Pages

Pages is the heart of your website. This is where you build your site's structure, control navigation, add content sections, and decide who can see what. Every page on your club's site — public or member-only — is managed here.

Who can use this area

Pages is available to Administrators and Content Managers under Site Builder in the Club Management Portal.

The Pages list

The Pages list is more than a simple record list — it's also your site map and navigation manager.

Pages appear in the order they'll be used for generated navigation.
Child pages are shown with dashes before the slug so you can see the nesting structure.
Drag pages with the handle to reorder them. If you need to move a page under a different parent, change the parent first, then drag it into position.
The Access column shows a color-coded lock icon summarizing each page's permission level. Hover over it to see the specific roles.

Creating or editing a page

Open Pages under Site Builder.
Click Create or open an existing page.
Enter the Page / Window Title and review the Slug.
Set the Menu Title, Template, and Parent if needed.
Turn on Include in Menu if this page should appear in navigation.
Make sure Active is on when the page is ready.
Add or update sections in the Content area.
Optionally add a Meta Description and Social Media Image.
Set Permissions and Hide from lapsed members in the Advanced panel.
Save.

Page setup fields

Page / Window Title — The browser tab title, also used by search engines.

Slug — Becomes part of the page URL. Generated automatically for new pages, but you can customize it. Changing a published slug can break existing links.

Redirect URL — Makes the page (or menu item) redirect to a different URL instead of showing content. Use External Link to open the redirect in a new tab.

Meta Description — A short summary for search engines, up to 255 characters. Around 160 is a good target.

Template — Choose between Default (includes sidebar navigation) and Landing (full-width, no sidebar). Landing pages work well for home pages and marketing-style content.

Parent — Places this page underneath another page, creating a nested structure that drives both dropdown menus and sidebar navigation.

Menu Title — A shorter label for navigation. Use this when the full page title is too long for a menu.

Include in Menu — Controls whether this page shows up in navigation. Turn this off for pages that should only be accessible by direct link.

Active — The main on/off switch. Inactive pages aren't available on the website.

Admin Notes — Internal only, never shown on the website.

Social Media Image — Used when the page is shared on social platforms. Requires a 40:21 crop. The recommended size is 1200x630 pixels. You can upload a new image or choose from the Media Library.

Building page content

The Content panel is where you assemble what visitors actually see on the page. Click Add new section to choose a section type and build up the page.

You can reorder sections by dragging them, and remove a section from its header. The available section types depend on your site's configuration — some types only appear for specific system pages.

Common section types include: Simple Text, Hero Image, Hero Video, Membership Message, Documents, Form, Photo Album, Promo Blocks, News Teasers, Events Teasers, FAQs, Custom HTML, E-Commerce, News, Events, Board, Roster, and Profile. Each has its own documentation page.

Page access

Set permissions in the Advanced panel to control who can view the page. The access icon on the Pages list gives you a quick summary:

Gray — public
Green — member access
Orange — specific roles
Red — admin/task-role access only

Hide from lapsed members (on by default) blocks lapsed members from non-public pages. Public pages are never affected by this setting.

Protected system pages

Some pages use protected slugs: home, join, members, profile, roster, events, news, applications, and store. Protected slugs can't be changed from the Pages form. If you duplicate a protected page, Clubistry adds _copy to the new slug. Be cautious when changing content on system pages — other features may rely on them.

Tips

Leave a page inactive while you build it if it's not ready for members yet.
Use Redirect URL for menu items that should point to external sites or other pages.
Add a Social Media Image for important public pages that will be shared often — review the crop before saving, since shared-link previews use a wide format.
If you need to restructure navigation, change the parent first, then reorder with the drag handle.
