Building Pages

The following sections of the Sitecore User Guide may be particularly helpful to content authors who are creating and building out pages and content. 

Create a Page

Users can add a page to a website using Page Builder or Content Editor. Users can then add components and content to the page.

Insert a page

Page Titles and URLs

Item names control page URLs. Page titles control what visitors see. Display names control what system users see.

Name a page

Page Layouts

Pages are built using one of several page layouts. Each layout has a different intended use, structure and capabilities. 

Explore layouts

Add and Delete Components

Components are the building blocks of pages. Available components vary depending on page type and layout. 

Use components

Working with Files

Sitecore sites can host files, such as PDFs. Content authors are responsible for ensuring accessibility within documents. 

Use files

Working with Images

Sitecore sites make use of assets, such as photos and videos. Learn how to upload, use and manage these assets.

Use assets

Working with Links and Anchors

Learn the proper way to add external, internal and anchor links to page components to provide a quality experience for audiences.

Create links

Link Redirects

When page pathways change, redirects help visitors find the moved page if they’re coming from a bookmarked or printed link or a QR code.

Add redirects

Using Special Characters

Sitecore supports special characters. Learn tricks and keyboard shortcuts for adding them to content.

See the shortcuts

Replacing an Asset

Swapping out assets and files requires several steps and republishing impacted pages.
