The process of adding a content page to your store is essentially the same for any type of page that you might want to create. You can include text, images, blocks of content, variables, and widgets. Most content pages are designed for reading by search engines first, and by people second. Keep the needs of each of these two different audiences in mind when choosing the page title, and URL, and when composing the meta data, and content. When your page is complete, it can be added to your store navigation, linked to other pages, linked from the footer of your store, or used as a new home page.

Add a page

The following instructions walk you through each step to create a basic page. Some advanced features are skipped over, but are covered in other topics.

Step 1: Create the page

  1. On the Admin sidebar, go to Content > Elements > Pages.

  2. Click Add New Page.

    New Page {width="600" modal="regular"}

  3. If you do not want to publish the page immediately, set Enable Page to No.

  4. Enter the Page Title.

    The page title appears in the breadcrumb navigation.

Step 2: Complete the content

Depending on your Advanced Content Tools configuration, add the page content.

Use the Page Builder content tools

  1. Expand Expansion selector Content.

    Content with Page Builder {width="600" modal="regular"}

  2. In the Content Heading box, enter the heading that you want to appear at the top of the page.

    If enabled, the Page Builder stage and panel appear below the Content Heading. For more information, see Workspace. If Page Builder is not enabled, the editor opens in WYSIWYG mode with the toolbar at the top.

  3. Complete the content, and format the text as needed.

Use the editor toolbar

  1. Expand Expansion selector Content.

    Content {width="600" modal="regular"}

  1. Expand Expansion selector Search Engine Optimization.

    Search Engine Optimization {width="600" modal="regular"}

  3. Enter a Meta Title for the page.

    The meta-title should contain fewer than 70 characters and appears in the browser title bar and tab.

  4. Enter your choice of high-value Meta Keywords that search engines can use to index the page.

    Separate multiple words with a comma. Meta keywords are ignored by some search engines, but used by others.

  5. For Meta Description, enter a brief description of the page for search results listings.

    Ideally, the description should be 150-160 characters in length, with a maximum limit of 255.

  6. Click Save.

Step 4: Specify the scope of the page

  1. Expand Expansion selector Page in Websites.

    Pages in Websites {width="600" modal="regular"}

  2. In the Store View list, select each view where the page is to be available.

    If the installation has multiple websites, select each website and store view where the page is to be available.

    • A unique, but temporary URL Key is assigned.
    • The Status of the page is Disabled.

  6. Open the duplicate page in Edit mode and do the following:

    • If you want to publish the page immediately, set Enable Page to Yes.

    • Update the Page Title, as needed.

    • Expand Expansion selector the Search Engine Optimization section and enter the unique URL Key that you want to use for the duplicate page.

      Temporary URL key {width="600" modal="regular"}
