Pages & Menus

Under Pages you find all pages of your shop with address, status and creation date.

1. 1New Page: creates a page.
2. 2Homepage: you design it under Shop Design. It is not a normal page and cannot be deleted.
3. 3Legal texts are templates: shows as long as a legal text still contains placeholders.
4. 4Check template: this page still has placeholders in square brackets. Add your details.
5. 5Designer: opens the page in the shop designer. With Edit you change title, address and visibility.

When you register, Pixalo creates four pages and two menus in your shop language:

Click New Page. You only enter the basics. You design the content afterwards in the designer.

1. 1Title: the name of the page in the menu and in the browser tab.
2. 2Slug (URL): the address of the page. Pixalo suggests it from the title and converts accents.
3. 3Published: without the tick the page stays a draft and cannot be reached in the shop.
4. 4Add to main menu: puts the page at the end of the main menu.
5. 5Create & design in the designer: creates the page and opens the shop designer right away.

With Edit you change title, address and visibility. The example shows a privacy policy that still has placeholders.

1. 1Notice: stays visible until all placeholders are replaced.
2. 2Slug (URL): only change the address when needed.
3. 3Published: remove the tick to hide the page for a while.
4. 4Designer: this is where you edit the content. Save title and address with Save.

• New address: menu items follow automatically. Printed or shared links to the old address stop working.
• Draft: the page cannot be found in the shop or the sitemap. Menu items pointing to it are hidden.
• Delete: the bin icon in the list. Menu items pointing to this page are removed too.

Under Menus you decide which items a menu has and in which order. Each card shows the first five items with their target.

1. 1New Menu: creates another menu.
2. 2Roles in short: which menu the designer uses for what.
3. 3Role: Main menu, Legal or Other menu. Next to it the number of items.
4. 4Brush with a number: this many designer widgets have selected exactly this menu.
5. 5Edit, Duplicate, Delete: a copy always starts as Other menu.

Click Edit. On the left you build the menu, on the right you see the preview.

1. 1Purpose: the role of the menu. Above it is the menu name, which only you see.
2. 2Quick picks: add published pages that are still missing with one click.
3. 3Menu Structure: the items in their order. Drag an item up or down by the handle on the left.
4. 4Preview: roughly how the menu looks in the header. Legal shows as a footer row.
5. 5Where does this menu appear?: you set the placement in the shop designer.

A menu item points to a page, to the homepage or to a custom link. The example shows a link to a blog.

1. 1Type: Pages, Homepage or Custom Link.
2. 2URL: starts with / for an address in your shop, with https:// for other websites, with mailto: or tel:.
3. 3Open in a new tab: useful for other websites.
4. 4Label: the text in the menu.
5. 5Handle: to move the item.

• Draft page: the item stays saved but only appears in the shop once the page is published. In the list it carries the Draft tag.
• Required: every item needs a label and a target. If something is missing, Pixalo names the item number.
• One level: menus have no submenus.
