Introduction
A Web page is a formatted text file written in a programming language known as Hypertext Markup Language (HTML).A web page is your basic content container. Web pages generally use a website template to wrap them in a consistent look and feel. Almost every type of content in the system needs to be added to a page to be viewed on the website.
Creating a Web Page - through admin interface
Creating a web page is also very simple, and like a template starts with two basic steps:
- Enter the web pages details
- Enter the web pages content
However web pages can be further customized including:
- Meta Data for computers reading your web pages, such as search engines
- Secure Zones - to make your web page secure
- RSS Channels to syndicate your web page
When entering the details of a web page, you need to choose which Template to use with this page. If you do not wish to use a template choose the Don't use a template option.
Also note the difference between a Page URL and the Page Name. The Page URL should end in .html or .htm, and forms the latter part of the web address of that page - which you can see underneath the URL heading. The Page Name is a friendly name and is manly used by the breadcrumbs and sitemap modules. It is also used to identify the web page within the administration system.
Release Date and Expiry Date allow you to release a web page in the future and expire the content of the web page when it is no longer valid. Its a set and forget approach that enables you to add your web pages in advance and have them automatically appear and then disappear from your website.
Start Page
When you nominate a page as a start page, this page will be the first page that's displayed when someone lands on your site. The page can be called anything and it doesn't need to be called index.htm or default.htm.
Enable
You can uncheck Enabled to make the page temporarily inaccessible, and check Deleted to delete the page permanently. Ensure you select Save & Publish to finalize your changes.
More Options
Click Show More Options to set up a workflow and upload and download files just like for templates. Unlike templates, pages have a Role Responsible. The members of this role are notified 7-days before the web page expires.
Every time you publish your web page a copy of the web page is archived at that time. This enables you to rollback to any previous version and is useful if you have made a mistake and need to go back to where you started. To use this feature simply choose Audit & roleback from the Action Box.
You will see a list of archived copies for this web page. You can preview past versions and rollback. This option is also available for Templates. Please note that archives are kept for 90 days only.
After editing the content of your page, you can add Meta Data to your page by clicking onto Add metadata to Web Page. All the basic meta data tags are already provided to you. However the meta data framework built into this system allows you to create your own meta data tags.
If you want to make your web page secure, click on Make Web Page secure and move your web page from left to right by assigning it to one or more Secure Zones. You can create an unlimited number of Secure Zones and manage your customer’s subscription to each Secure Zone. This is discussed in a later topic.
If you want to syndicate your web page content via RSS, add your page to an RSS Channel by moving the channels you'd like the web page to be in to right hand box. You can create an unlimited number of RSS Channels. This is discussed in a later topic.
301 Redirect field
This field will allow you to redirect visitors to this page to another page or resource by placing the URL into the field provided or by clicking the square next to the field and selecting the item you wish to redirect to.
301 redirect is useful because it will keep the search engine rating and if the resource is moved it will not have any effect on your site's SEO.
Changing Web page Title
To change the page title all you have to do is go to that page in Website -> Web Pages in Admin. You then need to click on the name of the page you want to change the title for and on Page Properties button and the Page Properties Manager window will come up.
In that window you need to enter the title into an appropriate field, thinking about SEO in the process, and click OK. Then you need to click Save and Publish to make the page live.
