Creating a Website Page
How to create a new custom website page, what each field does, and what happens after you save it.
Open My Website, switch to Pages, and click New Page. This popup creates a custom page only. Built-in pages such as Home, Contact, and Request Quote are already there and are edited separately.
Fields In The Popup
- Page title: the main internal and on-page name for the page. As you type, Work Planner uses it to fill the slug automatically until you replace the slug yourself.
- Page slug: the end of the public URL, such as
about-us. This must stay unique on this website and can only use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. - Navigation label: the shorter label shown in the public website menu. Leave this close to the title unless you need something shorter for the header.
- Enabled: turn this on if the page should be live as soon as it is created. Turn it off if you want to create the page now and finish the content later.
- Show in navigation: controls whether the page appears in the website menu. This can stay off for landing pages, thank-you pages, or pages you only want to reach from buttons and links.
A Good Way To Fill It In
- Start with the title: this gives you a sensible slug and a clear name in the Pages list.
- Check the slug before saving: it is easier to settle the public address now than after you have already linked to it from other pages.
- Decide whether visitors should see it in the menu: that choice is separate from whether the page itself is live.
- Create draft pages disabled if needed: that lets you build the content without exposing a half-finished page to visitors.
What Happens After Save
- The page appears in the Pages list: you can find it straight away with the search box.
- The page is treated as a custom page: that means you can open it again to add SEO settings, attach a gallery, and build the page body in the custom editor.
- The slug becomes the public path: if the page is enabled, visitors can open that address even if the page is hidden from navigation.
