How to add web pages
Overview
- Wild Apricot allows you to add as many web pages as you need. Pages are automatically added to your website menu on the left-hand side.
- You can organize your website menu into a 'tree' with up to three nested levels. See more: Subpages and multi-level pages
- There are two different types of pages - pages with content (text, pictures etc.) and pages with interactive functionality (online forms, member directory etc.) See Content pages vs. functional pages
- For every trial account we automatically create a few sample pages to help you get started. You can edit these sample pages or delete them altogether as needed.
Adding a new page
- To add a page, go to Webpages section and click on [Add page]. This will bring up a window where you can select page type, page name and other parameters:
- Page name: Enter the new page name as you want it to appear on the website menu.
- Check the 'Visible' checkbox if you want this page to immediately become available to the public and/or members. Otherwise, leave it empty and it will only be accessible to authorized website administrators. You can edit this page to make it visible at any time.
- Tip: You can use this option to save page drafts you are working on until you are ready to share them with the world.
- Access: Specify whether you want the page to be visible to everyone or only to logged-in members. (See Website Pages with Restricted Access - you can specify which member levels have access to these pages)
- Where to insert - specify where to place this new page in the menu (you can always move it anytime later). You can place a page After (below) or as a Child of an existing page - select that page in the dropdown field.
- Content pages vs. Functional pages- select one of the tabs and select a desired layout for the page (default is a blank page) or a desired functionality to be placed on the page.
Now click on [Create] button and new page will be created.
- If it is a content page, you will be in the edit mode and can type in text, insert pictures and documents, format it etc. To save your changes, click on the [Publish] button
- If it is a functional page, you will see the resulting page and can change its setting by clicking on [Edit Settings] button
Content pages - Page templates
Page templates allow you to start with a convenient layout and format - for example create a two-column page, a page for your board of directors (List of people template), a contact us page etc. For example, you can select a List of people template:
In this case your new page will have a layout like this:
Dotted lines show the borders of invisible tables inserted into your page - now you can replace the placeholder texts with names, pictures and bios and quickly create a nicely formatted page for your board of directors.
(These dotted borders will not be shown to people viewing this page. While editing you can turn them off with this editor button:
