Creating and Managing Pages

Overview

Pages can be used to include text, images, blocks, and widgets and create layouts to help sell products to your customers. The process of adding a new page to your store is the same for any type of page you would like to create. When you are finished creating your page, it can be added to the store navigation, linked to other pages or the footer of your store, or used as a new home page.

This article includes:

• Creating a Page
• Adding Blocks and Widgets to Your Page
• Standard Page Layouts
