Pages & menus
Pages are the separate screens of your site. Menus are how visitors move between them.
Pages
Open Site Structure in the builder to see every page, add one, or switch to it.
For each page you can:
- Rename it - click the page title to rename in place.
- Duplicate it, which copies all its content. The fastest way to make a second service page.
- Set it as the home page - the page people land on at your address.
- Delete it. Not the home page, which every site must have.
- Publish or unpublish it individually - a page can exist while being off the live site.
Page settings
Page Settings in the top bar holds the settings for the page you are on:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Page URL | The address, after your domain. /about, /services. Change it and old links to that page break, so change it early. |
| Page Type | What kind of page it is, which affects how it is treated. |
| Meta Title | The clickable line in Google results. |
| Meta Description | The grey summary beneath it. |
| Twitter / X Card | How the page looks when shared on social media. |
| Exclude from sitemap | Keeps the page out of the sitemap you hand to search engines. |
| Require a password / Page password | Locks the page behind a password. Useful for a draft page or a client preview. |
Menus
Menus are edited in Settings > Navigation Menu, and also from the builder.
Add an item and give it a label and a destination. Drag rows to reorder or nest - dragging one item under another makes it a dropdown child. Then Save changes.
Writing a menu people can use
- Five or six top-level items. Past that, nobody reads them.
- Say what the page is. "Pricing" beats "Options"; "Contact" beats "Reach out".
- Only nest when there is a real group. A dropdown with one item is a menu item wearing a costume.
- Put the action last. "Book now" or "Shop" at the right end, where the eye finishes.
Good to know
- A page can be in the menu without being published, and published without being in the menu. They are separate switches, and getting one without the other is the usual cause of "my page is missing".
- Menu changes go live at the next publish, like everything else.
