Pages are the lifeblood of your website and can be as simple or as complex as you need, featuring images, text, video or dynamic content such as image galleries, shop products and more.

This section explains the different types of pages that are available, and how they display within your web site's navigation and overall page structure.

The Main Menu

The Main Menu contains Pages, Links or Forms that appear in the main navigation menu on your website. 

Beneath your Home page you will see the names of any other existing pages/links in the navigation menu. Note that they appear in the exact same order at the front of your website as they do in the Main Menu. You can change the order of the items in the navigation bar at any time.

Beside each menu item title is an icon that indicates the page or link type. The icons are:

	Page: Indicates a content page to which you can add images, video, text or any dynamic content.
	Link: Indicates a menu item that links to an existing page or external website.
	Form: Indicates a form that users can complete and submit, e.g. enquiry or contact form.
	Shop: Indicates a link to a shop product, product category or your shopfront home page.

Unattached Pages

Unattached pages are pages that do not appear in your website’s main navigation menu such as a Form item’s ‘thank you’ page. Unattached pages are also ideal for “work-in-progress”, and enable you to work on the content of a page without the page being accessible to your website visitors. When you are happy with the content, the page can then be inserted into the Main Menu at any time.

When you remove a page from the Main Menu (via the Remove Page option inside the cog button) it becomes an Unattached Page . This is a great way to edit out-of-date content without completely deleting a page and starting from the beginning. 

To create an unattached page:

1. Go to Pages > Add / Edit Pages.
2. Click on the Add a page button located beneath the Unattached Pages menu 
3. Select Add a new page and click the Continue button.
4. Enter a Page Title : This will appear in the title bar of visitors’ web browsers and helps search engines to better classify, index and rank your web pages.
5. Enter a Menu Label : This will appear in the navigation menu of your website if and when the page is added to the Main Menu navigation . The label should be short and succinct.
6. Add your content into the content editor.
7. Select Save & Exit.
8. Your new page will now appear in alphabetical order within the Unattached Pages view.

What is the "Thank You" page? Can I delete it?

The  Thankyou  page appears in a visitor's web browser after they submit a form on your website. The thank you page is important because it informs your visitor that the form has submitted successfully and that you have received their feedback/comments. You can edit the content of the "Thank You" page at any time by clicking on the page from Unattached Pages . You can safely delete the page if you do not have a form on your website.
