Copy a starter web page

Contribute comes with built-in starter web pages that you can copy and use on your website. Use any of these pages as a starting point for your web page.

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

Remember to add a link to the page before you publish it; otherwise, website visitors cannot navigate to the page.

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, do the following:

    1. Expand the website in which you want to create the new page, if it is not already expanded.

    2. Expand the Starter Web Pages folder, and then select a starter web page.

      Note: If you don’t see the Starter Web Pages folder, 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.

      A preview of the page you select appears in the Preview pane on the right side of the dialog box.

  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. Click OK.

    The new page opens as a draft in Contribute. For information about editing the starter web page, see Edit a starter web page. Also, be sure to add a link to your new page before you publish it (see Create text and image links).

    Note: 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.
