# Adding pages, posts, and menu links to your website

Use **Add page** to start a new page from a template, **Posts** to write dated updates, and the **Menu** tab to choose the links across the top of your website. New pages, posts and menu changes reach visitors when you publish.

## Add a page

1. In the website builder, open the **Sections** tab and choose **Add page**.
2. Under **Choose a page template**, pick what the page shows, such as **For sale**, **Sires & dams**, **A litter / group page**, **About us** or **Contact page**. Templates tagged **Records** fill in from your animal records.

3. Check the details:
   - **Title** is the page name in your menu and at the top of the page.
   - **Page address** is the end of the page's web address. You can change it any time, and old public links keep working.
   - **Show this page on my website**: **Yes, publish with my site**, or **Only me, keep a private draft**.
   - **More options** has **Sort**. Lower numbers come first.
   - Leave **Add to site menu** ticked to add a menu link once the page is published.

4. Choose **Save page**. If your website is live, **Save and publish website changes** saves and publishes in one step.

For an **About us** page, the title box sits below your text and is called **Add a heading (optional)**.

## Keep track of your pages

Choose **Pages** to see **Your pages**. Each page shows its address and where it stands: **Publishes with site**, **Private draft**, **Only you** or **Will be removed when you publish**.

Select a page to edit its sections. The page you have open says **Edit** next to its number of sections; select it again to jump to them. The buttons under each page move it up or down, open its settings (the gear) or delete it (the trash can). A deleted page is marked **Will be removed when you publish**, and **Keep this page** brings it back.

## Write a post

Posts are dated updates and announcements, like a calving report. Visitors find them on your **Updates** page.

1. In **Your pages**, choose **Posts**, then **Create post**.
2. Add a title and your text. Use **Heading**, **Image**, **Gallery** or **Video** above the text to add more. **Featured image** sets the photo shown on post cards and when someone shares the post.
3. Choose **Post settings** to set the **Post address**, **Status**, **Visibility**, **Tags** and **Excerpt** (a short summary for the post list).

4. Choose **Save post**.

A **Draft** post stays private when you publish. A **Published** post goes live the next time you publish your website. **Visibility** (**Public** or **Only you**) changes as soon as you save, so you can hide a post right away.

## Edit the menu

Open the **Menu** tab. For each link, set:

- **Link name**: the words visitors see.
- **Where should this link go?**: **Home**, **A page on my site**, **Experiences**, **Reviews**, **Our story**, **Sires**, **Dams**, **Past animals**, **All my animals**, **For sale**, **Updates** or **Web link**.
- **Who can see this link?**: **Public** or **Only you**.

![Menu tab with Link name, Where should this link go? and Who can see this link? for the Home link](https://cdn-test.creatures.com/f95/d39/199/d9c04.png?width=688)

With **A page on my site**, pick the page under **Choose a page on your site**. If that page is a private draft or set to **Only you**, its link won't appear on your public site.

**Experiences** goes to the Experiences page on your website, where visitors see your experiences, their dates and how to book. If an older link goes to your booking page on creatures.com, it now shows as **Experiences** with a note. Choose **Save menu** to send visitors to Experiences on your website instead.

**Reviews** goes to all your guest and buyer reviews. The link appears once you have a public review.

Use **Move up**, **Move down** and **Remove** to tidy the list, or **Add menu link** for a new one. Then choose **Save menu**.
