How do I manage basic Web pages on my site?

Create a new page
  1. Click the "Site Map" button from the main menu and navigate to the folder in which you’d like the new Web page to appear.
  2. Click "New Content".

  3. Select the type of page to create (if applicable).
  4. Select either "draft" or "published". Draft pages are hidden from the public until they are finished and published.
  5. Click the "Create" button.

  6. Give the page a title (e.g.. “Spring Conference”).
  7. Enter text in the copy area of the page.
  8. In addition to editing content, some pages can have different templates applied to them.  To change a template, click the "Template" tab and select the desired template.

  9. Click "Publish" for 'new published web page' and "Save Draft" for 'unpublished draft web page'.

Note: For Page Titles, it is important to write short, descriptive titles since Google uses them to index pages.

Edit an existing page
  1. Click the "Site Map" button from the main menu and navigate to the page that you want to edit.
  2. Click the page title.  From the drop-down list, select "Modify this web page" (or for draft pages, "Modify this draft web page").

  3. The body of the page should now open in the HTML editor, allowing you to make changes to the page content.
  4. When your changes are complete, click "Save Changes".

Create a hyperlink
  1. Open a page for editing (see “Edit an existing page” above).
  2. Select the text you want to link.
  3. Click on the hyperlink icon in the editor.

  4. Select an internal page, or enter an external link (to add an anchor, refer to the documentation below).

  5. Click "OK".

    Note: For information about creating anchor tags and links, see "How to Create an Anchor Tag in Keysite Enterprise" (a list of documentation is available at http://keybridge.georgetown.edu/docs/kse/owners/).
Create or remove a section

Sections are an important feature in organizing pages on a website. You can organize multiple Web pages under a section. Sections are by default visible in your site's main navigation. In most sites, the visitor clicks on a section to reveal any sub-sections belonging under that section. In some other sites, the visitor hovers over the section to reveal a pull-down list of any sub-sections.

Read our guide on "Creating and Removing Sections" in KeySite Enterprise (a list of documentation is available at http://keybridge.georgetown.edu/docs/kse/owners/).
