Build and configure website pages

Your website is the one part of BevWerk that strangers see before they decide to visit. Pages (/website/pages) is where you build it.

Pages are built from blocks

Section titled “Pages are built from blocks”

A page is assembled from blocks rather than written as one long document. Each block holds a piece of content, and one of the blocks available to you can embed your live menu — which is what keeps the beer list on your public site tied to what is actually pouring.

That embed is the reason to build the page here rather than elsewhere. A menu pasted into an external site editor is correct exactly once.

Site-wide settings

Section titled “Site-wide settings”

Some settings belong to the whole site rather than any single page:

  • Website Title and Default Meta Data (Meta Title, Meta Description) — what search engines and link previews show. These are the words people read before they click.
  • Navigation — which pages appear as a Nav Item, and in what order.
  • Home Page Message — a custom message on the home page, useful for a temporary announcement you do not want to build a whole page for.
  • Social Media — your Facebook Handle, Instagram Handle, and Twitter Handle.
  • Newsletter API Key — connects your signup form to the mailing service you already use.

Activate and Deactivate

Section titled “Activate and Deactivate”

A page can be Activated or Deactivated. Deactivating is not deleting: the page and its content stay intact, they simply stop being public.

This distinction is worth using deliberately. A seasonal page, an event that has passed, or a page you are still drafting can all sit deactivated without losing the work, and go live again when the moment comes around.

Preview reflects what you have sanitized

Section titled “Preview reflects what you have sanitized”

The page preview renders the same content your visitors will get, including any embedded menu. Content is sanitized before it is stored and again before it is shown, so what survives into the preview is what is safe to publish.
