The page builder

Assemble sales pages, about pages and event pages from blocks: eleven block types, multi-column sections, templates, version history, and pasting raw HTML.

Site → Pages. Anything that isn't a course or a blog post is built here: about, contact, sales pages, event sign-ups, thank-you pages.

The page list: title, URL, whether it's in the menu, parent, publish status

Your home page is a page too and can be fully customised; delete all its blocks to fall back to the default layout.

Two kinds of page

Pick one when you create it:

  • Content page — a real page built with the block editor
  • Menu link — just an entry in the navigation pointing at an external URL or an internal path (/shop, /blog), optionally opening in a new tab

The editor: build left, watch right

The page editor: blocks and their settings on the left, live preview on the right

Add and reorder blocks on the left; the live preview on the right updates as you go. Click anything in the preview and the left panel jumps to its settings.

Eleven block types

Block What it's for
Hero carousel Full-width image and headline; multiple slides, adjustable height and transition
Multi-column section Side-by-side columns — and your section wrapper: background colour/image, padding, content width
Text / HTML Regular content with a full editor; switch to source mode to paste HTML
Button Links to checkout or anywhere else, or opens a form in a popup
Image A single image, optionally linked
Course list All courses or a chosen set, with columns per row and page size
Product list The same, and can pull in a whole product category
VSL video The CTA button only appears after the video reaches a set number of seconds
One-click upsell Charges the card saved at the student's last checkout (Stripe only)
Opt-in form Inline or popup; submissions join your subscriber list. Can reuse a saved form
Countdown A fixed deadline, or an evergreen timer that starts per visitor
FAQ A collapsible question-and-answer list

The multi-column block is your layout skeleton. Want "a dark band across the page"? Use it: set the background and padding, then drop elements into the columns.

Three layout switches worth knowing

  • Show header / show footer — turn both off and the page becomes a standalone landing page with no navigation, so visitors only go forward
  • Header style — white, or transparent (the hero colour runs behind it with white text). With transparent, make sure the hero is dark and switch to a light logo
  • Spacing below each element — tune density block by block

Columns per row need a save

Course and product lists let you set how many fit per row. Press save after changing the dropdown or it won't take effect — the single easiest step to miss.

Layouts, templates and versions

  • Apply a ready-made layout — one click for a whole design. ⚠️ It replaces the current content
  • Save as template — keep this page as your own template and insert it later into pages or funnels; templates export to a file and import back
  • Insert template — if the page already has content, choose whether to append or replace
  • Version history — every save keeps a version you can preview and restore; restoring saves the current content as a version first, so you can always come back

Building a page by pasting HTML

Paste HTML page on the page list is for whole pages generated by AI: paste in the complete HTML from ChatGPT or Claude and it renders full-screen, exactly as written — CSS and JS preserved, nothing simplified away. Limit 5MB.

Pair it with Copy selected URLs for AI in the media library: upload your images, hand the AI the URLs, ask it to lay out a page with them, paste the result back.

⚠️ When pasting a full page into a Text/HTML block, stay in source mode when you save. Switching back to visual mode strips <style> and <script>.

Menus and hierarchy

Straight from the page list:

  • In menu — tick to show it in the storefront navigation
  • Parent — set one and the page becomes a dropdown item under it
  • Drag to reorder — the order is the menu order; remember to save it
  • Courses and Shop are system entries: they can't be deleted, but you can rename and reorder them

Multiple languages

The editor has one-click AI translation into the other languages you've enabled, and a way back to the original at any time.

⚠️ Running several languages hurts SEO (one URL, several versions of the content) unless you genuinely serve those markets — see the SEO check.


FAQ

Should a sales page be a page or a funnel? One page on its own: a page. A sequence (sales → checkout → thank you → upsell): a funnel.

I broke the layout — can I get it back? Yes: version history, pick a version, restore. Which is also the argument for saving often.

What happens when the countdown hits zero? Your choice: show 00, hide the timer, replace it with a message, or redirect somewhere else.

Why does the one-click upsell button do nothing? It needs four things: the feature on, the student signed in, a card saved at their last checkout, and them not already owning the course. If any fails it quietly falls back to a normal checkout link rather than a dead button. Stripe only.

The images in my pasted HTML are missing. Use full URLs from the media library. Local paths and hotlinked images break sooner or later.
