How To Manage Site Pages in Website Builder
Creating your website is made easy with the Website Builder platform, especially when you can start it off by selecting a professional-looking Template that best suits your purpose. Once you've nailed that, you can move on to customising your site with your own content, images, and media.
With Website Builder, you can configure your website pages as how you want them to be. Here are the things that you can do with your website pages:
- Add a Website Page
- Configure Page Settings
- Convert a Page into a Subpage
- Hide a Website Page
- Delete a Website Page
Add a Website Page
Follow the steps below to add a page to your website.
- Log in to your Website Builder editor.
- Click PAGES.
3. Click ADD.
4. Select PAGE.
5. Choose the type of page that you want to create.
The new page will show at the bottom of the list. Proceed to configure the page settings to rename it.
- BLANK — Click this if you want to design the new page from scratch.
- DUPLICATE — This is convenient if you want to have the new page almost like an existing one.
- TEMPLATE — Select this to browse a variety of templates that you can use for the new page.
Configure Page Settings
You can configure the name and URL of your website page in the PAGE SETTINGS. The steps below will show you how.

- Click PAGES.
- Hover your cursor to the page that you want to configure and click the gear icon.
4. Edit and enter the details in the boxes provided for the following:
- NAME — Edit the name of the website page. This is the name that shows in the drop-down menu of your website.
- URL — This is the information that will show at the end of the website’s URL whenever this page is accessed. This is unique to each page on the website.
- TITLE — This is optional but important as this can impact the website’s SEO. You can come up with the title as to what the website page is all about.
- DESCRIPTION — This is also optional and important for SEO purposes. You can describe the website page in this field.
5. Click the SET AS HOMEPAGE button if you want this current page to be the homepage of your website. Otherwise, skip this step. The HIDE PAGE button is also available when necessary.
The changes made will take effect right after publishing the website.
Convert a Page into a Subpage
Follow the steps below to assign a lower-level page to an existing normal webpage on your website. This is useful if you want to categorise your website pages in the menu.
- Log in to your Website Builder editor.

- Select the subpage and drag it below the webpage where you like to assign it. A connector should show once it’s successful. This indicates that the webpage below is a sublevel of the webpage above it. See the screenshot below for reference.
This is how you convert a page into a subpage.
This is how it shows on the menu bar on the website.
