Creating Site Pages Creating Site Pages =================== Updated 1 week ago · 3 min read Search Search This article covers how to create and edit site pages, work with the content editor, and configure your default participation settings. What is a site page? -------------------- Site pages are standalone pages on your site that sit outside of projects. They are used for general-purpose content such as an About page, Privacy Policy, Contact page, or any custom page your site needs. Unlike project content, site pages are not tied to a specific consultation or engagement activity. All site pages are managed under **Content > Pages** in the admin menu. Most sites include a few standard pages beyond the home page. These are created and edited the same way as any other site page under **Content > Pages**. Common examples include: - **Home page** - **About us**: information about your organisation and its purpose. - **Privacy policy**: your site's privacy and data handling statement. Often located in footer. - **Terms of use**: conditions for using the site. Often located in footer. - **Contact**: how community members can get in touch. These pages can be linked in your site navigation menus. See [Setting Up Your Site](/articles/setting-up-your-site-basics) for how to update your menus. Creating a new site page ------------------------ ![The Pages list under Content, showing each page's title, status, author and date](/storage/whFROKeIJtzNPeJBF31y1NtQxjAqeribcFVdNxKk.png) To create a new site page: 1. Click **Content** in the left-hand menu. 2. Click **Pages**. 3. Click the **+** button in the top-right corner. 4. Enter a **Title** and **Summary**. 5. Add your content in the **Body** area using the rich text editor, or add content blocks below it. 6. Click **Publish** to make the page live, or **New draft** to save it as a draft. For a full guide on creating and editing pages, see [Create and edit basic site pages](/articles/9176541586319-Create-and-edit-basic-site-pages) or [Editing the site home page](/articles/9176489815567-Editing-the-site-home-page). The content editor ------------------ When editing any page (or project), the content editor is where you build your page content. It is made up of two parts: - [**Rich text editor**](/articles/9180044670223-How-to-use-the-Rich-Content-editor): the text area at the top of the Body section with a formatting toolbar. Use it for headings, bold and italic text, lists, links, images, tables, and embedded media. - [**Content blocks**](/articles/9179124696591-How-to-use-content-blocks-and-groups): reusable building blocks that you add below the body area. Blocks include rich text, events lists, maps, documents, image galleries, participation tools, and more. ### Rich text basics ![The Rich Content editor toolbar, with text style and formatting controls](/storage/AIEfcYdMDnYPAt8NQ8Ip1Tq41raJa11hoIDjhr1N.png) The rich text editor toolbar gives you access to common formatting options. Use it to: - Apply **headings** and **text styles**. - Create **bulleted** and **numbered lists**. - Insert **links**, **images**, and **tables**. - Embed **videos** and other media using oEmbed. - Add special elements like **accordions**, **quotes**, and **callout boxes**. For a full reference on all formatting options, see [How to use the Rich Content editor](/articles/9180044670223-How-to-use-the-Rich-Content-editor). ### Content blocks and groups ![The Add block and Add group buttons used to build a page](/storage/u1GCOGLK2e9ESklcrHwkmQGbwld1e3ixnstEhMbG.png) Content blocks let you add structured elements to your pages. You can also wrap blocks inside **groups** to create layouts like accordions, tabs, or multi-column sections. To add a content block: 1. On the page edit screen, scroll below the Body area. 2. Click **+ Add block**. 3. Choose a block type (e.g. Rich text, Events, Map, Documents, Participation tools). 4. Configure the block's content and settings. 5. Click **Done**. Groups let you wrap multiple blocks into layouts. For example, an **Accordion** group creates collapsible sections, and a **Columns** group places blocks side by side. For a complete guide on all block types and group layouts, see [How to use content blocks and groups](/articles/9179124696591-How-to-use-content-blocks-and-groups).
