Lukas Gerbenis edited this page Dec 9, 2015 · 26 revisions

To create a new page on your website, click the “New Page” icon on the side menu. The page title (2), or H1 tag, is important for telling search engines what your page is about, so it should include your keywords. You have the option to edit the page URL (3) if you’d like it to differ from the one that is automatically generated from your page name. Next, select a template (4) for your page. This will determine where content regions are positioned and how all of the page information will be displayed.

Create page

  2. Add page title (the name of the page).

  3. Page URL will be created automatically depending on your entered title. If such URL already exists, system will add postfix (for example, if URL /my-page/ exists, /my-page-1/ will be created). URL can be changed any time, by clicking Edit link. Also, parent prefix will be added. if new page creating from URL /parent-page/, the URL /parent-page/my-page/ will be created.

  4. Select template from templates list. New templates can be registered in the Site Settings -> Templates dialog or created as .cshtml file at server side and uploaded by system administrator. You can read more here about templates.

Page access control

If access level is set to deny, users cannot view the current page. If access level set to read only, page will be opened in read only mode: all edit forms can be viewed, but not saved.

Note: If trying to save page with no one user/role, which have Read&Edit access level, exception occurs.
