Pages & Navigation
A website is only as easy to use as its navigation menu. This guide covers two closely related tools: the Overview, where every page and blog post you have created lives, and Navigation, where you decide how visitors move between them using your site's menu.
Managing your pages
The Overview section inside Content Management lists every page, blog post, and category on your website in one place, giving you a bird's-eye view of everything you have published or drafted so far.
- Editing: Click any page's title in the list to open it directly in the visual editor, where you can update text, images, or layout.
- Search: Use the search bar to instantly find a specific page by typing part of its title, handy once your site has grown to dozens of pages.
- Filters: Narrow the list down by content type (Pages, Blogs, or Categories) so you are only looking at the kind of content you need at that moment.
Customizing your navigation menu
The Navigation section is where you decide what appears in your site's menu and in what order, using a visual, drag-and-drop interface designed so that building or reorganizing a menu feels as simple as rearranging items in a list.
Understanding menu structure
- Reordering: Click and hold any menu item, then drag it up or down to change its position in the menu. The order in the editor is exactly the order visitors will see on your live site.
- Nesting (sub-menus): Drag an item slightly to the right, underneath another item, to turn it into a sub-menu entry. This is useful for grouping related pages, for example, listing "Web Design," "SEO," and "Hosting" as sub-items under a parent menu item called "Services."
- Adding menu items: Click Add Menu Item to insert something new into your menu. You can pull in content you have already created (a Page, Category, or Blog), or add a custom link to an external website, such as a partner's site or a booking platform.
Navigation tips for a better visitor experience
Good navigation is about clarity, not decoration. A few practical guidelines:
- Highlight your most important action. Use the "Display as Button" option on the single link you most want visitors to click, commonly "Contact," "Order Now," or "Book a Consultation." Styling it as a button makes it visually stand out from ordinary text links.
- Keep the main menu simple. Visitors decide within seconds whether a website feels trustworthy and easy to use. A menu crammed with a dozen items feels overwhelming; a focused menu of five to seven items feels confident and easy to scan.
- Use sub-menus for depth, not length. If you have many related pages, group them under a shared parent item using nesting rather than listing them all individually in the main bar.
- Match your menu to how visitors think, not necessarily how your business is organized internally. Label items the way a first-time visitor would search for them.
Managing your blog
If your website includes a blog, publishing and organizing posts follows the same familiar workflow as regular pages.
- Create a blog post: Click Create Content from the main Content Management screen and select Blog as the content type.
- Write and publish: Like standard pages, blog posts are built visually (no code required) and go live as soon as you save and publish.
- Add it to your menu: Individual posts, or a link to your overall blog overview page, can be added to your navigation menu just like any other content, making it easy for visitors to discover your latest updates.
Frequently asked questions
Can I change my navigation menu at any time?
Yes. Menu changes take effect immediately after saving, so you can reorganize your site's structure as often as you like without any downtime or approval process.
How many levels of sub-menus can I create?
You can nest items to build sub-menus for grouping related pages. For the clearest visitor experience, it is best to keep nesting to one level deep. Avoid creating sub-menus within sub-menus, which can be confusing to navigate on both desktop and mobile.
What is the difference between a Page, a Category, and a Blog in the content filters?
Pages are standalone pieces of content like "About Us." Blogs are dated posts meant to be published over time. Categories are used mainly in the Online Store to group related products together. All three can appear in your Overview list and, where relevant, in your navigation menu.
Can I link to an external website from my menu?
Yes. When adding a menu item, choose the custom link option and enter any external web address instead of selecting one of your own pages.
What should I do if my menu looks cluttered?
Group related items into a sub-menu using the nesting feature described above, and consider removing or combining items that overlap. A shorter, clearer main menu almost always performs better than a long one.
