Page

A WebBuilder site consists of Pages. A Page is either a Navigation Page or an Internal Page.  A Navigation Page is part of the root structure of your web site and an Internal Page is any other page that is not part of the root structure of your site.

A Page has the following properties:

Name (called "Page") in the image above

The name of the page which will display in the URL when that page is accessed by the browser.  So in the above example, "Home" is the name of the page and the URL will read www.mysite.com/Home.  Consider the naming of your pages carefully as SEO (Search Engine Optimization) relies on this. Be descriptive, but not overly descriptive.

Source

A Page Source is the type that a Page consists of.  The following Page Sources are available:
 

·An HTML Page, which displays HTML markup.

·An Internal Link, which is a link to another page in the site.  Generally, an Internal Link is a System Page, which is a dynamic page that your website consultant creates specifically for your organization.  Examples would be a property search, a customized form, or anything that interacts with a database. What makes WebBuilder unique is that your content can be mixed with dynamic content seamlessly.

·An External Link which is a link to an external site.  A Page that is an External Link will open the link in a new window.

·A Sys:Contact (System Contact Page) is a page that uses a pre-defined form for allowing a website user to contact you.  An email will be sent to a designated email address containing the contact information and message of the requesting user.

·None. "None" is used exclusively for Navigation Pages which do not have any content, but are merely a place holder for child pages.  When a user clicks a page with a page source of "None", no action will occur.  An example of a page source as "None" is the "Pets Serviced" Navigation Page for Paws 'N Claws which does not have any content, but has several child pages which contain the categories of Pets Serviced at Paws 'N Claws.  Another example would be a Township site that contains a Navigation Page named "Departments", with child pages named Supervisor, Assessor, and Clerk.  The Departments page itself would have a Page Source of "None", since the content of each child page contains the specific Department information.

Templated (Yes/No)

Rarely set to anything other than yes (checked), this means that the website template that was built for your site will contain the content for the page.   A website template is essentially the "look" of your site.  If it is not checked, the page content will display as you see it in the Editor. This option only applies to HTML Pages.

Display (Yes/No)

If you want the page to display, check the Display box.  If this box is not displayed, the user will not see the page.  If you have a seasonal page that is only displayed at certain times of the year, this option can be beneficial.

Title

The title that appears in the windows browser tab when a user has accessed this page.  If left blank, it will use the title defined in the Site Profile, which in the Paws 'N Claws site is "Welcome to Paws 'N Claws".

Parent
The Page a child page belongs to.  In the Paws 'N Claws site, "Dogs" is a child page of "Pets Serviced".  If set to none, the page is considered a free-standing page that will be linked to by other pages on the site.  For example, you might create a page called "Contact Information" that you don't want to create as a Navigation Page, but you do want to link to this page throughout the site.  As an aside, it is important not to create too many Navigation Pages as you don't want to overwhelm your users with information.

META Keywords and META Description (accessed by clicking the "Show More" link)

These both contain information about the page itself and can be used by search engines or other web services in finding your page.  Although not as prevalent as it once was, this can help in SEO (Search Engine Optimization).
