Adding a Page

Adding a Page

From the management section of your website, you're able to add pages to your existing store. There is no limit to what this page may include (text, banners, images, etc.) This may be to create a landing page for a certain type of product, add more information about the business, or have a page dedicated to directions/location if customer visits are a common occurrence. The steps below outline how to add one of these additional pages to your website.

1. Hover over the ‘Content’ tab and select ‘Pages’ from the drop-down list.
   
2. From the Pages screen, select ‘New Page’ in the top-right corner.
   
3. Next, you will see the page attributes screen. The only fields that are necessary here are 'Page Title' and 'Page URL', as highlighted in blue below. The Menu title is not mandatory but advised, for your reference – this can be the same as the Page Title line.
   
   
   • Page Title - The title that will appear on tabs/browsers when you are on this web page, as well as the title that will appear in page listings in the management section. Make this clear and professional, as it will be visible to your customers.
   • Menu Title - Optional field to define an alternative, shorter name that will appear on menus which include this page. If this field is left blank, the page title will appear in menus instead.
   • Page URL - This is the actual web address the new page will occupy. You only must specify the portion which appears after ‘.aimsmarter.com/', (for example, 'newproducts'). PLEASE NOTE this must contain alphanumeric characters ONLY. This means only letters and numbers; no symbols or spaces can be used.
   • Meta Description - This is the text that would show under the web link in search engines such as Google. It's best to make this short, but effective.
   • Meta Keywords - This is where you would list relevant keywords or SEO for the new page, so that search engines can pick up on them and place your page in result listings.
   • Meta Robots - These are keywords which interact with and provide special instructions to search robots.
   • Password Protect - If you wish to ensure that only a select number of people can access a page, you can enter a password here. Users will be asked for this password each time they try to access the page.

Once you're happy with the details entered, click 'Add New Page' in the top-right. Following this, you will see the same page as before with two additional options on top; 'Edit Layout & Contents' and 'View Page'. The former takes you to the page editor for this page. The latter allows you to view the page as a customer would see it. Information on how to edit your page can be found in the Editing Pages help sheet.

At this stage, the page has been created and is live on your site. The only thing we need to do is add a link so customers can reach it from your home page. The best way to do this is usually with a bookmark link in your navigation bar. Information on how to do this can be found in the Overall Layout help sheet.
