<div class="gradient-card">

Phone: +1 (555) 123-4567 ← You edit this

<i class="bi-telephone"></i>

Other Pages (About, Privacy)
These still use Rich Text Editor because:
- No fixed layout requirement
- Content structure varies
- Need full formatting control
Auto-Detected:

Troubleshooting
"I don't see structured fields"
- Are you editing the Contact page specifically?
- Try refreshing the admin panel
- Check you're logged in as admin
"Changes not appearing"
- Hard refresh frontend (Ctrl+Shift+R)
- Check if you clicked "Save Page"
- Verify page is marked as "Published"
"Layout looks broken"
- This shouldn't happen with structured fields!
- If it does, run:
node backend/restore-contact-layout.js - Contact support
Database
