Edit your website

Build your first Content List

Make a Team Members list, add the people who teach at your studio, and show them on a page. Afterwards, adding someone new takes one entry and no page editing.

On this page

Before you start

  • You can sign in to your Mirin dashboard and edit your website.
  • Your plan includes content lists. If it does not, Content Lists shows what they unlock and how to upgrade.
  • You have a photo of each person, already in Media or ready to upload.

This tutorial uses Salt & Stone Pilates, a sample studio with three instructors. Use your own team as you follow along.

1. Create the Team Members list

Content lists

What do you want to manage?

A content list holds the things you reuse across your site, like team members, events or testimonials. Update an entry once and every page that shows it updates too.

Learn how content lists work

Or start from a ready-made structure

0 lists.

Content Lists before the first list, with sample data. Choose Use this on Team Members to see the list it makes, then Back to Content Lists.
  1. Open Content, then Content Lists. If this is your first list, the page asks what you want to manage.
  2. Choose Use this on Team Members. The list opens with four fields, Name, Role, Photo and Bio, and one draft sample entry.
  3. Already have lists? Choose New content list instead, name it Team Members, and add the fields yourself under Fields.

2. Add your team

Plain text

Two or three sentences about how they teach.

The sample Team Members list with three people. Edit an entry and save it, publish the draft, or choose New entry and try saving it empty to see what the form asks for.
  1. Open the sample entry. Replace its Name and Role with your first team member’s.
  2. Add their photo. In Photo, choose Browse media and pick the portrait, or upload it from the same window. Check the Alt text says who is in the picture.
  3. Write a short bio, then choose Publish. The entry is now ready for any page that shows the list.
  4. Choose New entry for each other person. Save draft keeps someone off the site until you are ready. Publish puts them on it.

Required fields

Name has an asterisk because every team member needs one. If you try to save without it, the form says what is still missing and leaves the rest of your writing in place.

3. Show them on a page

Book a session
A Team Grid section connected to the sample list. Try Sort by Name with ↓ Desc, lower Show up to, or Disconnect and connect Team Members again from the drawer.
  1. Open your team page in the builder. Select a section made to show a list, such as a team grid, or add one with Add section.
  2. Choose Connect a Content List and pick Team Members.
  3. Check the field map. Name, Role and Photo are matched to the section for you. Change any that look wrong, then choose Connect.
  4. Set the Display options. Sort by Name if you want alphabetical order, and raise Show up to if your team is bigger than the number shown.
  5. Publish the page. Your team is live, in the order you chose.

No section on your site made to show a list? Ask the builder chat for your team. It proposes a section that reads the list, as described in Ask the builder for it.

4. Keep it current

From now on you only touch the list. Save a changed bio or publish a new team member, and every page showing the list updates without being published again.

  1. Edit the entryA changed bio, a new photo.
  2. Save or publish itDrafts stay off your site.
  3. Every page followsNo page needs publishing again.

It can take a moment for the change to appear. To take someone off the site without losing their entry, open it and choose Unpublish under More actions.

Common questions

Someone is missing from the page. Why?
Check that their entry is published, because drafts never appear. Then check Show up to: a longer team spills onto numbered pages on your live site.
I deleted a field by mistake. Can I get it back?
Open the list, switch to Fields and choose Recently deleted. Restore brings the field back within 30 days, and the values are still on every entry.
What happens when someone else edited the same entry?
Mirin does not quietly write over their work. Saving stops with a message and your edits stay in the form. The full entry editor, under More actions, offers Reload from server to take their version or Keep my version.
Can I rename the list later?
Yes. Choose Rename in the list’s row menu. Pages stay connected, because they follow the list itself rather than its name.
