As you get started with your website you may find the need to create new/custom pages for your website. Examples of this can include pages for your contact information, sales and promotions, policies, and any other information that you wish to convey to your visitors. In fact, we highly recommend that you spend some time coming up with custom content for your business to help make it unique. Adding content to your website not only helps to personalize it but it also creates additional information for search engines to consume.
For those of you that are looking to really improve your search engine rankings, be sure to add our adult blog hosting service to your website. You can read about the importance of blogging in our article Blogs: The Best SEO Tool for Small Businesses. In short, blogs can help you target specific keywords that you’re interested in pursuing.
In this tutorial, we’ll help you create a new custom page for your adult business. For this example, we’ll create a contact information page so that our visitors can contact us if they need assistance. We’ll also be placing the link to this contact page right after the “Home” link in our top menu (see red “X” in image below).
We’ll be creating a “Contact Us” page and placing the link to it after our “Home” link.
Follow the steps below to create your new page:
- Login to your control panel.
- Click on the “Content” button.
Click on the "Content" button in your Control Panel.
- Click on “Create New Page” from the “Manage Pages” screen.
- Enter a name for your new page. This name will be used as the link for this page in our menu.
Enter a name for your new page and the content that is to appear on it.
- Use the WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor (see image above) to enter content for you page. This content will appear as the body of the page when viewed. Simply input and style content as you would in any word processor. If you’re an advanced user, you can enter your own custom HTML and Javascript into this form. Simply input your code into the “code view” of the WYSIWYG editor or use the provided “Javascript/HTML” field (above).
- Assign the page to a panel (i.e. menu). This is where you would like this page to appear. We want our page to appear in our top horizontal panel so we’ll be selecting “Header Menu” from the dropdown list.
Assign page to a panel and set page order (if required)
- Select an order for this page (see image above). Ordering applies to pages when generating a menu. You may wish to have a page appear before another in a given menu. Simply select a number relative to the other pages in the same panel (menu) to force a custom page order. Otherwise, leave this value at zero and your pages will be ordered alphabetically. Since we want our “Contact Us” link to appear after our “Home” link, we’ll be entering an order of “1″ into the “Order” field (since our homepage currently has an order of “0″ assigned to it). This will force the “Contact Us” link to appear after our “Home” link.
- It’s highly recommended that you enter some metadata for your new page. Meta data is used by search engines and directories (among others) to determine relevance of your page for a given query. Actually, meta data isn’t the sole determining factor as there are many others involved, but meta data can be used to influence your ranking. This step is optional but it will help search engines better index your adult business. Click on the “Metadata” tab if you wish to enter some metadata for your new page. Otherwise, skip to step 12.
Add some metadata to your page.
- Enter a “Meta Title” for you page. This is simply the title of the page as it should appear to search engines and users. You can simply use the name of the page that you created in step 4 or you can create a more descriptive title for your page.
Enter some metadata for your page. Enter a title, description and keywords.
- Enter a “Meta Description” for your page (see image above). This should be a paragraph containing a description of your new page. This description may be used by search engines while displaying search results to a visitor so ensure that it properly describes your new page.
- Use the “Meta Keywords” field to enter keywords that describe this page (see image above). Delimit keywords by a comma or space and keep this list short. Do not repeat keywords excessively as this won’t provide any additional benefit and may be seen as keyword spam. You should use keywords that actually appear within your title and page content. Truthfully, the impact of this field in major search engines is believed to be minimal. However, other smaller engines and directories may still use these keywords so be sure spend a little time on these.
- Click “Save” to create your new page.
Your newly saved page will appear under your control panel.
- Visit your website to confirm that your new page appears as desired and in the correct place.
Confirm that your new page is where it should be and looks the way it was intended.
You can create as many pages as you need and assign them to any of your panels. The WYSIWYG editor provides you with a wealth of functions to help you get your pages looking just the way you want them to. It’s imperative that you spend some time customizing your adult business to better your user’s experience and improve your search engine visibility.
