Pages

Pages are the core of every client site. Each page has a title, a slug, and a content tree you lay out in the visual builder, plus SEO and publishing controls in the page editor.

One rule to internalize before anything else: publishing a page does not change the live site. Publish updates the page's status in the CMS; the static site is only rebuilt when you press Deploy. See Preview, Publish, and Deploy.

The Pages List#

Pages in a site's sidebar lists every page with its status (draft or published) and last-updated time. From here you can:

• Create a new page
• Edit a page (opens the page editor)
• Use the row actions menu to Copy, Preview, or Delete a page (copies land as drafts)
• Open a page with Edit, then Open in Builder to edit the layout

Creating a Page#

1. Open Pages and click New Page
2. A draft called "Untitled Page" is created and the visual builder opens on it, so you can start building straight away
3. Back in the page editor (Edit on the page's row), set the Title and the Slug

Slugs#

The slug is the page's URL path, edited in the sidebar. A new page starts with a placeholder slug, and the slug does not follow the title, so set it yourself.

• Slugs are unique per site, so two different client sites can both have an about page.
• Which page serves at the site root is chosen by the Home Page selector in the Technical tab, not by a magic slug.

Changing a Published Slug#

Renaming a published page's slug changes its URL, which breaks inbound links unless you redirect. After a slug change the editor shows a dismissible prompt offering to create a 301 redirect from the old URL to the new one. Accept it unless you have a specific reason not to. Redirects ship with the next deploy.

If the renamed page was the home page, the home-page setting follows the rename automatically.

The Page Editor#

Opening a page shows the editor: the main Page Content card (with the Open in Builder button) and tabbed cards for SEO, Social, Schema, Content, and Linking, plus sidebar controls.

Sidebar Controls#

Control	What it does
Status	Draft or Published
Slug	The URL path (see above)
Featured Image	The page's representative image, picked from the media library. Used as the SERP thumbnail and social fallback
Schedule Publish	Publish automatically at a future date and time
Page Password	Password-protect the page. Leave empty for public access
Cornerstone	Marks the page as pillar content you want to funnel internal links toward

Drafts, Publishing, and Scheduling#

• A draft is only visible in the CMS and the builder preview - never on the live site.
• Publishing marks the page ready for the live site. It still requires a Deploy to appear.
• Scheduled publish flips the page to published at the chosen time. The flip is automatic, but the deploy is not: schedule the content, then deploy after the scheduled time (or as part of your next planned deploy) for it to go live.

Password Protection#

Setting a Page Password gates the page behind a password prompt. The protected content is encrypted in the published output, not just hidden, so the static file does not leak the body.

---

Internal Links#

When a button or link in the builder points at another page, use the internal page picker rather than typing the URL. Picked links store a stable reference to the target page, so they keep working even if that page's slug is later renamed - the rendered link always resolves to the current URL.

The editor's Linking tab helps you build internal-link coverage: it surfaces the site's other pages (cornerstone pages first) as link candidates.

---

Content / SEO Analysis#

The Content / SEO analysis panel scores the page against the Focus Keyword you set in the SEO tab:

• keyword presence in the title, H1, meta description, slug, and body
• readability scoring of the body copy
• character counters on the meta title and description (length is shown, not scored)
• a live SERP preview (how the result looks in Google) and a social-card preview
• a headings outline showing the page's H1-H6 structure at a glance

Treat it as a checklist, not a law: fix the red items, consider the yellows, and keep the copy written for humans. Per-page SEO fields themselves are covered in Page SEO.

Summary#

Task	Where
Create / duplicate / delete a page	Pages list
Build the layout	Open in Builder, on the page editor
Change the URL	Slug field (+ accept the 301 prompt if published)
Publish later	Schedule Publish (deploy afterward)
Protect a page	Page Password
Optimize for search	SEO tab + Content / SEO analysis panel
Make it live	Deploy - publishing alone never touches the live site
