# Creating a Page

https://docs.wisecp.com/fr/creating-a-page

Publish a standing page on your website, such as About or Contact, and write it in every language you serve.

## Reaching the Screen

Panel menu: **Site Management**, then **Pages**. Above the list, click **Create Page**.

`{admin}/manage-website/pages/add`

## What Is on the Screen

One form, under a strip of language tabs.

- **Language tabs**: One tab per published language, at the top of the form.
- **The form**: Title, web address, sidebar, background image and content.
- **Search Engine Optimization (SEO)**: An indexing switch, a page title and a meta description.

### The language tabs

The tabs choose which language you are writing. **Title**, **Link Structure**, **Content** and the SEO boxes hold one value per language.

Settings shared by every language, such as **Hide Sidebar** and **Background Image**, appear on the default language tab only.

### The web address

**Link Structure** shows the address the page will get. It follows the title as you type.

The pencil button lets you rewrite the bold part by hand. The panel checks it and warns you when another page already holds that address.

### Search engine settings

**Enable SEO** starts on. It opens **Page Title** and **Meta Description** for the tab's language, each with a length meter.

Those two become the page's browser title and its meta description on the website.

## Fields

- **Title**: Required on every language tab. Saving stops while one is empty.
- **Link Structure**: Optional. Left alone, it is built from the title.
- **Hide Sidebar**: Off. Turn it on to show the page at full width.
- **Background Image**: Optional. Sits behind the page header. The screen suggests 1920 x 400 px, up to 2 MB, JPG, PNG, SVG or WebP. Whatever you upload is scaled to 1920 px wide and keeps its own proportions, so the height is not fixed.
- **Content**: The page body, written per language in the editor.
- **Enable SEO**: On. Off keeps the two boxes below from being saved.
- **Page Title**: Optional, per language. Empty falls back to the title.
- **Meta Description**: Optional, per language.

## Tasks

### Write and publish the page

1. Fill in **Title** and **Content** on the first language tab.
2. Open each remaining tab and fill the same two boxes there.
3. Click **Create**. The page is saved as active and the page list opens.

### Set the address by hand

1. On the language tab you want, click the pencil next to **Link Structure**.
2. Type your wording over the bold part and press Enter.
3. A warning under the address means it is taken. Pick another wording and the warning clears.

## Things to Watch

> **Every language needs a title**
> 
> The save is refused when a language tab has no title, and the message names the language. Content may stay empty, a title may not.

> **A new page is not in any menu**
> 
> Saving publishes the page at its own address. Visitors reach it from a menu only after you add it in **Menu Management**.

> **The page opens as active**
> 
> A page created here is live right away. The **Status** switch, which takes it back offline, appears once you reopen the page for editing.

## Required Privileges

The screen and its save need `MANAGE_WEBSITE_OPERATION`. Without it the create button is missing from the page list.
