Creating a Page
Most pages are designed to be read by search engines first, and by people second. Keep in mind the needs of each of these two very different audiences when choosing the page title, URL key, and meta data, as well as when writing the content. The process of adding a new page to your store is essentially the same for adding a new home page, or any other type of page. You can include text, images, blocks of content, variables, and widgets.
Step 1: Add a New Page
|
1.
|
On the Admin menu, select CMS > Pages > Manage Content. |
|
2.
|
Click the Add New Page button. |
|
3.
|
In the Page Information section, do the following: |
Page Information
|
a.
|
Enter a Title for the new page. |
|
b.
|
Enter a URL Key for the page that is based on the Title. Use all lowercase characters, with hyphens instead of spaces. |
The URL Key is added to the base URL to create the online address for the page.
|
c.
|
In the Store View list, select each view where this page will be available. |
|
d.
|
Set Status to “Disabled.” (This will be changed when the page is ready to publish.) |

With the required fields complete, click the Save and Continue Edit button. |
