Use this while setting up your platform and whenever you need a new fixed page — a sponsorship page, a code of conduct, a contact form for one department. You need a role that includes static pages.

The default pages

Every platform starts with four pages: About, Contact, Terms and Privacy. They carry a lock badge in the list, and their web address can’t be changed, so links to them keep working. Replace their wording with your own before launch.

Create a page

  1. 1
    Start a new page

    Go to Studio → Library → Pages and click New page.

  2. 2
    Give it a title

    Enter a Title. Slug (URL) fills itself from the title; shorten it if you like, using lowercase letters, numbers and dashes.

  3. 3
    Choose a template

    Pick Plain for a title and formatted content, or Contact to add a contact form below the content.

The Studio
Studio → Library → Pages → New page, with the Contact template selected and two email recipients added
  1. 1
    Write the content

    Write the body in Content with the editor.

  2. 2
    Add recipients to a contact page

    Under Email recipients, add each address that should receive messages. Leave it empty to use your site’s default email.

  3. 3
    Choose visibility

    Under Publication, choose Published or Draft. Under Footer link, choose Visible in footer or Hidden from footer.

  4. 4
    Save and check

    Click Create page, then View live to see it as visitors will.

Order the footer

  1. 1
    Open the list

    Go to Studio → Library → Pages.

  2. 2
    Drag the rows

    Drag pages up or down. The footer order saves itself, and your site’s footer updates without a reload.

Search and sharing for a page

Each page has an SEO meta section with a Meta title (it uses the page title when empty), a Meta description and a Social share image. See Search & social previews.
