Creating and editing pages

Pages are the main building blocks of your website. Strengthen → Content → Pages shows your pages as a tree, one branch per website. Pick a page to edit it, add sub-pages beneath it, and publish your changes straight away or schedule them.

Before you start

• Content must be included in your subscription's package. See Package and add-ons.
• You need permission to view pages, and permission to create pages to add new ones. Ask a subscription administrator if a button you expect is missing. See Users, teams, groups and permissions.
• Every page needs an Author, so create at least one author first. See Blog categories and authors.
• Your website must already be set up by an administrator in Account → Settings → Content. See Content settings.

If a Content screen shows Unavailable, select Try again.

How the page tree works

Each website has one row at the top of the tree, showing the website name and its homepage, for example "My Site — Home". Every other page sits underneath the homepage, and a page's web address is built from its parents, so a page with the URL "team" under "about" lives at /about/team.

• A row shown in red is not enabled, so visitors can't see it.
• Drag a page to a new position to reorder it or move it under a different parent.
• Right-click a page to Add Page beneath it, open Preview Page, Clear Frontend Cache, Enable or Disable it, or Delete it. Which options you see depends on the page and your permissions.
• If a website doesn't have a homepage yet, its row shows an Add Root Page button.

Create a page

• Step 1: Go to Strengthen → Content → Pages.
• Step 2: Select the page you want the new page to sit under. You can also right-click it and choose Add Page, then skip to step 4.
• Step 3: Open the Add Page menu below the tree and choose Add Page.
• Step 4: If your organisation has more than one page template, choose one, for example Default Page or Landing Page.
• Step 5: Fill in the fields on each tab. URL and Author are required.
• Step 6: Select Publish now, or open the Actions menu (the button next to it) and choose Save Draft instead.

If you have more than one website, the Add Page menu appears once you've selected a page.

Create a homepage

• Step 1: Select Add Root Page on the website's row in the tree. If you have only one website, you can also choose Add Root Page from the Add Page menu below the tree.
• Step 2: Fill in the page and select Publish now.
• Step 3: Ask a subscription administrator to choose the new page as the website's Root Page in Account → Settings → Content. See Content settings.

A new homepage only appears in the tree, with its sub-pages beneath it, once it has been chosen as the website's Root Page.

The page fields

The fields you see depend on the page template your administrator has set up. The standard template includes:

• General: Name, Short Description and Page Body. The page body uses the page builder: select Open Builder, add components from the Component Library, drag them into order and edit each one in the Inspector.
• Media: Image and Thumbnail Image.
• SEO: URL, Meta Title, Meta Description and Author. If you leave Meta Title empty, the page name is used when you save. The homepage has no URL field because it always sits at the root of the website.
• Information: Site Layout, where you choose a Header Layout and a Footer Layout or leave Use default. Each has its own Include child pages tick box, which applies that layout to every page beneath this one. See Site layout.

The Landing Page template adds a Lead Generation tab (for example Conversion Goal, CTA Label and CTA URL), Image Alt Text on the Media tab, and Canonical URL and Structured Data on the SEO tab.

Once a page has been saved, you also see Versions (a history of saved versions), Review History (preview reviews and publishing sign-off) and Comments, where your team can discuss the page.

Publish, save as a draft or schedule

The buttons at the bottom right of the editor control what happens to your changes:

• Publish now makes your changes live and returns you to the page list. Publish and continue in the Actions menu publishes and keeps the editor open.
• Save Draft keeps your changes as a draft without changing the live page. Use Edit Draft to return to it later, Exit Draft to go back to the live version, or Delete Draft to discard it.
• Schedule asks for a Go live at date and time and saves your changes to go live then.
• Schedule with revert asks for both Go live at and Revert at, which is useful for a promotion that should end automatically. Revert at must be after Go live at.

When you change a page's URL, or move it so its address changes, Structurell creates a permanent redirect from the old address to the new one and updates links to it in your other pages, posts and categories. See Redirects.

To remove a page, select Delete at the bottom left of the editor, or right-click the page in the tree.

Preview and review

Once a page has been saved, select Preview to open it in a new tab using your website's own design. The preview updates as you edit, before you save.

If your organisation uses publishing sign-off, the Review History tab shows a Publishing Sign-off panel. Select Submit for review to send the current version to its approval stages. Reviewers choose Approve version or Request changes, giving a reason for any changes. If the content changes during review, older decisions no longer apply. A scheduled change that needs sign-off waits until it has been approved.

Use AI to improve a page

If your package includes AI for Content, an AI button appears at the bottom left of the editor. Choose Writing assistant to get a rewrite of the content, the SEO metadata or both. You review each proposed change before anything is applied, and nothing is saved until you publish or save a draft. See AI content suggestions.

Notes

• If your web developer adds new page-builder components to your website, right-click the website's homepage row and choose Import Elements to load them into the Component Library.

Troubleshooting

• The Add Page menu is missing: select a page in the tree first, and check that you have permission to create pages.
• A new homepage doesn't appear in the tree: it hasn't been chosen as the website's Root Page yet. See Content settings.
• A page doesn't appear on the website: check that it is enabled, it isn't still a draft, and any Go live at time has passed. If it still doesn't appear, right-click the page and choose Clear Frontend Cache.
