Resetting your website to start over

Delete all your sections and pages to start building your wedding website from scratch with fresh demo content.

If you want to completely start over with your website design, you can reset it to remove all sections and pages and begin again with clean demo content.

Warning: Resetting is permanent and cannot be undone. All sections and pages will be deleted.

When to reset your website

Consider resetting if:

  • You want to try a completely different design direction
  • You've made changes you can't easily undo
  • You want to start fresh with new demo content
  • You're switching to a different template style

Don't reset if you just want to make minor changes - you can edit or delete individual sections instead.

How to reset your website

  1. In the website builder, find the Start over button in the toolbar at the top right
  2. Click Start over
  3. You'll see a confirmation page with the message: "Want to start over? Enter the word RESET below to reset your wedding website. Please note that all sections will be deleted."
  4. Type RESET in the text field (must be all capitals)
  5. Click Continue

Your website resets immediately, removing all sections and pages.

What gets deleted

When you reset your website:

  • All sections on your homepage and pages are deleted
  • All pages you created are removed
  • All content (text, images, custom sections) is cleared

What stays the same

Resetting your website does not affect:

  • Your account settings
  • Your wedding details (names, date, location)
  • Your design settings (colors, fonts, theme)
  • Your RSVP settings and responses
  • Your guest list
  • Your domain and URL

What happens after resetting

After you reset:

  • Your site loads with fresh demo sections
  • You start building from a clean slate
  • The demo content gives you a starting point
  • You can begin adding and editing sections again

Confirmation required

To prevent accidental resets, you must type "RESET" exactly:

  • Use all capital letters: RESET
  • Don't include spaces or punctuation
  • If you type it incorrectly, you'll see: "Please enter the word 'RESET' to confirm."

Alternatives to resetting

Before resetting, consider these options:

Delete individual sections:
- Click a section to edit it
- Use the delete button to remove it
- Faster than resetting if you only want to remove some content

Delete specific pages:
- Go to the page you want to remove
- Use page settings to delete it
- Keeps your other pages intact

Edit your design:
- Change colors, fonts, and layout in Site settings
- Apply a new theme without losing content
- Faster than starting completely over

Tips

Think carefully before resetting. Once you reset, there's no way to get your content back.

Take screenshots first. If you might want to reference your old design, save screenshots before resetting.

Try editing first. Delete a few sections to see if that solves your problem before doing a full reset.

Reset early if needed. If you're just getting started and don't like your direction, resetting early is easier than extensive editing.
