Create a blank web page

You can create a blank web page to add to your website. Remember to add a link to the page before you publish; otherwise, website visitors cannot navigate to the page.

Blank web pages are assigned the default workflow Author > Publish.

Note: It’s a good idea to create the new page and a link to that page at the same time. To do that, see Link to a new page.

  1. In the Contribute browser, click the New button in the toolbar, or select File > New.

    The New Web Page Or Blog Entry dialog box opens.

  2. In the Create New Web Page Or Blog Entry for pane, expand the website in which you want to create the new page, if it is not already expanded, and select Blank Web Page.

    Note: If you don’t see this option, your Contribute administrator has restricted the types of new pages that you can create. For more information, talk to your Contribute administrator or see Specify settings for new web pages.

  3. Enter a page title in the Page title text box.

    This title appears in the browser title bar when a website visitor views the page; it does not appear on the page itself.

  4. Select a template that you want to assign to the web page. The page workflow assigned to the template is displayed below the Preview panel.

  5. Click OK.

    The new page opens as a draft in Contribute. Be sure to add a link to your new page before you publish it (see Create text and image links).

    Contribute creates the new page in the same folder as the page you were viewing when you created the page (unless you selected another website in step 2). You can change the folder location when you publish the new page.
