Pages are the heart and soul of your website. Pages have a variety of ways to display your content in a unique and customizable way. The list below shows all of the options to display content on a page. Click on each element to see samples and learn more.
You can add elements to a page after creating it.
How to Create a Page

- Click Add Content button.
- Select Page.
- Enter Title.
- If you don't want to show the title in its default style at the top of the page, click the box labeled Exclude title from display
- Add main content. The Page Elements section below provides examples and links to additional information.
- Save.
Adding content to the summary field allows you to provide an overview of your page. This information will be displayed if you use a View to display pages on your website.
To add summary content:
- Create a page or edit an existing one.
- Select Summary fields dropdown.
- Provide a summary image and description.
- Note that no Editor Toolbar is included and only plain text is allowed in the summary text box.

Categorizing your page will allow you filter specific types of pages if you choose to place a Page view on your site. In order to categorize pages, you must create taxonomy terms.
To categorize a page:

In general, the URL alias (the grey portion of the URL) for a page will be based on the name of the page. For example, a page called News, will have the alias "/news". If you would like the page to have a different alias, you are able to manually enter one on a new or existing page.

Marketing Campaign Page
A Marketing Campaign Page, also known as a Landing Page, is a specific page on your website that is designed to promote a particular call to action. Unlike other pages on your site, a Marketing Campaign Page does not have the usual navigation and links that could distract visitors from the intended action.
Before you can use Marketing Campaign Pages, a site administrator must enable them from Quickstart Settings.
Any page on your website can be a Marketing Campaign Page. Only users with the Content Administrator role can set up Marketing Campaign Pages.
To Create a Marketing Campaign Page:
- Create a new Page or edit an existing one.
- On the right-hand sidebar of the editing interface, locate the section labeled Marketing Campaign Page and expand it.
- From the Marketing Campaign Page Style drop-down menu, choose the style that best suits your needs:
- Standard: This style removes most header regions from the page, including the search box, the main navigation, and the page breadcrumbs. The “Footer sub” and “Footer sub menus” regions are also removed.
- Standard - No Site Branding: This style is the same as Standard except the “Site branding” region is removed as well.
- Standard - Show Full Footer: This style is the same as Standard, but it does not remove the "Footer sub" and "Footer sub menus" regions.
- (Optional) If you do not want this page to appear in search engine results, expand the XML Sitemap sidebar section and select Excluded from the Inclusion dropdown menu.
- Save the page.
After creating a Marketing Campaign Page, the various navigation blocks will be hidden, creating a more streamlined and focused page.
