Page settings is where you manage all page-specific information, including SEO and 301 redirects. Navigate to Page Settings from the main navigation on the left side of your screen by clicking Pages > Manage Pages, then click the edit icon next to a page name and select Edit Settings.



Content


General


**Page name


The name of a page is visible, for example, in the sidebar in the designer and in the main navigation on your website.


**Page URI


A URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) is the last part of a URL that identifies a specific page on a website, e.g. mydomain.com/about. The page URI automatically follows the page name. You can easily change the page URI if you want to separate it from the page name. To change the URI, delete the existing information and type in the new URI name. Please note that the page URI can only contain lowercase letters from the English alphabet, numbers, underscores and hyphens.


If you change the name of the page at some point, the editor will automatically copy that name as the URI. If you want to keep the same URI as before the page name change, you will need to manually enter the desired URI again after updating the page name.


SEO


**Page title, page keywords and description


Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is very important to keep in mind when adding new pages to your website. Filling in SEO information ensures that your website has a better chance of being "found" by search engines and thus visitors finding your website through them. Remember to fill in the SEO fields before you finalize your page setup.



Do not index this page

When Do not index this page is enabled, search engines will not index the page and the page will therefore not appear on search engine results pages. This is useful, for example, if you have a hidden page with sensitive information that you only want to be accessible to certain visitors.


**Do not publish this page **

If Do not publish this page is enabled, the specific page will not be published when the rest of your website is published. Use this option if you are still working on the page, but want to publish all other pages on your website.


**301-redirects

A 301-direct is a permanent redirect from one URL to another. In this section it is possible to enter one or more URLs to redirect them to the page you just created.


**Google page preview

When editing your page's SEO elements, you can preview how your page will look on a Google search results page (also known as SERP, or Search Engine Results Page). This is to give you an overview of where specific information you've entered will end up in the search result.


Add HTML


In the Add HTML field, you can insert HTML code that will be inserted directly into the page's <head> tag once the website is published. This can be used, for example, in cases where you want to track conversion results for a Google AdWords campaign and need to add a page-level tracking tag.


Other HTML options:** If you want to add HTML to all your pages at once, you can use the Designer's Global HTML feature. You can also add HTML widgets and other elements to your pages using the HTML module.


Sitemap


The Sitemap option is part of the Studio add-on.


Sitemap ensures that search engines have the correct pages indexed and the correct organization of your website's content. Sitemap is therefore a way to make search engines read your website more intelligently.


Priority indicates to the search engines how important this particular page is compared to other pages on your website, from very low to very high. Change frequency indicates how often the page is likely to be changed/updated, from hourly to monthly.



Icon


The icon option is part of the Studio add-on.

Add an icon next to your page's name in the main navigation to help visitors immediately recognize what the page is about. Select the icon you want to display in your navigation - when an icon is activated, a thin black border will surround it. If you regret including the icon, you can deselect it and the icon will be disabled.




Design


Background


For the background of your page, you can choose between using a color, an image or leave it blank. If you leave it blank, the background color will inherit from your global background settings.




Settings


General


Here you can select Hide header on page or Hide footer on page. Enable one or both options to hide your website's header and footer on a specific page.



Why hide header and footer? Hiding the header and footer can be useful in certain cases, for example, when you run a campaign or activity on your website where you want visitors to focus solely on the content on the page. When you hide the header, you make sure that visitors can't see the rest of your website. By hiding the footer, you limit the amount of information on your page, increasing the likelihood that the visitor will interact with the intended element (e.g. a contact form) on the page and not click through to something that has nothing to do with the page.



By checking the Link to other element box, when clicking on the page in the main navigation, the visitor will be redirected to another page that you have specified.


Menu link type: You can direct the visitor to one of the following destinations:


  • External URL
  • Internal page
  • Email
  • File (for download)


When using Link to other element, you can decide whether the page should open in a new tab and you have the option to enable a "nofollow" property, which means that search engines will not follow the link and thus your visitors' movements.


When linking to external sites, the default setting in the editor is that the link opens in a new tab. This is to ensure that visitors are not directed away from your website.


Hide page in navigation menu


You have the option to hide your page from the main navigation in one or more of the three . The page will be hidden once you have checked the relevant boxes and saved your settings.


Hiding a page means that the page will be hidden from the website navigation in the viewports you select. The page will still exist as part of your website, but visitors can only access it if they know the exact URL of the page or if you link to it from elsewhere on your website, for example, in the footer or from a button.
