Pages are the primary content units of your website. Each page represents a standalone route that can be visited by users and optionally indexed by search engines. This section of the system lets you create, edit, and manage these pages easily.
Creating a Page
To create a new page, click the New Page button in the top right corner of the Pages section.
This will open a blank draft with the following key fields to fill out:
- Title – Sets the name of the page and influences both navigation and SEO.
- URL – Defines the URL (e.g.
/about
) where the page will be accessible. You can use the button to auto-generate one based on the title.
After entering the basic settings, use the Page Builder to start adding content. You can access it right away or return to it later via the pencil icon on the page card.
Changes are saved automatically as a draft until you choose to Promote the page to make it live.
Editing a Page
There are two main ways to edit a page in the CMS: via the Settings drawer and the Page Builder.
Settings Drawer
Click the cogwheel icon on an existing page to open the settings drawer. This panel contains key metadata and configuration options that aren’t directly visible on the page itself, including:
- Title - the name of the page, important for both users and search engines
- URL – the page’s URL, which should be clean and keyword-friendly. You can use the button to auto-generate one based on the title.
- Meta Description - a short summary that boosts your SEO and click-through rate
- Published and Nonindexable checkboxes – control page visibility and search engine indexing
The drawer also includes a Details section with metadata about the page, such as creation date, last updated time, and publish history.
Page Builder
To edit the content layout, use the Page Builder. You can access it via the pencil icon or from within the settings drawer. The builder allows you to:
- Add and arrange blocks using drag-and-drop
- Customize text, images, and other components
- Preview changes in real time before publishing
Together, the settings and builder give you full control over both the structure and visibility of your pages.
SEO Best Practices
Search engine optimization helps your pages rank better and attract more visitors. Here are some tips for optimizing your content:
Title
- Keep it concise (50-60 characters) and descriptive.
- Include key terms that people might search for.
- Make it compelling. This is what users see first in search results.
- You don’t need to add your domain to the title, that is handled by the system.
URL
- Use readable, lowercase words separated by hyphens (e.g.,
/contact-us
). - Avoid special characters, numbers, or overly long paths.
- Include keywords if they add clarity, but don’t overstuff.
Meta Description
- Summarize the page in 150-160 characters.
- Aim to inform and attract clicks—think of it like an ad.
- Use a natural tone and include a call to action when appropriate.
- Avoid duplicating meta descriptions across multiple pages.
Internal Linking
- Link to other relevant pages on your site to guide users and help search engines understand your site structure.
- Use descriptive anchor text (e.g., “our pricing plans” instead of “click here”).
- Avoid overlinking, focus on quality and relevance.
- Keep links up to date to avoid broken paths.
Drafts and Publishing Workflow
Every page in the CMS begins as a draft. Drafts allow you to build and refine content privately, without making it visible on your live site.
When you’re ready for the page to go live, you can promote it to a published state. Once published, the page becomes publicly accessible at its assigned URL.
If you need to take a page offline without deleting it, you can simply unpublish it. This keeps the content in the system for future edits or reuse but hides it from visitors.
How Edits Work
- Any changes made to a published page are saved as a working draft.
- These edits do not affect the live version until you choose to promote changes.
- This ensures a safe editing flow, where you’re free to update and preview content without immediately affecting what’s online.
Fields
Each page includes a set of fields that control how it appears and behaves.
You’ll find these in the Settings drawer, along with descriptions of what each one does:
Title
The name of the page, displayed in the browser tab and often used as the main heading on the page.
URL
The URL path where the page is accessible (e.g., /about-us
). This should be short, descriptive, and unique.
Meta Description
A brief but powerful summary of the page’s content that appears in search engine results beneath the title. A well-crafted meta description can significantly increase your click-through rate by attracting users to visit your site over competitors. Think of it as your page’s elevator pitch to search engines and potential visitors.
Published
Controls whether the page is live on the site. Unpublished pages are saved as drafts and not accessible to the public.
Make Nonindexable
Prevents search engines from indexing the page.
- Why use it?: You might want to check this for pages that aren’t meant for public discovery—like thank-you pages, internal tools, or temporary content.
- Why not?: If you want your page to appear in Google or other search results, leave this unchecked.
