Creating and Managing Pages

Learn how to create, organize, and manage pages effectively using the block-based content management system. This guide covers everything from basic page creation to advanced organization strategies.

The system uses two types of navigation blocks:

• Pages: Contain actual content that visitors can view
• Folders: Organize pages into logical groups and create navigation structure

Think of folders like directories on your computer – they help organize content but don't contain content themselves.

Note: Only Site Admins and Root Admins can create new pages. Content Editors can edit existing pages.

1. Navigate to Blocks Editor: Access through user menu or /blocks URL
2. Select Parent Location: Choose where to create the page (root or inside a folder)
3. Click "Add Page": Look for the + button or "Add" option
4. Enter Page Details:
5. Name: The page title
6. Slug: URL-friendly version (auto-generated from name)
7. Save: The page is created in draft status

Pages automatically generate URLs based on their location:

• Root page: /page-name
• In folder: /folder-name/page-name
• Nested folders: /folder1/folder2/page-name

Important: URLs are automatically generated from the folder structure. Moving pages changes their URLs, so set up redirects if needed!

Pages can contain various types of content blocks:

• Headers: H1, H2, H3, etc. for structure
• Rich Text: Paragraphs, lists, formatted text
• Media: Images, videos, files
• Buttons: Call-to-action links
• Lead Forms: Customer contact forms
• Maps: Location maps
• Collections: Organize blocks in columns or carousels
• And more... See the Block System guide for details

Organize your pages for better user experience and SEO:

• Logical Hierarchy: Group related pages in folders
• Clear Naming: Use descriptive names for pages and folders
• URL Structure: Keep URLs short and meaningful
• Navigation Depth: Avoid going more than 3-4 levels deep
• Homepage Links: Important pages should be easily accessible

Understanding the publishing process:

1. Draft Status: New pages start as drafts (not visible to visitors)
2. Content Creation: Add and edit content blocks
3. Preview: Test how the page looks to visitors
4. Review: Check content for accuracy and completeness
5. Publish: Make the page live (Site Admin+ only)
6. Updates: Further edits create new drafts until republished

Common page management tasks:

• Editing Content: Click on any block to edit it
• Reordering Blocks: Drag and drop to rearrange content
• Moving Pages: Drag pages to different folders (Site Admin+)
• Deleting Pages: Remove outdated content (Site Admin+)
• Duplicating Pages: Copy existing pages as templates
• SEO Settings: Configure meta descriptions and keywords

Optimize your pages for search engines:

• Page Titles: Use descriptive, keyword-rich titles
• URL Structure: Keep URLs clean and descriptive
• Header Hierarchy: Use H1 for main title, H2 for sections
• Meta Descriptions: Write compelling page descriptions
• Internal Links: Link related pages together
• Image Alt Text: Describe images for accessibility and SEO
