A plain guide to changing the words, pictures, numbers and links on risetprimaasia.com. No technical knowledge needed: if you have used Word, you can do everything here.
Every word, picture, number and link on this site can be changed by you, without touching code. Nothing you do here is permanent: every save keeps the version before it.
Step 1
Add /wp-admin to the end of the site’s address — for example risetprimaasia.com/wp-admin — and use the login you were given. You arrive at the WordPress Dashboard, with a dark menu down the left side. Everything in this guide starts from that menu.
Once you are logged in, a dark bar also appears across the top of the public site. On any page, its Edit with Elementor link takes you straight to editing that page.
Step 2
Pages → Edit with Elementor is for everything in the middle of a page: headlines, paragraphs, pictures, figures, the map, the services. Elementor is the page editor; you click a block on the page and change it in a panel beside it.
Appearance → Customize is for what repeats on every page: the button in the header, everything in the dark footer, and the standard wording around articles.
Articles (“insights”) are the third thing you will touch. They are ordinary WordPress posts, written under Posts — see Publish a new insight.
Step 3
Made a slip? Ctrl + Z (⌘ + Z on a Mac) undoes it, as in Word.
Click it, type, publish. That really is all.
Step 1
Open the page with Edit with Elementor and click the text you want to change. The panel on the left now shows that block’s name — “Edit RPA · Hero (page opener)”, for example — and one field for each piece of text in it.
Fields are grouped under headings such as Text, Buttons and Layout. Click a heading to open it. To hide something — a button, a small label — leave its field empty.
When you are happy, press Publish at the top right.
Step 2
Headings on this site use one typographic flourish: a word or two set in italic. You make it by wrapping the words in asterisks.
Typing Every decision starts with *market truth* gives “Every decision starts with market truth”.
It works in every heading field, and in the footer sign-off line. Use it for one or two words per heading — the ones that carry the meaning. If everything is emphasised, nothing is.
Step 3
Most blocks have a Background tone menu under Layout. It tells the block what colour it sits on, so the text, rules and links adjust to stay readable.
Full-width bands (the hero, statement, figures, moving words, closing call to action) paint their own background, so changing the tone changes the band. Other blocks only adapt their text: the background behind them belongs to the section that holds them.
Step 4
A few fields — Text in the Image + text block, and the plain Text Editor block — are small word processors with buttons for bold, lists and links. To make a link, select the words, press the chain icon and paste the address.
When you paste from Word or an email, use Ctrl + Shift + V (paste as plain text). Ordinary paste brings Word’s fonts and colours with it, and they will fight the site’s design.
Pictures are chosen from the Media Library — the site’s own photo drawer. You can pick one that is already there or upload a new one.
Step 1
Select the block, open its Images section (in the hero it is called Plate (film or photo)) and click the small preview of the current picture.
Step 2
Step 3
The Alt Text is read aloud to visitors who cannot see the picture, and it is what Google reads too. Say what is in the frame, in one plain sentence: “Workshop participants around a table in Surabaya”, not “image1” and not a slogan.
Some blocks also have their own description field (Describe the main image, Image description). Leave it empty to use the Media Library’s Alt Text; fill it in when the same picture needs different words on this page.
| Where | Shape and size | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Hero plate | 2:3 portrait · at least 1024 × 1536 px | A landscape photo will be cropped hard. Use “Keep in view” to choose which part survives. |
| Service plates (Plates rail) | 4:5 portrait · at least 1200 × 1500 px | |
| Image + text | 4:5, 1:1 or 16:9 — you choose · at least 1600 px on the long side | Pick the shape with “Main image shape”. |
| Wide bands and background images | 3:2 landscape · about 2400 × 1600 px | Statement and Closing call to action. Dark, quiet pictures keep the text readable; if it is not, raise “Dimming strength”. |
| Featured image of an insight | 3:2 or 16:9 landscape · at least 1600 px wide | Shown whole at the top of the article and cropped to 3:2 in lists. |
Step 4
Under about 500 KB per picture. A photo straight from a phone is often ten times that, and slows the page for everyone on mobile data. Before uploading, export it as JPEG at around 2400 px wide — any photo app can do this, or a free site such as squoosh.app.
Monochrome. The site’s look is black-and-white photography with a slight blue-grey tint. The hero has a Monochrome treatment switch: turn it on for an ordinary colour photo. Field photos and the large picture at the top of an article are shown in black and white automatically, and return to colour when a visitor points at them. Pictures inside an article’s text stay in colour.
Figures, claims, steps, checklists, contact lines, cities on the map, the moving words: all of them are lists of rows, and all rows work the same way.
