Adding a Content Item

Adds a new piece of content inside a category, with its own detail page.


Content items live inside categories. Examples: a service inside Services, an article inside Blog.

  1. Click on Sites in the Nav bar.
  2. Click on Content -- this takes you to the Content Manager for your website.
  3. On the left sidebar, find the (+New) button under the category you want to add this content item to. Ensure you select that and not the one above which creates a new category.
  4. This will lead you to a form. Enter the relevant information using the Data Entry Guide below.
  5. Click Save.

The item appears immediately within the category.

Field NameWhat it does
NameThe internal name used to identify this item in the system.
Display nameThe name that people will see on the actual website.
Display pluralThe name used when the system refers to a group of these items (e.g., "Galleries" instead of "Gallery").
TitleThe main heading of your page. Start here.
Short TitleA shorter version of the title to be used in small spaces, like menu bars.
TaglineA brief, catchy sentence that appears under the title (like a slogan).
Short ContentA one-sentence summary of this item. This exact sentence becomes the item's description in your site's structured data, so write one complete, standalone sentence.
ContentThe main section where you type all the primary information and details.
IconA small symbol or graphic used to represent this item visually.
ImageA photo or logo you select from the library to be shown with your content.
External LinkA web address you can add if you want to send people to a different website.
Display OrderA number that tells the system which item should come first, second, or third in a list.

The Golden Rule: Start with the Title. Everything else is optional depending on how much detail you want to add. The page's web link (slug) is generated for you automatically.
