Pages
Pages are the screens of your website. Home, Contact, Services: each one is a page, and each one has a row here.
Go to Content, then Pages.
The list of your pages
Section titled “The list of your pages”
Every row is one page on your website.
1. The title. Click it to open the page and edit it.
2. The view icon. Opens that page on your live site in a new tab.
3. The red trash icon. Sends the page to the Trash. Read the warning below first.
The Status column tells you what the public can see. Published means the page is live. Saving and publishing explains the rest.
Inside a page
Section titled “Inside a page”Click a title and the page opens. There are two boxes: Title at the top, and Content under it.
The Content box holds two kinds of thing: blocks, and plain text.
1. Title. The name of the page. It shows at the top of the browser tab.
2. The buttons. Bold, headings, links and more. They work on text you have selected.
3. A block. A ready made section, shown as a gray card with its name on it. A block builds a whole strip of your page: a big headline, your list of services, your photos. You do not type that layout yourself. You fill in a short form and the block does the rest.
4. Plain text. Words you type yourself, exactly as you type them.
Most pages are mostly blocks. Blocks you may see include:
- Basic Hero. The big headline and buttons at the top of a page.
- Story. A few paragraphs about you, next to a photo.
- Services. Cards for your services, taken from Content, Services.
- Testimonials. Customer quotes, taken from Content, Testimonials.
- Gallery. A grid of photos, taken from your albums.
- FAQ. Questions and answers that open and close.
- Pricing. A price card for each of your plans.
- Map. A map of where you are.
Some blocks pull their words from somewhere else in the panel. The Services block is one. To change a service, you edit it under Content, then Services, and every page that shows it updates.
Changing the words in a block
Section titled “Changing the words in a block”- Click the block once. A blue line appears around it.
- Click the pencil icon on the right of the card.
- A form opens, holding the block’s words in boxes. Change what you need.
- Click Save.
- Click Publish to send the change to your website.
Adding a block
Section titled “Adding a block”A new block lands wherever the cursor is, so put the cursor there first. To add one at the end of the page, click at the end of the last line and press Enter to open an empty line.
Type a slash, then a word. The list shrinks to what matches.
- Type
/on the empty line. A menu opens. It only opens on an empty line, so press Enter first if you are at the end of a sentence. - Type a word from the block name, such as
story. - Click the block in the menu.
A form opens with the block’s fields.
Every block has its own form. This one is Story.
1. Headline. The heading for this part of the page.
2. Select media. Opens your photo library. Media walks through picking a photo.
3. Insert. Adds the block to the page. The form closes and the gray card appears.
Then click Publish.
Leave a field empty if you do not need it. The block simply leaves that bit out.
Moving a block
Section titled “Moving a block”Click the block once. Six small dots appear to the left of the card. Hold the mouse button down on those dots, drag the card up or down, and let go.
The other blocks move out of the way. Click Publish when the order is right.
Removing a block
Section titled “Removing a block”Click the block once, then click the red trash icon on the right of the card. Click Publish to make the change live.
Headings, bold, and links
Section titled “Headings, bold, and links”These work on plain text, not on blocks.
Select your words first, then click a button.
1. Bold. Select the words, click B.
2. Headings. Click on the line you want to be a heading, click H, then pick Heading 2. Use Heading 2 for the main parts of a page, and Heading 3 for smaller parts inside them.
3. Insert Image. Opens your photo library, and drops the photo you pick into the text. Media covers the picker.
4. Insert Link. Turns selected words into a link. See below.
To add a link:
- Select the words you want people to click.
- Click the link button.
- Type the address in the box.
- Click Apply.
For a page on your own website, type the part after your web address, starting
with a slash: /contact, or /services. For anywhere else, type the whole
address, starting with https://.
To take a link off, select the linked words, click the link button, leave the box empty, and click Apply.
What Google shows
Section titled “What Google shows”Scroll down the panel on the right to SEO. These fields do not change your page. They change how it looks in a search result.
Two boxes worth filling in, and one switch to leave alone.
1. SEO Title. The blue line people click in Google. Leave it empty and your page title is used, with your business name after it. Fill it in when you want different wording. Keep it short, around eight words.
2. Meta Description. The gray sentence under that blue line. Say what is on the page and why someone should click. The counter under the box stops at 160 characters, so write for that.
3. Hide from search engines. Leave this switch off. It exists for a page you want kept out of Google, which is almost never what a small business wants. If you think you need it, ask us first.
Adding a new page
Section titled “Adding a new page”The menu across the top of your website is edited under Manage, then Menus.
