Create a Page

You can add new pages to your website from the i:Create Content Management System (i:Create) workbench (back end).

To add a page:

  1. Select the vertical you want to create your new page under from the menu located on the left side of the screen
  2. Click the “Add+” button from the toolbar. This will open the “Create New Page” pop-up box
  3. Fill in the Create New Page fields

Create New Page fields

The following fields are required.

This should default based on the vertical you decided to add the page under. If this field is blank, select the appropriate vertical from the dropdown menu.

Select the template you'd like to use for this page from the dropdown menu, such as:

  • Interior
  • Interior Layout

If you'd like to use Layout Builder for the content on this page, you need to select the “Interior Layout” template.

Enter the name of your page. Make sure to follow content writing and SEO (search engine optimization) best practices when naming your new page.

These fields will automatically populate based on your page name.

The following fields are optional but should be filled in for best practices, accessibility and SEO.

Enter a brief page description that summarizes the information found on the page. Your description should be 155 characters or less.

If you want to add tag words to the page, select them from the dropdown list. Page tags can help you organize your pages and you can search by tag. For example, you may want to tag pages based on the department in your organization that is responsible for the content on the page.

To set up page tags:

  1. Select “More+” from the i:Create “Utility Bar” located in the i:Create workbench
  2. Choose “Page Tagging” from the dropdown menu
  3. Click the “+Create” button and then enter the name of the page tag you'd like to create
  4. Select the “Save” button to add this page tag option to your website

If you want to assign a custom image for social media sharing for this page, select an image from the File Manager. If you don't select an image, i:Create will default to your website logo. We recommend an image size of 1200 x 630.

Depending on the workflow and approval process for your website, you may want to assign one to your new page. Consult your website administrator before applying a workflow.

Internal notes allow you to write comments or notes about the page that are only visible to internal users, e.g., you may want to leave notes for one of your colleagues before they review the content.

You can add keywords for the page, but note that most search engines no longer use keywords in SEO.

Once you've completed filling in all necessary fields, click the “Save changes” button. Your new page will be added to the Page List located in the i:Create workbench.

Edit the page properties

To change any of the properties for your new page:

  1. Click the checkbox next to the page from the Page List
  2. Select the “Properties” button from the Page List toolbar
  3. This will take you to the “Edit Page Properties” pop-up box where you can make changes to the page properties and assign an owner to the page.

Update Menu Manager

If you add, delete, rename or copy a page, you need to update the page in Menu Manager.

Add content

Now that you've created a new page, you can add content.
