Adding and arranging sections on your website

Each page of your website is a stack of sections, such as a big welcome photo, your animals or a contact form. On the Sections tab of the website builder, pick a page, add the sections you want, and put them in order. Your changes wait in your draft until you publish.


Pick a page


The Sections tab opens on your Homepage. Choose Pages to switch to another page from Your pages. To make a new page, see Adding pages, posts, and menu links to your website. Your story opens your story writer; see Writing your website story.


Add a section


  1. Under Add section, open Choose section. Suggested lists the sections that suit your template. All sections lists everything.
  2. Pick one, then choose Add section.

What the main sections do:


  • Big welcome photo and Our story greet visitors on your homepage.
  • Animals, Groups / Litters, Sires, Dams, Past animals, Pedigree and Health fill in from your animal records. Their names follow your species, so a cattle breeder sees Breeding animals: Bulls and Groups and litters.
  • Reviews shows guest and buyer reviews from Creatures.
  • Contact, Application and Booking let visitors reach you, apply or book.
  • Gallery, Text and photos, Quick facts strip, Follow us, Services list (text only), How it works and Ways to help hold your own photos, words and links.


A section that fits only once per page, such as Contact, is grayed out when the page already has it.


Move, copy or remove a section


Each section has Move up, Move down, Move to top and Move to bottom buttons, or you can drag the dotted handle. The three-dot More actions menu adds Duplicate and Remove entire section. Removing a section doesn't delete your animals or photos. They stay in Creatures.


Choose which animals a section shows


Select an Animals section to open its settings. Show as sets One featured animal or A grid of animals.

Choose Choose animals to decide who appears:


  • Automatic (the default) shows matching animals, and new ones join on their own. To drop one animal from this section only, choose Hide next to it, then Apply selection.
  • Chosen animals shows an exact set of up to 48, in your order. Search or filter by Species, Sex and From, tick the animals you want, then choose Apply selection.

Back in the settings, Species and Breeds (optional) narrow the match, and Include documented crosses adds animals whose recorded breed makeup includes that breed. Show picks All eligible animals, Available for sale only or Featured animals (starred on your profile). Maximum cards can be 1 to 48.


These choices change only this section. To hide an animal from your whole website, use Manage website eligibility. See Choosing which animals appear on your website.


Replace example text


New sections start with sample wording marked "Example text, replace it with yours." Type your own words in the section settings or straight into the preview. Happy with the sample? Choose Keep this wording. In the section settings, Keep all in this section keeps every example line at once when there are two or more. Hide removes an optional line, and Use example text brings the sample back. A line with no sample wording says Blank on your website until you add text. and offers only Hide until you type.

Renaming an animal, group or organization in the preview changes its real name in Creatures right away.


Good to know


  • A Contact section's Inquiry form setting is Show the inquiry form or Show the contact button only. It also shows the email, phone and location from your website settings.
  • In Text and photos, a Video block plays YouTube and Vimeo links. Other links show as a plain link.
  • Application appears to visitors only while Program waitlist intake is set to Open on your Applications page.
  • If you own a female animal, Share upcoming offspring appears under the Sections heading. It starts a page you can share about an expected litter or clutch.
