Create a page

A page has an internal name, one or more public routes, and editable content versions. Creating it starts a draft; it does not publish the page.

The screenshots use the Armonic 6.0 standalone demo. Your application's page types, sites, fields, and available actions can differ.

Open the page creator

Open CMS / Pages in the sidebar, then choose New page.

Pages list with the New page action

Enter the page details

For an About page, use an internal name such as About, a route identifier such as about, and a URL path such as about.

Field What to enter
Name A name editors can recognize in lists. It does not automatically become the page heading.
Sites The configured sites that can use this page, when this field is shown.
Route identifier A unique internal route name used by menu links and templates. It is distinct from the public URL path.
Parent route An optional parent used to organize nested URL paths.
Path The page's path within the selected site's language path.
Default language The primary language used by this page.
Additional languages Other enabled languages for which editors will provide content.

For example, about below an English site path /en/ becomes /en/about. The page's displayed name and route identifier need not match this path. Keep the route identifier stable once other pages and menus refer to it.

Page creation form with route, site, language, and indexing fields

Choose indexing options

  • No Index asks search engines not to index the page.
  • No Follow Links asks crawlers not to follow its links.
  • Add to Sitemap includes the page in the configured sitemap. The frequency and priority are hints for crawlers.

These settings guide crawlers; they do not restrict access to a published page. Use your application's access controls for private content.

Create the draft

Choose Create page, then open the content editor if it is not opened automatically. Select a layout and add modules or blocks.

Before publishing, review the route, each enabled language, and the SEO title. The page becomes available to visitors only after a content version is published.
