The most common content type you will use across your site is the Page. Pages fall under both sections and subsections and carry highly specific content.
For instance, if you have a section entitled About, you may want to highlight how your college interacts with the community. Since you would want to list specific community-related initiatives and events, a Page is the perfect place to do this.
Instructions
Go to Content > Create Content > Page
The banner image from the assigned section or subsection will carry over to every page assigned to that section.
Add your content to the Body field
In the Menu Settings section, select Provide a Menu Link
Provide a Description of the page (this is important for search engine optimization and for ADA compliance)
Assign the page to the main section of the site it will appear under, called the Parent Item
The menu link title should match the page title, since the section front pages are specifically meant to summarize the section.
The Weight determines where in the navigation menu the title of the page will appear (the lower the weight, the higher the term will be in the menu)
Now, click the URL Path Settings option below the Menu Settings link
This is where you change the URL from a node to a user-friendly link (you can select “Generate automatic URL alias” and Drupal will use the page title and section title to generate the URL)
Prepositions like “to” and “of” will be dropped from the URL structure. If you choose to create your own alias, the alias should show both the parent section and the child section.
