Manage pages

This is the first question that often arises when you create a new website: what will my website pages be? How will these pages be organized? Easily create your website structure.

Add or delete a page

To select and open a page, just click on its name in the Pages tab.

Add a page

add page

When you add a page, two questions arise.

1. Name in the menu: the name of the page is the name displayed in the menu(s) of the website. You can use the accented or special characters (punctuation, dash, apostrophe, etc.)

What about the name of the page in the URL?
Here are some details for experts: the name of the page in the URL is automatically generated and you can customize it thanks to the SEO button in the Pages tab.

2. Add to menus: if your website already has menus, you can directly tick the menus in which you want the new created page to be visible (including the menu for mobile phones)

Then just click on the Add page button [3]. The new page is added after the selected page and becomes the new active page.

Delete a page

The recycle bin is used for deleting the selected page. If a page has subpages, it’s also possible to delete its subpages.

Rename a page

You have different possibilities to rename your pages: from the menu, or the SEO panel.

From the menu

Here is the first method to rename a page. Click your menu and then go to the Content panel to click Manage pages.

background page

A window will open, and you will be able to:

  • Change your page name

  • Choose the pages to display in your menu

  • Define on which pages your menu is displayed

manage menu on sitew

In the column Page name, you can rename your page, and then click Update.

From the SEO panel

The second method just requires a few clicks to rename your page. From the SEO panel, click the Pages panel to access all your pages.

Then to go to the SEO panel, click one of your pages and go to the SEO tab. In this tab, you have a section called Name in the menu where you can rename your page. The name changes immediately.

Background page

The principle

The background page is not a real page of your website, and it will be invisible in your website menus. The background page specifically has the blocks common to all the pages of your website.

If all the pages of your website have the same header with a logo, a picture, a title and a menu, it’s useless to duplicate these blocks page after page. Just add them to the background page.

An example

example of background

The background page has the following header (Text block, Image block, Menu block)

On the first page, you have the background header and the page’s own contents

On the Tutorial 2 page, you have the same header and the page’s own contents

The Tutorial 3 page has a Video block, and the header is already here!

For the background blocks, the selection frame is pinky.

The Menu blocks always belong to the background page.

Unpublish a page

Advanced feature
Info premium
This feature is only available for Advanced Showcase and upper packages.

You can make the pages of your choice inaccessible for your visitors. Thus, you can work on your unfinished pages serenely, without risking that these pages are accessible to everybody.

💡 The Unpublish feature isn’t available for homepages and background pages.

To unpublish a page, go to the Pages tab. Then, select a page and click on the SEO tab > Unpublish the page.

Made it! You are the only one who can see your page from the editor. Your page is invisible for your visitors on the online version. 🙌

After having unpublished the page:

  • The menu won’t display the links that lead to unpublished pages.

  • The buttons and icons that lead to an unpublished page won’t be displayed.

  • The unpublished pages are no longer indexed in the Search block for your visitors.

Important information
Info warning
If an unpublished page has one or more subpages, these subpages are automatically unpublished too.
