Pages and Content
This guide explains what pages are in Foundry, how to find and edit them, and how to understand the way content is structured.
What Is a Page?
A page is one of the individual pages that visitors can visit on your website. Common examples include:
- About Us
- Services
- Contact
- Blog
Each page has its own content that you can edit separately.
Viewing Your Pages
To see all the pages on your website:
- Click Pages in the left menu.
- A list of all your pages will appear.
You can see the page title and its current status (for example, whether it is Published or a Draft).
Editing an Existing Page
- Click the page name or the edit icon next to it.
- The page editor will open, showing all the editable content fields.
- Make your changes.
- Click Save when you are done.
Tip: You do not need to edit a page all in one go. Save your progress at any point and come back to it later.
Understanding Sections
Most pages are built from multiple sections. A section is a self-contained block of content on a page. For example, a typical Home page might have:
- A Hero Section at the top, with a heading, a short description, and a background image.
- A Services Section showing what your business offers.
- A Testimonials Section showing customer reviews.
- A Contact Section with a call to action.
In the page editor, each section will be displayed as a group of related fields. You will usually see the section name as a heading above the fields.
Edit the fields within each section to update that part of the page.
Creating a New Page
Creating new pages is not a common task for most site admins and may be handled by your web team. However, if your account allows it:
- Click Pages in the left menu.
- Click the New Page button.
- Enter a title for your page.
- Add your content to the fields provided.
- Click Save to create the page as a draft, or choose Publish to make it live.
If you cannot see a New Page button, it may mean your account does not have permission to create pages. Contact your web team or super admin for assistance.
Ordering Content
Some sections, such as services or team members, allow you to reorder the items within them.
If you see a drag handle icon (usually a small set of dots or lines) next to an item, you can click and drag it to change the order.
After reordering, click Save to apply the changes.
Understanding Draft vs Published
Pages and posts can have two main statuses:
- Draft means the content is saved but not yet visible to people visiting your website.
- Published means the content is live and visible to everyone.
This is useful if you want to prepare changes in advance before making them public.
