This guide will take you through the key steps, ensuring your pages are functional, visually appealing, and optimised for users.
Top tip - hover and look for the DOTS.
In LOOP, the dots are often the fastest way to get to the options you need.
(note this is sped up 30% but if you'd like the original that's here on Loom)
Setting Up a New Page
- Find the content tree in LOOP.
- Navigate to the parent node where you want the page to appear.
- Hover over that Node and click the dots next to the parent node and select "Standard Page" or another specific page type.
- Name the page and click "Save."
- Click "Save and Publish" to make the page live, or leave it unpublished if it’s not ready.
Select the content type that you want to create (e.g a Standard page).
Now you have a blank canvas to add your content/copy.
Customising Your Page
- Add content using the "Blocks" section, such as text, images, or hero content.
- Drag and drop blocks to arrange the page layout.
- Add hero images or videos to create an engaging header.
- Use block themes to style your content for consistent branding.
- Include interactive elements like tabs, reviews, or pricing sections to enhance the user experience.
Managing Menu and SEO Settings
- Use the "Show in Menu" option to include the page in your site’s navigation.
- Add titles and descriptions for SEO to optimise search visibility.
- Customise OG settings for social sharing, including titles, descriptions, and images.
- Add relevant keywords to improve internal site search relevance.
Additional Features
- Right-click on a page and select "Move" to change its position in the site structure.
- Use the "Copy" option to duplicate existing pages for reuse across sections.
- Experiment with advanced settings like fixed backgrounds, transparent headers, or call-to-action overrides.
