add your branding (see tutorial below) and SAVE AS a copy (i.e. your branded master).
  5. Go through and edit the content if required. You can add or delete content, include links to additional products, services, or web pages, add affiliate links, special offers (e.g. special discount coupon or promotion on the last page), etc.
  6. When you have finished editing, save your edits.
  7. Personalize the manual for each client (see tutorial below) and save the manual as a PDF file.
  8. Distribute the Branded PDF version of the manual to your clients.

How To Brand The Manual

Branding The CWMM is really easy! All you have to do is replace the following information:

  • LOGO – Add your own logo to the header section.
  • [CLIENT NAME] – Replace this placeholder with your client’s name
  • [YOUR AGENCY NAME] – Replace this placeholder with the name of your business or agency
  • [https://yourwebsiteurl.com] – Replace this with your website address
Branding your manual is as easy as adding your logo and replacing 3 placeholders with your information!

Note: We recommend replacing only the placeholders for [YOUR AGENCY NAME] and [https://yourwebsiteurl.com] first, then saving the document to create a branded master copy of the manual.

Then, for each client you plan to distribute the manual to, replace the [CLIENT NAME] tag and save your master copy as a PDF to create a personalized copy.

Let’s start by branding your manual.

We’ll begin by adding your business or agency name.

Highlight and copy the [YOUR AGENCY NAME] placeholder to your clipboard.

Perform a global search and replace [YOUR AGENCY NAME] with the name of your business.

All [YOUR AGENCY NAME] instances should now display your business name.

Next, let’s brand the manual with your website address.

Highlight and copy the [https://yourwebsiteurl.com] placeholder to your clipboard.

Perform a global search and replace [https://yourwebsiteurl.com] with your site’s URL.

The manual should now display your website address throughout its pages.

Save your branded manual. You will use this document as your master copy.

To personalize the manual for your clients, open your master copy, then highlight and copy the [CLIENT NAME] placeholder to your clipboard.

Perform a global search and replace and change [CLIENT NAME] to your client’s name.

Your client’s name should now be displayed throughout the manual’s content.

Your manual is now fully branded and personalized. Save it as a PDF file and distribute this file to your client.
