Create Pages and Arrange Navigation
Your site can have as many pages and sub-pages as needed; we place no limits whatsoever on the number of pages that can be added to a site. Creating a new page is a matter of going to the Pages tab and clicking the + (plus) sign.
You will see several options for adding pages, however, only three are applicable to UA websites:
The remaining options are not used for UA:
- Standard Page - This is the option you will use most often. Standard pages are the basis of your website.
- Blog Page - Most sites only have one blog page.
- External Page - This creates a link in your top navigation to an external website, such as ua.edu or your college home page.
The remaining options are not used for UA:
- Category Page and Product page are used for sites that use the Store features (as in selling things).
- The Non-clickable menu is not accessible.
For now let's focus on creating Standard Pages.
Selecting the Standard Page option adds a new page to your list.
Selecting the Standard Page option adds a new page to your list.
Adding more pages is a matter of clicking the + (plus) sign and choosing Standard Page again (and again). (Note: the image below includes the option for a Store Page, but this option is not available on our platform and you should not see it.)
There are a few settings you can change for the new page. Namely, you can choose what type of header it has and adjust the visibility.
Visibility allows you to restrict access to the page. The three choices are Public (everyone can see it), Site Password (only those with the password can see it), and Members or Groups (only certain members or groups of members can see it).
As you add (and name) each of your pages, they'll automatically become a part of your site's navigation bar.
You can rearrange the order of the pages by clicking and dragging them up and down the Pages list. Dragging a page to the top of the list will make that page your Home. The Home page can be renamed to whatever you like; the name for this site's Home has been changed to Welcome. Changing the order of pages in the list will also change the order in which they're displayed in the navigation.
You're also able to create sub-pages of other pages. NOTE: Sub-pages in the navigation are not accessible. It doesn't mean you can't use them, you simply must make accommodations by creating standard hypertext links on the top-level page of the drop-down menu. See https://people.ua.edu/drop-down-menus-and-accessibility.html for more information about sub-pages or drop-down menus
You can create sub-pages by dragging a page or pages underneath and to the right of another page.

These sub-pages appear in a drop-down menu when you scroll over the page to which you connected them.
To edit the content of a page, just click on its link from the navigation menu or go to the Pages tab, select the page from the list and click the Save and Edit Page button.
