Your site’s pages sit in a tree, with your home page at the top and every other page below it. Here you create pages, move them around, rename them and remove the ones you no longer need. Who can do this: Contributors, Editors, Admins and Owners. Publishing needs an Editor, an Admin or an Owner.

Before you start

  • Sign in to your site.
  • Think about where the page belongs. A page you create becomes a subpage of the page you’re on, so open the right parent page first. You can move it later.
For example, take the tree Home → Services → Daycare:
  • Services sits right under the home page: it’s a top-level page.
  • Daycare sits under Services, so it’s a subpage of Services, and Services is its parent page.
To add Daycare there, open the Services page before you choose New Page.

Open the page tree

Open the command palette (⌘K, or Ctrl+K on Windows) and choose Pages. Or press G, then P. The Manage Pages window opens. It lists every page under Page Title, with Last Edited beside it. Choose the arrow beside a page to show or hide its subpages.

The page tree. A lock marks a page that keeps its place: Home, and the Templates branch.

Create a page

1

Open the parent page

On your site, go to the page your new page should sit under. For a top-level page, stay on the home page. Can’t reach the parent from your menu? Open Manage Pages (see above), choose that page’s More Options, then Preview: the page opens on your site.
2

Start a new page

Open Manage Pages, then choose New Page. The Create a Page gallery opens.
3

Choose a starting point

Choose Blank page, then Start blank. Or choose a ready-made layout and Use template. See Start from a page template.
4

Fill in the basics

The new page’s window opens on the Basics tab. Type the page’s name in Title.Slug fills in from the title: it’s the part of the web address after your domain, starting with a slash. For example, the title “Daycare” gives the Slug “/daycare”, and the page’s address becomes yoursite.com/daycare. You can change it.
The New Default Page window: Title "Daycare" on the Basics tab; on the right, Slug "/daycare", Type "Default Page", Visibility "Public" and Hide in Navigation.The New Default Page window: Title "Daycare" on the Basics tab; on the right, Slug "/daycare", Type "Default Page", Visibility "Public" and Hide in Navigation.

A new page: give it a title, check its address and choose its type.

5

Check the type

Type is set to Default Page, which suits most pages. See Page types below.
6

Save it as a draft

Open the arrow beside Publish (More save options) and choose Save Draft. Visitors can’t see the page yet.
The page opens on your site, ready for sections. Add them, replace the sample text, then read the page through and publish it: choose Publish in the edit bar. Contributors choose Submit instead, to send it for review. See Add, move and remove sections.

Page types

Choose the type when you create a page. It decides what kind of page it is. A blank page starts with a Page Header section, so it has its main heading from the start.

Move a page

1

Open Manage Pages

2

Drag the page to its new place in the tree

To make it a subpage, drop it inside another page, not just after it in the list.
3

Check the result

A subpage shows indented under its parent page, and the parent gets an arrow to show or hide its subpages. If the page landed at the wrong level, drag it again.
Moving a page can change its web address. If people already link to the old address, add a redirect. See Redirects.

Rename a page or change its address

1

Open the page on your site and choose Edit in the edit bar

2

Choose More Options (⋯) in the edit bar, then Edit

The page settings window opens.
3

Change Title to rename the page

Change Slug to change its web address. Before you change the Slug, know that links to the old address stop working: add a redirect from the old address to the new one. See Redirects.
4

Choose Update

Contributors choose Submit Update instead, to send the change for review.
You can also open the same window from Manage Pages: choose the page’s More Options, then Edit.

Show a page in your header menu

Your header menu doesn’t follow the page tree. A new page isn’t added to it on its own, and Hide in Navigation doesn’t change it. To show a page in the menu, add its link in Site design → Header: Navigation → Menu links. See Header.

Make a page private

In the page settings window, set Visibility to Login Required. Only people with an account on your site, such as your team in People & Roles, can open it, and only after they sign in. It isn’t a customer login: use it for pages meant for your own team. Set it back to Public to show it to everyone.

Copy a page

In Manage Pages, choose the page’s More Options, then Duplicate…. A copy opens in a new page window. Give it a new title, then save it. The copy is a separate page: changing its title, text or sections never changes the original. Some sections show shared items, such as FAQs, Team Members and Testimonials. Edit one of those items, and the change shows on every page that uses it.

Remove a page

In Manage Pages, choose the page’s More Options, then Archive. If the page has subpages, you choose whether to archive them too. Archived pages leave your site, and you can restore them. See Archive, restore and delete.

Pages that come with your site

A new site starts with a set of ready-made pages: About Us, Services, Pricing, Gallery, Blog, Service Area Map, Contact Us, and the legal pages: Cookie Policy, Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. They’re ordinary pages. Rename them, move them, change their web address, or archive the ones you don’t need, like any page you make yourself.
The About Us row in Manage Pages with its More Options menu open: Edit, Preview, Duplicate..., Share Draft, Document Versions, Fill in business details, Archive and Unpublish, with Archive ringed.The About Us row in Manage Pages with its More Options menu open: Edit, Preview, Duplicate..., Share Draft, Document Versions, Fill in business details, Archive and Unpublish, with Archive ringed.

A ready-made page has the same options as any other, Archive included.

Before you archive one, check what links to it. The footer links to the legal pages, the cookie banner links to Cookie Policy, and the header and footer link to most of the others. Change them in Site design → Header: Navigation → Menu links and Footer: Links → Link groups. See Header and Footer. Only Home is fixed: it keeps its place and address, and a lock beside it in the tree marks it. Under Templates in the tree are the starting points for the Create a Page gallery. Visitors never see them.

What happens next

A page you publish is live at once. Visitors can reach it by its address, and from your header menu once you add its link. A page saved as a draft stays hidden until someone publishes it. Contributors submit pages for review instead of publishing. See Drafts, publishing and scheduling.

Troubleshooting

You tried to move one of the pages that came with your site. These pages keep their place in the tree. Move your other pages around them instead.
Another page already has this web address. Change Slug to something unique, such as “/daycare-prices” instead of “/daycare”.
A new page becomes a subpage of the page you were on when you chose New Page. Drag it to the right place in Manage Pages.
Pages aren’t added to the menu on their own. Add the page’s link in Site design → Header: Navigation → Menu links.
Publishing needs an Editor, an Admin or an Owner. If you’re a Contributor, submit the page for review instead. If publishing stops with a message about a main heading, see Add, move and remove sections.
