Creating and managing pages

Use Online Store > Pages to create content such as an About Us page, a contact page, or a plant care guide. Your account needs access to the store's theme and page tools.

Find and manage pages

Open Pages to review titles, visibility, and creation dates. Use Search pages, filters, sorting, and pagination to find a record. Open a row to edit it; selected rows offer bulk actions.

The existing demo pages were left unchanged. The examples below use an unsaved Our plant care promise page. Select an image to enlarge it.

Choose how to build the page

Click Create page and choose:

• Simple page for rich-text content edited in Pages.
• Page with blocks for a layout built with sections and blocks in the theme editor.

Select an option and click Continue. Each flow saves content differently, so choose the authoring method before starting.

Create a simple page

1. Choose Simple page > Continue.
2. Enter Title, such as Our plant care promise.
3. Write and format Contents using the rich-text editor. Review links, images, headings, and any HTML you add.
4. Review Status. New simple-page forms initially select Visible; choose Hidden while preparing the page if appropriate.
5. Review SEO and custom fields, then click Save. Resolve errors and reopen the saved page.

Visible and Hidden are page visibility settings. Review the actual storefront route before launch, and keep confidential material out of page content: Hidden should not be treated as a password or customer access rule.

Create a page with blocks

1. Choose Page with blocks > Continue.
2. Enter a Title and review the proposed /pages/ handle.
3. Click Create when ready. This creates a hidden page record and its own template using the active theme, then opens the theme editor.
4. Add and arrange sections or blocks, select them to edit their settings, and inspect desktop and mobile previews.
5. Use Save to store the edited template draft. Use the page-specific Publish page action when ready to release that page's layout, and verify its page visibility.

The screenshot stops before Create. No page or template was created for this guide. Block-page creation requires an active theme.

When you reopen a block-based page in Pages, Open in theme editor takes you to its layout. The content card explains that its content is designed there. Review title, visibility, SEO, and custom fields in Pages as needed. See Managing themes for the editor and publication workflow.

Custom block-page templates publish separately from the theme's general changes. Publishing the theme does not replace the page-specific publishing step. After changing the active theme, review your block pages in that theme before relying on their layouts.

Review the search engine listing

Click Edit page SEO in Search engine listing preview. Review Page title, Page description, and URL handle. The preview can derive text from the page's title and body, but you can customize the fields.

Check the handle again after editing a title or URL. Changing a handle can affect existing links. Use URL redirects when an old address needs to lead to a new one. The preview does not guarantee search engine indexing or an exact search-result appearance.

Use custom fields for additional structured page data when needed.

Add the page to navigation and verify it

Creating a page does not automatically place it in a menu. Open Navigation menus, choose the intended menu, add the page as an item, and save the menu. Confirm that your theme uses that menu in the intended header or footer placement.

Before sharing the page, open its actual storefront URL and check content, links, visibility, mobile layout, and any block-page publication state. Keep legal policy content in the appropriate Written policies workflow when it belongs there.
