Pages and sections

Every page of your website is a list of sections, shown top to bottom: a large photograph, a grid of your work, a few words about you, and so on. Your site has a Home page, and you can add up to 20 pages of your own.

Change a page's sections

1. Open the website builder (the Design tab of Website), and choose the page from the Page list in the top bar.
2. Click a section on the page to change it. Its settings open in the panel on the right.
3. To add a section, press Add a section here where you want it, and choose its kind.
4. Use Move section up, Move section down, Hide section and Remove section on the section's buttons, or drag it in the list of sections at the left. You are asked before a section is removed.

If you use the old builder, the sections are listed on its Sections tab: click one to change it, or drag it by its handle to move it.

Add a page

1. On the Overview tab of Website, open Add a page under Pages.
2. Give it a Page title. The Address (optional) is the end of its address, such as weddings. Left empty, it is made from the title.
3. Under Start from, choose a layout, then press Add the page. The new page goes into your menu. Your menu shows up to 9 items. If it is already full, the new page is added to the menu hidden, and the page tells you. Hide another item on the Menu screen to show it.

You can also press Add a page in the builder's top bar. Give the page a Title, choose a layout under Start from (optional) if you like, and press Add the page.

Kinds of section

Hero, Photo grid, Collections, Large photograph, Image and text, Text, Quote, About strip, Contact prompt, Featured print, Print facts and Press and awards. Each one says what it shows when you add it. A Hero can only be the first section on a page.

There are also Slideshow, Video, Questions and answers and Price list, and a photo grid can be Masonry. See More ways to build your site.

You can also add a Full-screen sequence, Overlapping photographs, a Side-scrolling series or a Photo story, and a Hero can be Hung on the wall, Magazine cover or Widescreen. A photo grid can be Gallery wall or Contact sheet. See Looks, fonts, colours and motion.

Background and spacing

Every section has a Background (Default, Soft, Accent tint or Inverse) and Spacing (Same as the site, Compact, Comfortable or Airy). The words on top always stay easy to read.

Duplicate and copy

Duplicate puts a copy of a section straight after it. Copy to page puts a copy at the end of the page you choose. A page can only have one Hero, so a Hero cannot be duplicated or copied to a page that has one.

Starting from a layout

A layout is a finished page in one click, filled with your own photographs: Gallery wall, Print shop first, Cinematic story or Studio and services. On a page that already has sections, a layout replaces them, and you are asked first. Edit each section afterwards to add your own words.

Each of the five looks also has a layout of its own for your Home page. Choosing a look lays Home out that way and asks you first.

In the builder, a page's settings have Start again from a layout: choose one, then press Use this layout.

Good to know

• A page can have up to 20 sections.
• A section that would show nothing yet, such as one with no photograph chosen, is marked so you can see why.
• Your Work page, your collections and each photograph's own page are arranged under Store pages, on the builder's Site tab. In the old builder, they are under Store.
• On a page of your own, Page details holds its title, address and search words, and Delete this page removes it. Its sections go with it, it leaves your menu, and any button that goes to it is removed too. In the builder, the page's settings hold the same, with Remove this page.
• On a small screen, open a page from the Pages card on the Overview tab and change it one section at a time.
• Every change is saved to your draft. Visitors see it once you publish.
