Adding and Editing Homepage Content and Other Website Pages




Editing Pages

To edit information pages (like About Us, Contact Us and Privacy Policy pages) as well as the homepage content, you can do it through the Manage Templates area of the admin. All of those pages are called:

page_pagename.html – where "pagename" is the name that you assign to the page. So they all start with “page_” and are pretty easy to recognize by the name.

  • The Homepage content is in the page_welcome.html template.
  • The About Us page is the page_about_us.html template.
  • The Privacy Policy page is the page_privacy_policy.html template.
  • and so on...

NOTE: Do NOT use the Advanced Editor to update your main_index.html template (which is the main template for your site). There is php coding along with HTML and the Advanced Editor is only for editing HTML.

Adding New Pages

To add new pages, you can simply go to the Manage Templates area and click the link to add a new page. MAKE SURE you name the new page: page_yourpagename.html

So keep the same format with the page_ before your pagename and the .html after. Make it ALL LOWERCASE with NO SPACES. Only use numbers, letters, dashes and underscores in your page names.

To link to this new page from somewhere on your site, use the following format:

http://www.yourdomain.com/catalog/yourpagename.html

So for example if you add a page with the filename: page_links.html, then the link to it would be:

http://www.yourdomain.com/catalog/links.html

You could then add a link to that page from anywhere on your site. See below...

Adding the Link to your Site

If you are using one of the built in templates or have an Information box on your custom design, to add a link to the new page you would create the page and then add the link (using the URL formula above) to the table_information.html template. In there you will see the list of page links. Add yours where desired. You can use the Advanced Editor in this template.
