How to edit & make permanent changes to web pages online ?

    Hi I need some technical advice on web pages,

    Is it possible for you to log into a particular website, make changes to the site like with text & imagery (only way I know how to do this is through inspect element but it's not exactly what I'm looking for) save those changes, log out, log back in & those changes remain in tact ?

    If it is possible how do you go about doing that, or is there a piece of software that you can use to help with this ?

    If I'm not posting this in an ideal area could you please advise me on where I might find the best advice

    No its not a site I want to create

    The site already exists, think its produced by oracle

    Is there no possible way that I could log into a site like facebook for example (the site I need to edit isn't facebook Im just using it as an example) & similar to inspect element make changes like text changes, save them, save it to your desktop for example, log out of the site... but still using an active internet connection log back into the site, & the changes that you made are still there

    I know using inspect element doesn't do this, but is there any possible way the above scenario can work

    Oh sorry the only way to do that is if you have FTP access via filezilla or similar hope that helps.

    OP you need to ask the owner of the site to make the changes.

    The owner should know what tool it was built with, and how to make changes.

    Are you tying to play a trick on someone and make them think a "real" website says something you want it to say? Or are you actually trying to edit someone else's website without permission?

    It's not possible without admin access to the site.

    What you seem to be asking todo is 'hack' a site. This is illegal in many countries and also unethical in most cases. If you want to request a change contact the site owner.
