Pages
How to create, edit, publish, and organize pages on your CMS Max website
Overview
Pages are the core building blocks of your website. Every section of your site — your home page, about page, contact page, and any custom pages — is managed here. CMS Max gives you a rich editor to build page layouts with text, images, forms, and other content.
Creating a New Page
- Navigate to Content > Pages in the sidebar.
- Click Create (or New Page) in the top right.
- Enter a Title for your page. This becomes the page heading and is used to generate the URL.
- Build your page content in the editor. You can type text, insert images, add headings, and embed widgets like forms or maps.
- Set the Visibility (see Site Settings for details).
- Click Save to save a draft, or adjust visibility to Public when ready to publish.
Editing an Existing Page
- Navigate to Content > Pages.
- Find the page you want to edit. Use the search bar or scroll through the list.
- Click the page title or the edit icon.
- Make your changes in the editor.
- Click Save.
Your changes are applied immediately once saved. If the page is Public, visitors will see the updated content right away.
Page Settings
When editing a page, you will find a settings panel (usually on the right side or in tabs below the editor) with the following options:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | The page name shown in the browser tab and as the page heading |
| Slug / URL | The path used in the page URL (e.g., /about-us) |
| Visibility | Controls who can see the page — Public, Draft, Unlisted, etc. |
| Crawl | Whether search engines are allowed to index this page |
| Layout | The page template/layout used for this page |
| SEO Title | Custom title shown in Google search results (defaults to the page title) |
| SEO Description | The meta description shown in search results |
Publishing a Page
To make a page visible to visitors:
- Open the page editor.
- In the Publish settings, change Visibility to Public.
- Click Save.
The page is now live. To unpublish, change visibility back to Draft.
Deleting a Page
Warning: Some system pages (like the home page) cannot be deleted. They are required for your site to function correctly.
- Navigate to Content > Pages.
- Find the page you want to delete.
- Click the three-dot menu (or delete icon) next to the page.
- Confirm the deletion when prompted.
Deleted pages are permanently removed. If the page had an important URL, consider setting up a redirect before deleting it.
System Pages
CMS Max automatically creates several pages that cannot be deleted but can be customized:
- Home Page (
/) — Your website's homepage - 404 Error Page — Shown when a visitor visits an invalid URL
- Password Protected — The gateway page for password-protected content
- Search Results (
/search) — Shown when visitors search your site
If you have additional plugins installed, there may be other system pages for blogs, events, store locations, and more.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why can I not delete a page?
Some pages are required for your site to work correctly (such as the home page and error pages). These are protected and cannot be removed.
My changes are not showing on the live site
Make sure you clicked Save and that the page's Visibility is set to Public. If you still do not see the changes, try clearing your browser cache.
How do I change the URL of a page?
Open the page editor and look for the Slug or URL field in the settings panel. Update it and save. If the old URL was linked from other pages or from Google, consider setting up a redirect.
