Create New Page Once the user has logged into an admin account, he/she will be presented with the following default screen (note: the presence of certain ‘Modules’ may vary depending on company). To create a new page, first click Content Manager. The menu will expand to include the options List & Edit Pages and Create New Page. Click Create New Page. Once clicked, the user will be presented with the following screen. Notice the four tabs: Content, Properties, SEO, and Advanced. Before navigating away from the Create New Page tabs (i.e. clicking the Template Manager or User Manager for instance), be sure to save your edits by clicking the Save button on any of the Properties, SEO, or Advanced sections. If this step is not taken prior to exiting Content Manager, your edits will be lost and/or your new page will fail to be successfully created. A) Content The Content tab is where the user may add text to the new page, insert images*, and control some of the content formatting.   * See the Insert Image tutorial for additional information. B) Properties The Properties tab is where the Section, Template, and Page Title are identified (among other attributes). The Section field denotes where in relation to the other pages on the website this new page will be indexed. If the section associated with this page is tied to a navigation menu, this page will now be added to that menu. Additionally, the section field is a key component of the finished URL to this page. See formatting below: http://www.domain.com/Section/PageTitle.html The Template field identifies which graphical layout will be used to visually present the content on the page. The Page Title is probably the most important field in terms of usability. Once entered, the Page Title will appear in the list of pages to View/Edit and will be used to uniquely identify each specific webpage. It is important to avoid attaching the same Page Title to any two webpages, as this will lead to database complications. Additionally, the Page Title will be used to identify the page in any navigation menus it may be associated with. Use only alpha-numeric values for the Page Title. Like the Section field, it will also be used to form the finished URL as follows: http://www.domain.com/Section/PageTitle.html The Enable Subnav box essentially only applies to dedicated Section pages. An example of a “dedicated Section page” would be a page directly linked to any of the following navigation headers: * Navigation menu lifted from the Cascade Web Development official site. For instance, if the user clicked (rather than hovered) over the Process header and they were redirected to a Process.html page, Process.html would be an example of a dedicated Section page. Unchecking Enable Subnav for Process.html would prohibit the Process header from including (for example): Process, Strategy, Solution and Evolution. The Enable Subnav check box is traditionally (and by default) left checked. The Hide From Subnav check box is used more frequently than the Enable Subnav check box. The Hide From Subnav box is used to strictly prohibit a page from appearing in its Section’s navigation menu. Using the above image for example, checking the Hide From Subnav box for Strategy.html would eliminate Strategy from the Process dropdown menu.

C) SEO The SEO (Search Engine Optimization) tab provides the content editor with the opportunity to tap directly into the metadata of the webpage under development and enhance that page’s online searchability. The Title field corresponds with what will be listed in the viewer’s browser for the title of the page. It will also serve as a key component for SEO. The Keywords field is where the editor may enter keywords associated with that specific webpage. These keywords will be a critical part of the SEO process and will form one type of link between the Search Engines and this particular page. The Description field is where a brief description of this page may be entered. This description will then be displayed in a user’s search results listing, detailing the contents of the page.

D) Advanced   As the tab name implies, the Advanced tab may be used to supplement the other fields already discussed but is by no means a necessary component of the “New Page” process. The Publish Date, which defaults to the current date, can be set to whichever date you want this page to be live on the web. This can be useful when launching site content during off hours, while the admin is out of the office. The Expire Date denotes the date at which the particular page will automatically become inaccessible to viewers. Typically, this field is left blank. To successfully publish your newly created page simply click the Save button. Once clicked, your new page will be added to the list of pages on your site in the List & Edit Pages view.