Step 1
Click a row’s name to open it; click again to close it.
| Block | Each row holds | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Figures (key numbers) | Number · Prefix · Suffix · Label | Digits only in Number, so it can count up on screen. Put “+”, “%” or “$” in Prefix or Suffix. Only publish numbers you can stand behind. |
| Claims (ruled columns) | Number · Title · Text · optional link | Two to four rows sit best. |
| Steps (numbered list) | Title · Text | Numbered 01, 02, 03 automatically, in the order of the rows. |
| Image + text → Checklist | Text | Short phrases. An even number of rows fills two columns neatly. |
| Closing call to action → Contact lines | Label · Value · Link | For a phone link write tel:+62812… ; for email, mailto:hello@risetprimaasia.com. |
| Contact block → Lines, Social links | Label · Value · Link | |
| Marquee (moving words) | One word or short phrase | Six to ten words read best. It stands still for visitors who have asked their device for less motion. |
| Plates rail (services) | Number · Title · Text · Image · Link label · Link | |
| Meridian map → Cities | City · Latitude · Longitude · Line starts from | See the next step. |
Step 2
Select the map, open Destinations and press Add Item (or duplicate a city).
Where to find the numbers: open Google Maps, right-click the city and click the pair of numbers at the top of the little menu — that copies them, latitude first. Wikipedia also shows them at the top right of every city’s page. Two or three decimal places are plenty.
Line starts from chooses whether the line is drawn from the main office or the second office. The map draws the line and places the label by itself.
Insights are the research articles. They are written in WordPress’s own editor — not Elementor — so every article gets the same careful reading layout without any design work from you.
Step 1
Write, or paste, the text under the title. Press Enter for a new paragraph. For a section heading, type /heading and press Enter — and keep it at Heading 2 (H2). The article’s title is already Heading 1, and there should be only one. Use Heading 3 inside a section if you need it.
Heading 2 does one more job. On a wide screen, an article with three or more of them shows an In this article list in the margin beside the text, and each entry jumps to its section. The list builds itself from your Heading 2s — nothing to set up — so give sections short, plain headings, and do not make a heading by setting a paragraph in bold: it will look similar and be missing from the list.
Step 2
Nothing more to do. A published insight appears by itself at the top of the Insights page, in the latest-insights list on Home, in its topic’s page, and under “Continue reading” on related articles. Its date, topic and reading time are worked out for you.
To publish later, click Immediately next to “Publish” in the right-hand column and choose a date. To take an article down, change its Status to Draft.
Step 3
In the Categories box of any article, press Add Category, type the name and confirm. Or go to Posts → Categories, where you can also rename a topic or write a description for it.
A topic appears on the site as soon as one published article uses it. Keep the list short: eight topics that each hold several articles serve readers better than twenty that hold one.
The row of topic buttons under the title of the Insights page, and on every topic and search page, builds itself from this list, with the number of articles beside each name. There is nothing to add by hand. (On the Insights page that row is a small block that contains only [rpa_topics] — leave it as it is.)
The strip of photographs from workshops and fieldwork.
Step 1
Select the strip on the page and open Photos.
Show at most limits the number (10–16 works well; a long strip is slow on phones). To add a new photo: click Photos, upload it, make sure it is ticked, and press Insert gallery.
Step 2
The small line under each photo comes from the photo’s own Caption in the Media Library — not from the page. Go to Media, click a photo, and fill in Caption: what, where, when. “Stakeholder workshop, Banyuwangi, 2026”. The photos that came from the old site have no captions yet; the strip simply shows none until you add them.
While you are there, check the Alt Text. It was written by looking at each picture and names no event, place or person. You know what the photos really show.
Anything that appears on every page is edited once, in the Customizer, and changes everywhere.
Step 1
The four sections that begin with RPA · are yours. Click one to open it. The page on the right is a live preview: it updates as you type, and you can click through the site inside it.
The preview opens on Home. Home ends with its own invitation to get in touch, so the footer there leaves out its paragraph and button — if you change those fields while looking at Home, nothing seems to happen. Click About in the preview’s menu first, then scroll down to the footer: every footer field shows on that page.
