Updating your dealership website should be as easy as typing an email. But for most car dealers, changing a heading or swapping a banner image means logging into a clunky back office, filling in forms, and hoping it looks right when it goes live.
We've built something better. The new Vehiso Website Builder includes a built-in visual editor that lets you change your website content directly on the live page. Click on any text, image, or button - and edit it right there.
How the car dealer website editor works
From your Vehiso admin panel, click Edit Website to open your live site in edit mode. A toolbar appears at the top showing your unsaved changes and save controls. From here, everything on the page becomes editable:
- Text - click any heading, description, or button label and start typing to change it
- Images - click any image (hero banners, logos, showcases) to upload a replacement with built-in cropping
- Buttons - edit button labels and where they link to
- Rich content - longer sections open a formatting editor so you can style text however you need
There's no code involved. You edit content the same way you read it.
Change your colours, layout, and theme in seconds
The editor includes a settings panel where you can change the bigger things too:
- Templates - switch between any of our professionally designed website themes
- Colour scheme - pick your brand colour with a colour picker or enter a hex code, and it's applied across the whole site instantly
- Light, dark, or black mode - choose the look that suits your brand
- Widget styles - change the appearance of your hero banner, latest arrivals, selling points, and header from a gallery of layout options
- Show or hide sections - toggle things like the contact widget, reviews section, or browse-by-brand on or off
With 25+ layout combinations across all themes, the car dealer website builder gives you serious flexibility without needing a web designer.
Manage your hero banners slide by slide
If your homepage uses a multi-slide hero banner, the editor lets you step through each slide individually. Autoplay pauses automatically so you can take your time editing each slide's headline, description, call-to-action button, and background image. Add, remove, or reorder slides as you need.
Works across every page
The car dealer website editor isn't limited to just the homepage. It works on every page of your site - About, Contact, and any custom information pages. Navigate to any page while in edit mode and update titles, descriptions, images, and content inline.
Preview before you publish
Every change you make is tracked as a pending edit. The toolbar shows you how many changes you've made, and you can review each one individually before saving. If something doesn't look right, undo that single change without losing the rest of your work.
Click View Live to preview how the site looks to your customers, then switch back to keep editing. When you're happy, hit Save All and everything publishes together - no partial updates, no broken pages.
Changed your mind? Click Discard and the entire site resets to how it was before you started. There's no risk of breaking anything.
Built for busy dealerships
We know dealers don't have time to learn complicated web tools. That's why the Vehiso car dealer website builder is designed to be as straightforward as possible:
- No technical knowledge needed - if you can type, you can edit your website
- Safe collaboration - if another admin is already editing, you'll see a warning to avoid conflicting changes
- Nothing gets lost - if your browser refreshes mid-edit, your pending changes are restored automatically
- No accidental clicks - links and buttons on the site are disabled during editing so you won't accidentally navigate away
Take control of your dealership website
Whether you want to update a seasonal promotion, refresh your homepage banner, change your brand colours, or switch to a completely new template - you can do it all yourself in minutes.
The website editor is part of Vehiso's all-in-one platform for car dealers, alongside our dealer management system, car dealer websites, and AI tools.
