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

Creating a Page

  • Go to Content > Create Content > Page

  • Add page Title

  • Select a Section

The banner image from the assigned section or subsection will automatically carry over to every page assigned to that section.

  • If you would like to customize the banner image for a particular page, click the browse/choose file button, select an image and click the upload button in the Banner Image section

Your banner image must be exactly 1600x225 px.

  • Add your content to the Body field

  • See below about optional fields

  • You will see a field named: Page URL

    • The value in this field is what will build the url for this page. It will auto-populate with the page title by default. If you would like use something different (like faq instead of frequently asked questions), this is where you make that change.

Prepositions like “to” and “of” will be dropped from the URL structure. All letters will be lowercase and all punctuation/spaces will be removed.

  • In the Menu Settings section, select Provide a Menu Link

  • Enter the Menu Link Title

  • 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

  • Click Save to publish your content
