Custom Page Editor
How the custom website page editor works, including the visual editor, HTML tab, content blocks, and inserting uploaded media.
The custom page editor is the part of the page form where you build the body of a custom website page. It gives you a visual editor for layout work and an HTML view when you want direct control over the markup.
Visual Editor And HTML
- Visual editor: the easier option for most pages. You add and rearrange sections on the canvas and use the editor controls to shape the layout.
- HTML: useful when you want to paste or fine-tune markup directly. Changes typed here save with the page.
- Apply HTML changes: reloads the visual editor from the HTML you have just written. Use this after hand-editing the markup if you want to carry on visually.
Blocks You Can Start With
- Section: a basic content section with a heading and paragraph.
- Two Columns: a split layout for side-by-side content.
- Call To Action: a ready-made section with text and a button.
- Text: a simple paragraph block.
- Button: a linked button you can point at another page or form.
- Image: a starter image block you can replace with your own uploaded media.
Inserting Uploaded Media
- Insert uploaded media: the image picker under the editor pulls from the Website Media library.
- Select one image: the insert button only becomes useful when you have chosen one image to place in the page.
- Alt text and caption come with it: the editor uses the saved alt text and caption from the media library when it inserts the image block.
When To Use HTML Instead
Switch to the HTML tab when you need cleaner control over the markup, need to paste a prepared section, or want to work with inline style tags directly. If you stay in HTML for large changes, check the page preview afterwards to make sure everything still behaves well on desktop and mobile.
What This Affects Elsewhere
Everything saved here becomes the live body of the custom page. Buttons can point visitors to other website pages such as Contact or Request Quote, inserted media reuses the shared website library, and any gallery attached to the page sits above or below this body depending on the gallery position setting.
