Creating and publishing pages

Pages are the content pages of your shop, such as About, Contact and Delivery & Returns. You manage them under Storefront, then Pages. Write a page in the editor, or design it in the page builder.

Considerations

• A page goes live when you click Publish, or when you set it as published from the list. The Make page visible to customers box on the new page form does not publish it on its own.
• A Draft page is hidden from customers.
• Deleted pages go to the trash and can be restored.
• Your homepage is not on this list. It is the Home template under Storefront, then Templates.

Create a page

1. From your Orbit dashboard, go to Storefront, then Pages.
2. Click Create page. A blank New Page form opens.
3. Enter a Title, for example About Us. The URL handle and the search listing fill in from it.
4. Write your content in Body.
5. Under Search engine listing, check the Page title, up to 70 characters. Add a Meta description of up to 160 characters. The Preview shows how the page will look in search results.
6. Check the URL handle. This is the end of the web address customers use to reach the page.
7. Click Publish to put the page live. The message Page published appears and the Edit Page screen opens.

To keep working on the page without customers seeing it, click Save draft instead.

Edit a page

1. Go to Storefront, then Pages.
2. Hover over the page's row and click Settings. The Edit Page screen opens.
3. Change the title, body, search engine listing or URL handle.
4. Under Visibility, you can also:
   • Tick Make page visible to customers to publish, or untick it to hide the page.
   • Set Visible from (optional) to schedule when the page goes live.
   • Tick Hide from search results to keep the page out of your storefront search. It stays reachable from links and menus.
5. Click Save in the Unsaved changes bar. The message Page saved appears.

Click View at the top to open the live page. The back arrow takes you to the Pages list.

Design a page in the page builder

1. Hover over the page's row and click Edit design. Clicking the row does the same. From the Edit Page screen, you can also click Edit in Page Builder.
2. Build the layout with sections and elements, then click Save.

Once a page uses the page builder, its visual content is edited there rather than in the Body field. See Building pages with sections and columns.

Publish or unpublish pages from the list

1. Tick the box beside one or more pages. A bar replaces the column headers.
2. Click Set as published to put them live, or Set as draft to hide them.

Delete or restore a page

1. Tick the page, click the ... button, then choose Delete pages.
2. Click Delete to confirm. The page moves to the trash and customers can no longer view it.

To restore a page, click the Page Status filter pill and choose Include Deleted. Tick the deleted page and click Restore pages.

Find a page

The list is grouped by when pages were last updated, such as Today or This week. Each row shows:

• Page Name: the title, with a small preview of the page.
• Handle: the page's URL handle.
• Visibility: Published (live), Draft (hidden) or Archived (retired).
• Updated: when the page last changed.

Click Add Filter or type in the Search by name or handle box to narrow the list.
