Create pages and add content to your website

Easol website themes are designed to sell any experience, anywhere. Each theme sets the design of your website and contains a block library that you can use to build your website’s pages and content.

How to create a new website page

Create with page layouts

Page layouts are pre-built pages created with your theme's blocks by UX experts. This is a quick and easy way to create pages. All page layouts can be customised — you can edit content, add and remove blocks.

1. Go to Site and select the site version you'd like to update.
2. Click on Add a page and give your page a title. Hit Create.
3. Next, select a page layout (e.g. Homepage).
4. To edit the page content, hover your cursor over the preview and click the pencil icon. In the sidebar, fill in the block's fields — the available fields depend on the type of block you’re adding. 
5. To add blocks to the page, hover your cursor over the preview between the header and footer, click Add Block and select a block from the block library. Your theme determines what blocks are available. Learn more about using the block library.
6. Preview changes instantly. Hit Save.
7. In the sidebar, click Back to page and select Publish to make the page public and viewable by everyone.

Create with blank page

Use a blank layout page to build a page from scratch with blocks.

1. Go to Site and select the site version you'd like to update.
2. Click on Add a page and give your page a title. Hit Create.
3. Next, select Create a blank page.
4. To add content to the new page, hover your cursor over the preview between the header and footer, click Add Block and select a block from the block library. Your theme determines what blocks are available. Learn more about using the block library.
5. Preview changes instantly. Hit Save.
6. To continue building out your page, click Add Block above or below your existing block in the live preview. 
7. In the sidebar, click Back to page and select Publish to make the page public and viewable by everyone.

How to duplicate an existing website page

1. Go to Site and select the site version you'd like to update.
2. Locate the page you'd like to duplicate and click the three-dot icon.
3. Select Duplicate.
4. You will be redirected to a copy of the page you duplicated. Edit the page and blocks as usual.
   • Tip: Clean up the URL of the new page by changing the link.
5. Click Publish to make the page public and viewable for everyone.

Note: All blocks and their content will be duplicated, however, metadata will not.

How to turn a page into a homepage

1. Go to Site and select the site version you'd like to update.

How to change the URL of a page

1. Go to Site and select the site version you'd like to update.
2. Select a page.

After changing a URL, we recommend creating a 301 redirect to ensure anyone who visits the old URL will get redirected to the new URL.

Guidelines for formatting URL slugs

1. Use a short, memorable URL to make it easier for visitors to find and share your content.
2. Separate each word with a dash (-), for example /your-great-experience not /yourgreatexperience.
3. All letters should be lowercase.
4. Do not include special characters other than dashes (-).

How to delete a website page
