Your business website requires powerful features to capture and convert leads. Widgets are the essential building blocks that allow you to add dynamic functionality (such as scheduling buttons, lead forms, image galleries, or maps) to any page on your site.

The Thryv Website Editor (located in My Account) provides complete drag-and-drop control, enabling you to instantly place the functionality you need exactly where you need it, all without writing code. This guide shows you the fastest methods for customizing your site with powerful widgets, transforming it from a static page into a dynamic, lead-generating asset.

You can add widgets to a site by drag-and-dropping them from the widgets panel of the left-side editor menu or via the inline menu.

Adding widgets from the widgets panel

1. Click Widgets in the left menu to open the Widgets panel. Search for the widget you want by browsing through the widget list or using the widget search bar.
2. Click on the widget and drag it onto the site, placing it where you want it to be.
3. When you let go, the widget will appear in the location shown by the blue placement indicator.
4. When you let go, the widget will appear in the location shown by the blue placement indicator. 
   

Adding widgets via the inline menu

Right-click any widget and in the context menu that appears, pick Add widget below to add a widget immediately below the current widget. 

If you’re right-clicking on a column, you’ll have a few more Add options. Click + Add and pick Add widget below. 

You can do a quick selection from four most popular widgets or click More widgets to open the full widget menu. After adding the widget, you can edit it as usual.

Considerations

When dragging-and-dropping a widget to your website, note the text in the blue placement indicator. Here's what these messages mean:

• Insert here: The widget will be added to an existing row or column.
• Insert in new row: A new row will be added and the widget will be placed inside of it.
• Insert in new column: A new column will be added and the widget will be placed inside of it.