Nothing is saved until you press Publish at the top of the panel. To leave without saving, press the × and confirm.
| To change… | Go to | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| The button in the header | RPA · Header → Button label, Button link | Leave the label empty to hide the button. A link can be a path on this site, such as /contact/. The button is left out on the page it points to (Contact). |
| The large line at the top of the footer | RPA · Footer → Sign-off line | Asterisks make italics here too. |
| Footer paragraph and button | RPA · Footer → Intro paragraph, Button label, Button link | Pages that already end with an invitation (Home, Contact, every article) leave out the footer paragraph and button. To see them while you edit, click About in the preview first. The fields say so themselves, in grey, in the Customizer. |
| Phone numbers and email | RPA · Footer → Phone 1, Phone 2, Email | These are the footer’s. The Contact page and the closing band on Home have their own copies — change a number in all three places. Not shown on the Contact page, which lists these details itself: check them on About. |
| The “Where we work” paragraph and opening hours | RPA · Footer → Address column heading, Address text, Opening hours | One line per row in the hours. When you publish a street address, put it in Address text and change the heading back to “Address”. |
| Instagram and LinkedIn | RPA · Footer → Instagram link, LinkedIn link | Leave empty to hide. |
| Copyright line and small location line | RPA · Footer → Copyright line, Small location line | Write {year} and the current year is filled in for you. |
| The link to this guide | RPA · Footer → Site guide link label | Leave empty to hide the link. The guide stays reachable at /guide/. |
| The band at the end of every article | RPA · Articles → Closing call-to-action · eyebrow, heading, text, button label, button link | |
| “All insights”, “Share”, “Continue reading” | RPA · Articles | The small labels around an article. |
| The “In this article” list beside an article | RPA · Articles → “In this article” label | The list makes itself from the article’s Heading 2 sections, on wide screens, when there are three or more. Leave the label empty to hide the list everywhere. |
| Topic pages and search results | RPA · Insights index, search & 404 → Index · …, Search … | The Insights page itself is an Elementor page: edit its heading there. |
| What a visitor reads when a search finds nothing | RPA · Insights index, search & 404 → Message when a search finds nothing | Write {query} where the visitor’s own words should appear. To see it, search the preview for a word no article contains. |
| The “page not found” page | RPA · Insights index, search & 404 → 404 · … | |
| Logo and browser-tab icon | Site Identity | Use a logo file with no empty margin around it. |
Step 2
Step 3
Go to Appearance → Menus.
The header has room for four or five short links, on one level — it does not show drop-down sub-menus. This guide is in neither menu, on purpose: it is for your team, not for visitors. While you are logged in, a small Site guide link appears in the bottom row of the footer; otherwise type /guide/ after the site’s address.
The form on the Contact page sends each message to you as an email. Nothing is stored on the website.
Step 1
Open the Contact page with Elementor, click the contact block and open Form.
Every other word of the form is in the same panel: the field labels, the button, the small print under it and, under Form messages, what the visitor reads after sending or when something is missing.
Step 2
Name, email and message are required; company is optional. After pressing the button the visitor sees a short thank-you in place of the form. If a field is missing or the email address looks wrong, the form says exactly which one, and keeps what they had typed.
The email you receive has the visitor’s address as its reply-to, so you can simply press Reply. The form quietly turns away automated spam: it ignores anything sent within three seconds of the page opening, and more than five messages in ten minutes from one sender.
Step 3
In the editor, press + at the top left: the first group in the list, already open, is “Riset Prima Asia” (typing RPA in the search box finds the same blocks). These are the site’s own blocks; every page is built from them. Drag one onto the page to add it — it arrives filled with sensible text to replace.
| Block | Used on | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| Hero (page opener) | Home · About · Services · Contact | The first thing on a page: small label, headline, intro, up to two buttons, and on Home a framed film or photo. Holds the page’s one H1. “Arrangement → Text only” suits inner pages. |
| Section heading | Home · About · Services · Insights | Opens a section: index number, small label, serif heading, optional intro and link. Where it is the page’s title, as on Insights, the “Top-right note” field puts a few words at the far end of the top rule (“Research notes”), like the note on the other pages’ openers. Leave it empty to hide it. |
| Claims (ruled columns) | Home | Two to four short statements side by side. |
| Statement (large text band) | Home | One large sentence on a dark band, with an optional background image or film. |
| Figures (key numbers) | Home · About | The big numbers that count up. |
| Marquee (moving words) | Home | A slow line of moving words, used for the sectors RPA works in. |
| Steps (numbered list) | Home · About | A numbered list: how we work, our approach. |
| Meridian map | Home | The world map with lines from Surabaya and Bali to the markets you name. |
| Plates rail (services) | Home | The services as large numbered plates that scroll sideways. |
| Image + text | Home · About · Services | A picture beside a heading, text, optional checklist and button. The workhorse of About and Services. |
| Insights index (articles) | Home · Services · Insights | Lists articles automatically — as rows, as cards, or with one article featured. Can be limited to chosen topics. |
| Field notes (photo strip) | Home · About | The sideways strip of fieldwork photographs. |
| Closing call to action | Home | The closing band: heading, paragraph, button and contact lines. |
| Contact block + form | Contact | Contact details, address, hours, social links and the enquiry form. |
| Guide step · Guide contents list · Guide look-up table | Guide | The three blocks this guide is made of. |
Moving, copying and removing blocks. Right-click a block on the page for Duplicate, Copy, Paste and Delete. To move a block, drag it by the small handle that appears at its top edge, or open Structure (the stacked-layers icon in the top bar) and drag it in the list. The full-width bands — hero, statement, figures, moving words, plates, field photos, closing call to action — sit in sections with no side padding; when you add another, duplicate an existing section and change its contents rather than starting from an empty one.
