What are Pages?
Pages are parts of a website that expand your home page which your visitors can navigate to, to explore different and additional content. Examples Pages include a Privacy Policy, Blog Post, and a Product or Service.
You can create as many Pages as you like and customise galleries and calls to action on each of them. You can also include links to these pages in the footer section of your website and in other pages you create.
Note
Products are created in a different way to Pages and you cannot create a Page and convert it to a Product. When creating a Product a Page for it is automatically created, see How do I create a new Product?
How do I create a new Page?
To create a new Page, do the following:-
- First tap or click Pages from the menu;

- Page tags (separate each with a comma (,)) - We use tags to categorise your page, and group similar page subjects together, this can help your visitors jump to other pages that have the same tag. These are generally optional, but including them can help boost your on page SEO. If you have used tags on other pages you have created, they will be displayed below. Simply tap or click one of them to add them as a tag for this page too. Be sure to separate each tag with a comma. Tags are not to be confused with hashtags that are used on social platforms, or marketing campaign tags, like the ones in Google Tag Manager.

- Is this a policy page? - Policy Pages are Pages such as Terms of Service, Privacy Statement, Refund Policy, and Copyright Notice.

If you need policy content wording, head back here after you have created the Page, and then tap or click the 'Regenerate' link that will appear below, which will then replace the Page Content with some templated wording to get you started with that specific policy. See, What is a Policy Page? for more details.
- Parent Page - If this Page is the Child of another Page, then select the Parent page here. This will make the current Page a 'Child' of the Parent Page, often referred to as a sub-page. When viewing a Parent Page there will be links to its children so that your visitors can easily jump to related pages.

- Read more button text - Some templates will show a read more button or link when displaying a summary box of this page. For example in the Pages section of the home page or on the search screen. Customise this text to prompt the user to tap or click to see the full Page. You will want to keep this between 4-5 words and avoid using generic terms like 'Read More', or 'Click Here'.
- Make this a Featured Page? - Featured pages take display priority over other Pages. This is handy if you have pages with key content that you want your visitors to see first on your home page.
