Pages

Use Pages to build the structure, navigation, and page-by-page content for your website. This is where you decide what each page is called, where it appears in the menu, which sections it contains, and who is allowed to view it.

Who can use this area?

This area is usually managed by Administrators and Content Managers.
In the Club Management Portal, Pages appears under Site Builder.
If you do not see Pages in the menu, your account may not have permission to manage site content.

What the Pages list helps you do

The Pages list is more than a list of records. It also helps you manage the site's navigation structure.

Helpful details:

The pages appear in the order they will be used for generated navigation.
Child pages are shown with dashes before the slug so nesting is easier to spot.
You can drag pages into a new order with the drag handle on the list page.
If you need to move a page under a different parent, edit the page first to change the parent, then drag it into the right order.
The Access column shows a lock icon that summarizes the page's access level.
Hovering over the access icon helps you see role details.

Creating or editing a page

Open Site Builder > Pages.
Click Create or open an existing page.
Enter the Page / Window Title and review the Slug.
Complete Menu Title, Template, and Parent if needed.
Decide whether Include in Menu and Active should be turned on.
Add or update sections in the Content area.
Add a Meta Description and Social Media Image if they will be helpful.
Set Permissions and Hide from lapsed members.
Save the page.

Page setup fields

Page / Window Title controls the browser tab title and helps with search engines.
Slug becomes part of the page URL. New pages generate it automatically, but you can review it before saving. Changing a published slug can break existing links.
Redirect URL lets the page or menu item send visitors somewhere else.
External Link opens that redirect in a new tab.
Meta Description gives search engines a short summary of the page. Up to 255 characters is allowed, and around 160 is usually a good target.
Template offers Default and Landing layouts.
Parent creates a child-page relationship.
Menu Title is the shorter label shown in generated navigation.
Include in Menu controls whether the page appears in navigation.
Active controls whether the page is available at all.
Admin Notes are internal only and do not appear on the website.
Social Media Image is used when the page is shared. If you add one, the field uses a required 40:21 crop and lets you upload a new image or choose existing media.

Choosing a template

Default shows the site's sidebar navigation.
Landing removes the sidebar and gives the sections full-width space.

Building page content

The Content panel uses the Add new section button to build the page.

Helpful details:

You can reorder sections inside the page.
You can delete a section from its section header.
The section menu is filtered by your site's configured section types.
Some section types appear only for specific system pages.

Common section types include:

Simple Text
Membership Message
Documents
Form
Hero Image
Hero Video
Photo Album
Promo Blocks
News Teasers
Events Teasers
FAQs
Custom HTML
E-Commerce
News
Events
Board
Roster
Profile
application-related sections

Understanding page access

Use Permissions to control who can view the page on the website.

The access icon on the Pages list gives a quick summary:

Gray means public access.
Green means member access.
Orange means specific roles.
Red means administrative or task-role access.

Helpful details:

Hover over the lock icon on the list page to see role details.
Hide from lapsed members blocks lapsed members from non-public pages.
Public pages are not affected by Hide from lapsed members.
Front-end access rules do not replace the need to manage who can edit pages in the Club Management Portal.

Protected system pages and copies

Some pages use protected system slugs such as home, join, members, profile, roster, events, news, applications, and store.

Helpful details:

Protected page slugs cannot be changed from the Pages form.
If you duplicate a protected page, Clubistry adds _copy to the new slug.
Be cautious when changing menu placement or content on system pages because other site features may rely on them.

Practical tips

Use a shorter Menu Title when the full page title is too long for navigation.
Leave Include in Menu off for pages that should work by direct link only, such as campaign or thank-you pages.
Leave a page inactive while you build it if it is not ready for members yet.
Add a dedicated Social Media Image for important public pages that will be shared often.
Review the image crop before saving when you add a Social Media Image, because shared-link previews use a wide format.
If you need to move a page under a different parent, change the parent first, then reorder it with the drag handle.
