Your site is a set of pages: a home page, a portfolio, an about page, a contact page. The menu is the row of links at the top of the site that takes visitors from one page to another.

Pages and menu are two separate things. A new page is not in the menu until you add it. This way you can prepare a page in peace, or keep a page out of the menu on purpose (a private gallery, a thank-you page).

This guide shows you how to add and rename pages, how to build your menu and how to group pages with categories.

Add a page

In the editor, press the + button in the top bar (or the + at the top of the Pages panel).
In Create page, type the Page title, for example “Weddings”. The page's web address is made from the title.
Under Start from a preset (optional), keep Blank page or press Browse templates to start from a page that already has blocks.
Press Create. The editor opens the new page, ready for its first block (see Blocks).

A new page is a draft and is not in the menu yet. In the Pages panel you'll find it under Not in the menu.

Find your pages

Click Pages in the left bar. The panel lists every page of your site:

In the menu and Not in the menu — the two groups tell you at a glance which pages visitors can reach from the menu.
The house icon marks your home page. It's always at the top and it can't be deleted.
The small dot at the end of each row shows the page's state: Published, Draft — unpublished changes or Never published.

Move the mouse over a page to see its buttons: Page options, Pin to top, Duplicate and Delete. Use the search and the Sort button when your site has many pages.

Rename a page

In the Pages panel, move the mouse over the page and press Page options (the sliders icon). Or open the page and press Page options at the top right of it.
Change the Page Title.
If you want, change the URL Slug too: it's the last part of the page's address, like /weddings.

Tip: changing the title doesn't change the menu link. The menu has its own labels, so you can call a page “Weddings” in the menu and “Wedding photography in Tuscany” in its title.

Build your menu

The menu lives in the header, the band at the top of every page.

Click Layout in the left bar and open Header. (Or move the mouse over the header on the page and press Edit header.)
Press Menu items. You see the links of your menu, in order.
Press Add. A New link appears at the bottom.
Type the label visitors will read, then choose the page it opens.
To change the order, drag a link up or down. To remove one, press the bin next to it.

The menu is part of your site's layout, shared by every page. When you've finished, press Publish settings in the top bar to show the new menu to visitors.

Remember: a menu link to a page that is still a draft is hidden from visitors. When you publish, the app warns you with Unpublished pages in the menu. Publish that page too, and the link appears.

Group pages with categories

Categories are useful when you have many pages of the same kind, like one page per wedding or per shoot. You put them in a category, and a Category Gallery block shows them all on one page, with their cover photos. When you add a new page to the category, the gallery shows it too.

Click Categories in the left bar and press New Category.
Give it a Name (for example “Weddings”) and, if you like, a Cover Image.
Under Pages in this category, choose the pages that belong to it.
Tick Create a page with a Category Gallery block if you want a ready page that lists them. It's created as a draft.

You can also give a page its category from Page options. A page can belong to more than one category.

Good habits

Keep the menu short. Five or six links are plenty. Put the rest in the footer or in a category.
Use short, clear labels. “Weddings”, “About”, “Contact” work better than long sentences.
Publish before you link. Finish a page, publish it, then add it to the menu.
Use Duplicate to make a new page that looks like one you already have: it keeps all its blocks.
When you're ready to go online, read Publish your website.
