Page Options

Page Options allows you to adjust the "settings"or "options" for your page. You can work with several behind the scenes settings using this right hand column when working on your site's pages.

Title

This is what will read in the Title Bar and tabs of your browser. This can be different that than the shortcut that is being used for the page. For example, you have a staff page for John Doe of www.yoursite.com/john but in your Title Bar you can have your title read the staff member's full name, John Doe's Staff Page

Shortcut

This is the unique and user friendly web address to this page. Example: http://www.yoursite.com/mypage where mypage is the 'shortcut' to this page. Shortcuts do have to be unique in that each shortcut can only be used once throughout your entire site.

META Keywords

Meta keywords are 'behind the scenes' values that are used for search engines. These values are used for external search engines such as AOL, Yahoo, and Google. If you want to work with driving searches using particular search words or phrases to a given page, add the words or phrases separated by a comma into the keywords area of your page.

META Description

As with META Keywords, the META description will generally be a brief one to two sentence description detailing what your page is about. This is picked up by external search engines when searching your site.

Menu Settings

You might have instances where you would like your page to be visible but only to those you give a link to or tell them about. To do this, you can uncheck the box that says, "Include this page in site navigation." This will remove the page from any dynamic navigation that you have, therefore allowing the page to exist, but only to those that have been given the link.

Template

When we design your site we will create different templates for your pages to load into. You can select which template you would like your page to load into using this dropdown. If you need to apply this template to the child pages of the page you are working on, click the "Apply to sub pages" button. This is useful if you are trying to apply a certain template to a group of pages rather than having to do it manually for each one!

Visibility Settings

You can adjust the visibility of your page by working with the visibility settings for the page. This allows you to 'hide' a page so that it can not be found if you need to hide it for any reason. If someone requests the page, even if they were emailed a link, bookmarked the page, etc. - the page will return "Not Found" and give the requester a sitemap.
To hide a page simply un-check the box labeled: "Published"
To un-hide (display) a page check the box labeled: "Published"

If a page is marked as visible, then you can set an option for when it should be visible.

If the page should always be visible select the radio button, "Always"

If a page should only be visible within a given date range, select the radio button for the date range. You will then see a beginning and ending date range appear to select. Adjust the dates accordingly and click the 'Save Properties' button.

Page Types

You can adjust the page type of the page to a different page type from what was originally assigned to the page. The options allow you to adjust the page to be a "Content Page" or a"Grouping Page" based on which you would like to adjust the page to.

Content Page - This is a standard page with content and page parts.

Grouping Page - This allows you to choose 1 of 2 options.

The first option is to "Display a list of links to all the child pages to this page". This will allow you to see a list of links to the child pages in the content area of your site when the grouping page is accessed.

The second option is, "Automatically forward to the first child page within the group".
