Every Looka website starts with a website template. This website template includes several pages that businesses like yours have included on your website. But we completely understand that you want to customize your website pages! You are able to add or remove pages or edit the names of the pages on your website. Let's get started!
The Pages tab in the left panel allows you to create, reorder, and manage pages on your website. It also lets you select which pages appear in your website navigation.
Adding new pages
To get started adding a new page to your web site, click Pages in the left panel and then click the + Add Page button.
Select if you want to use the Page Builder, create a Blank Page, or create a Designed Page. We highly recommend that you start with a Designed Page as that will create a page that is already populated with useful widgets that most websites have on that type of page. If you'd prefer to manage your own widgets on the page, the Page Builder is a great option.
You can also create a Navigation Folder. This lets you create sub menus in your website navigation. This is useful if you have a lot of similar pages that you want to group together in your website navigation.
Your last option is to add a Page URL. Instead of creating a new page on this website, this lets you link to another page within your website navigation. This could be helpful if you have another website that you want your website visitors to see, such as a social media channel, or a portfolio hosted on another service.
If you choose to use a Designed Page, you will see the option to select the type of page that you are creating.
Once you select the type of page, add a name for the page, and then click the + Add Page button to add the page to your website.
If you choose to use the Page Builder, the Page Builder will be opened within the website editor. On the top bar, you will see the option to view the page you are designing on desktop, tablet, and mobile at the top left. You will see the options to Delete the page (trash icon), Save for Later, or Add Page to Site.
On the left, you will see a list of different sections that you could add to this page. Clicking on a section type will give you the option to choose from different designs of that section. Above the list of sections, you'll see the option to change the name of the page by clicking on the current title, New Page. If you have previously saved a page for later, you can also switch to editing that page by clicking the drop-down arrow next to the name of the current page. The dots beside the drop-down arrow give you the option to edit the name of the page or duplicate the page.
At the center of your screen, you'll see a preview of the new page.
As you add sections to the page, you will see options to add a new section above or below a section when you hover over it.
You can also move the section up or down on the page, or delete the section if you click on the section.
If you choose to Save for Later the page draft will be easily accessible from the Pages menu, in the Pages in Progress section. Clicking on a page in this section will open the Page Builder again.
Once you are done editing the page, click the Add Page to Site button at the top right of the Page Builder. This will close the Page Builder and open the new page in the website editor, letting you edit the content of the page or make any design adjustments.
If you choose to add a Blank Page, add the name of the page and then click + Add Page. This will open the new blank page in the website editor, and you will need to manually add widgets to the page.
Reorganizing pages
To reorganize the order pages displayed on your site:
In the left panel, click Pages.
Click and drag a page to move it where you want it to appear in order.
Drag a page slightly to the right to nest the page as a sub-page of the page above. You can nest pages under other pages, or you can nest pages under a Navigation Folder. A Navigation Folder is not a page itself, so clicking on it in your website navigation will do nothing.
Managing page settings
Access page settings by clicking the settings icon next to each page title (the three dots).
You have the following options:
Rename. Rename the page in the editor.
Show or Hide from navigation. Make the page hidden on the navigation menu. You can choose if you want to hide the page on specific devices or always hide the page. It will still be visitable by the direct URL. If a page is hidden from navigation, you can use this to show the page in navigation again.
Duplicate. Creates an exact copy of the page.
Publish Page. Once you have published your website, if you are working on more than one page at a time, you can choose to publish updates only to this page, rather than publishing the changes that you have made to the entire website.
Page URL. This lets you choose the URL to use for the page. Note that you will not see this in the options for your Home page.
Edit Page SEO. Access all the SEO settings for this page.
Set as Home Page. Set this page as your Home page. Not that you will not see this in the options for your Home page.
Set Page Access. This gives you the option to set a password for the page so that only visitors with the password can access it. You also have the option to make the page accessible by members only. To do this, you'll need to add Membership to your website. You can find Membership by clicking My Apps in the left menu and then searching Membership
Set as a Draft. This prevents this page from being published when you publish your website. This is the opposite of what happens when you click Publish Page. Note that you cannot set your Home page as a draft.
Delete.
