Michael,
John has it right. A user cannot alter or modify your content or your page. They may be able to download your images and/or copy your text, alter them on their own system, but the will never be able to upload the altered content to your site. To do that, they would need to know YOUR log in and YOUR password to the hosting site of your web pages.
No matter how you develop your website data - such as creating it locally on your system and using FTP or using a hosting company's templates - without knowledge of your user ID and password, there is no way that somebody can alter your pages as published.
Think of it this way. If, instead of a web page, you had your products you sell in a printed catalog. Nobody could take a copy of your catalog, alter the images or the text and put that catalog back out. Mind you, in this example, sure, they could then go through the cost and hassle of re-typesetting your catalog and re-publishing your catalog, but nobody is going to do that.
Again, without knowledge of your log-in credential to your hosting site, there is no way to alter your web pages once they have been published.
If you don't believe us, try it. See if you can copy a website onto your local system and then upload it back to the domain and the hosting site. It's not possible.