The design is quiet on purpose. A few habits keep it that way.
| Do this | For example | Because |
|---|---|---|
| One H1 per page | Heading level | The hero (or the first section heading) is the page’s title: H1. Every other heading is H2 or H3. Search engines and screen readers rely on it. |
| Sentence-case headings | Why choose us | Headings on pages use sentence case: capitalise the first word and proper names only. Not “Why Choose Us”. No full stop at the end. Article titles are the one exception — they keep RPA’s existing Title Case (see Insights → Posts → Add Post). |
| Captions under pictures | Pl. 02 — At the desk | “Pl.” (plate) for the paper-model artwork, “Fig.” for photographs. Number them down each page, starting again at 01 on the next page, and say in a few words what the picture shows. Typed like this, the number is set in the site’s small plate style by itself. |
| Keep headings short | under ten words | Large serif type needs room. If a heading runs past three lines on a phone, trim it and move the detail into the intro. |
| Italics for one or two words | market truth | Italic is the site’s only emphasis. It replaces bold, capitals, colour and exclamation marks. |
| Paste as plain text | Ctrl + Shift + V | Word’s hidden fonts and colours override the design. |
| Links say where they go | Read the Bali hospitality report | Never “click here” or “read more” on its own. People skim links; screen readers list them out of context. |
| Leave colours and fonts alone | The Advanced tab | They are set once for the whole site (Elementor’s Site Settings, and the theme). A colour or font changed on one block will drift out of step with everything else — and coloured text may no longer be readable. Links are indigo and underlined everywhere so nobody has to guess what is clickable. |
| Describe every picture | Alt Text | One plain sentence. |
| Real numbers, real names | A research firm’s site is read by people who check. Publish only figures, clients and results you can show. | |
| Look at the phone view | phone icon, top bar | Before every Publish. |
Headlines rise into place line by line, pictures wipe open, figures count up, the map draws its lines, the services slide sideways. All of it is applied to the blocks automatically — there is nothing to switch on, and new text or pictures you add are animated the same way.
Inside the editor the page stands still, so you can always see and click everything. Visitors who have asked their phone or computer to reduce motion get the same page with simple fades, and the site works fully with no animation at all.
You cannot break the site by editing text and pictures. And almost anything can be put back.
Fix 1
Ctrl + Z steps back one change at a time. Or simply close the editor without pressing Publish: visitors only ever see what was published.
Fix 2
Articles keep versions too: in the post editor, open the right-hand column and click Revisions.
Fix 3
If a page suddenly looks unstyled, or a change shows in the editor but not on the site, clear the stored files:
The same button lives in the admin screens, a little hidden: choose Elementor in the black left-hand menu, then Editor directly beneath it. A white list appears beside the menu — press Tools there (marked 01 in the picture below; not WordPress’s own Tools further down the black menu), and in the Elementor Cache row press Clear Files & Data (marked 02). The first time you choose Elementor it may greet you with a “Welcome” window and a video: close it with the × at its top right.
Then reload the page with Ctrl + Shift + R, which makes your browser fetch everything afresh.
And 4
The left menu offers more than you need. Editing pages, posts, media, menus and the Customizer is safe. Please do not update, add or remove anything under Plugins or Appearance → Themes, and stay out of Theme File Editor and Elementor’s Site Settings, unless you have agreed it with whoever maintains the site. That is where a site can genuinely be broken.
Two things in the admin screens look urgent and are not. The red Upgrade button under Elementor is an advertisement for its paid edition, which this site does not use. The number beside the circling arrows in the top bar counts available updates; they are the maintainer’s job, applied together and tested, not one at a time.
If you are stuck, write to the person who maintains the site for RPA. Say which page, what you were trying to do and what you saw instead — a screenshot is worth a paragraph.
This guide is a page like any other, built from the same blocks. If a step here is out of date, or your team works differently, open Pages → Guide → Edit with Elementor and rewrite it. It is hidden from search engines and appears in no menu; while you are logged in, a small Site guide link at the very bottom of every page brings you back here.
