Create your first website page as a draft so you can shape the structure, copy, media placeholders, forms, and SEO basics before anything changes on the public site.

What this guide helps you do

• Create a new page in the Website workspace.
• Choose a practical URL path and page title.
• Add copy, sections, forms, and placeholder media for review.
• Preview the page before publishing.

Before you start

• Know the page purpose, audience, offer, call to action, and target URL.
• Have approved business details, service details, and any required legal or compliance language.
• Decide whether this page should start on a branch or in main.

Do it manually

1. Open Website and select the theme or site you want to edit.
2. Open the file explorer and create a page under the pages area, using a clear lowercase path with hyphens.
3. Add the first draft of the page structure, headings, body copy, call to action, form, and placeholder media.
4. Open Page Settings and add the page title, excerpt, slug, and basic SEO fields.
5. Use preview to check desktop and mobile layout, links, forms, and placeholder media.
6. Save a checkpoint before asking another person to review or before publishing.
