Quickstart and page management

Create a safe draft, configure its URL and navigation behavior, build a first page, and publish it only after review.

This walkthrough assumes PageDesigner is installed, licensed, and that your account can view, create, and update PageDesigner pages.

Before you create the pageCopy Anchor Link

Prepare:

• A clear visitor-facing title.
• A short URL ending, called the slug.
• The page's audience and one main goal.
• Approved copy, images, links, prices, and claims.
• A decision about whether the page belongs in the site navigation.
• A review owner who can approve publication.

Good first pages answer three questions near the top: what is this, why does it matter, and what should the visitor do next?

Understand the page listCopy Anchor Link

Use search and sorting to find pages. Before deleting a page, check menus, campaigns, emails, buttons, and external links that may still point to it. Unpublishing is the safer choice when a page may return later.

Page SettingsCopy Anchor Link

TitleCopy Anchor Link

Use a name visitors and administrators will understand. Examples:

• About us
• Managed hosting
• Getting started
• Summer 2026 offer

SlugCopy Anchor Link

The slug must be unique and cannot conflict with an existing GET or HEAD route.

Changing a published slug changes the public URL. Update every inbound link and consider a redirect outside PageDesigner when preserving the old URL matters.

PublishedCopy Anchor Link

Turn this on only when the page is approved. Save and publish are separate:

• Save in the editor stores the canvas.
• Published in Page Settings controls public access.

Show in NavigationCopy Anchor Link

This setting adds a published page to Paymenter's navigation hook.

• Published + navigation off: the page is public but must be reached by its URL or another link.
• Published + navigation on: the page can appear in the site navigation.
• Draft + navigation on: it remains unavailable to ordinary visitors.

Navigation OrderCopy Anchor Link

Lower values appear first. Pages with the same value are then ordered by title. Using 10, 20, and 30 leaves space to insert another page later.

Build the first pageCopy Anchor Link

1. Select Open Editor.
2. Open Blocks in the left panel.
3. Drag a simple hero or introductory model into the canvas.
4. Add one benefits or features section.
5. Add one final call to action.
6. Replace every sample word, image, price, link, and name.
7. Check desktop, tablet, and mobile.
8. Save.
9. Select Preview and test the real links and interactive parts.

Do not begin by adding every available model. Start with the visitor's decision and add only sections that help that decision.

Return to page settingsCopy Anchor Link

The editor opens in another tab so page-wide settings remain available. Before leaving:

1. Select the save icon.
2. Wait for the status to show Saved.
3. Select the exit control.
4. Confirm only after saving.

Return to the page record for SEO, publishing, navigation, and advanced code.

Publish safelyCopy Anchor Link

1. Save the editor canvas.
2. Open full Preview.
3. Test every important link and interaction.
4. Review every supported language.
5. Complete the SEO fields.
6. Return to Page Settings.
7. Turn on Published.
8. Turn on Show in Navigation only when appropriate.
9. Save.
10. Open View Page and verify the public result as a normal visitor.

Recommended page structureCopy Anchor Link

flowchart TD
    H[Hero: what, why, action] --> B[Benefits or outcomes]
    B --> E[Evidence, features, plans, or examples]
    E --> R[Reassurance: FAQ, support, trust]
    R --> C[Final call to action]

This is a starting pattern, not a requirement. A policy page or contact page may need a different structure.
