Help › Editing › Pages

Page groups

New page creates the page in the tab you are looking at.

Create a page

1. Open the tab the page belongs in and press New page.
2. Type a Page name. The Page slug (the part after your domain) fills itself; edit it if you like.
3. Press Create. The editor opens on the empty page.
4. Fill it with Choose a starter, Generate this page with AI, or Add section (see The page editor).

Pages start as Draft. They go live when you publish.

The page row

Each row shows the name, the URL, the status and a few controls:

• Pencil icons (on hover) rename the page or edit its slug in place.
• Lock icon turns write protection on. A write-protected page cannot be changed, by you or by an AI assistant, until you Unlock it.
• Edit opens the page editor.
• ⋯ opens the page menu.

Subpages and reordering

Drag a row by its grip (⠇) to reorder the menu, or drop it onto another row to nest it. To move a page to another group, drag it onto that group's tab at the top; the tab lights up and the page moves when you let go. Undo in the confirmation message puts it back.

To start a subpage directly, open the parent's ⋯ menu and choose Add subpage. Its suggested URL starts with the parent's (for example services/wedding-cakes).

The homepage cannot have subpages. When you move a page under a new parent, Webmarlin offers to change its URL to match; Apply accepts, Keep the current URL declines.

Change a URL without breaking links

Rename a published page's slug and Webmarlin keeps its old address working. Visitors and search engines that use the old URL are sent to the new one with a permanent (301) redirect.

1. Hover the page row and click the pencil next to its URL.
2. Type the new slug. The hint reads Old address will redirect here automatically.
3. Press Enter.

The redirect appears under Links → Automatic redirects and goes live with your next publish.

• Changing a parent's URL offers to update its subpages too; each published subpage gets its own redirect.
• Redirects never chain: renaming twice points the oldest address straight at the newest.
• The trash icon deletes a redirect. After the next publish the old address shows "page not found".
• A site can hold up to 500 redirects; the counter under the table shows how many are used.
• Only a page that was live gets a redirect. Renaming a draft that was never published adds nothing.

Menu links

In the Links tab, New link adds a menu item that points somewhere else, such as your online ordering service. Choose Permanent (301) for a final move or Temporary (302) while it may change. You do not need a link for a renamed page; that redirect is automatic.

Page settings and SEO

In the editor, Page settings opens two tabs.

General chooses whether this page shows the pre-header, header and footer. Each can follow the site-wide setting or be switched for this page, and the Edit website header / footer links open them for editing.

SEO controls how the page appears in search results and when shared.

Page values override the site-wide defaults in Settings → SEO.

Publish and unpublish

• Publish in the editor puts that page's current version live.
• Publish in the top bar publishes the whole site. If starter pages still have sample text, it lists them first: Review first or Publish anyway.
• Unpublish in the page menu takes one page off the site; its menu item disappears.

While it works the button reads Regenerating SEO before publish…, then Publishing…; the live site refreshes within about 30 seconds.
