Site pages are extremely versatile. They can basically be anything you want them to be. You will see when you select to add a new page you can choose from any number of options, some are pre-formatted for you like the blog and forum, where others like the content page you will need to design yourself. This guide will show you a few ways that you can go about designing a page that is right for your business. 


What are some of the pages that I can design?

There are endless options of what you might design a page to be on your website, but here are a few of the popular ones we've seen...

Adding Call to Action Buttons  to make a site page a sales or opt-in page

Some people prefer to design their own sales or list opt-in page on their Simplero site directly instead of a standalone sales page. This is easy to do on your site by creating a content page and adding a call to action button to it wherever you desire. 

Once you've created the content page, here's how to add the call to action button:

Option 1:

  1. Select Site from your Simplero Dashboard

    • Enter a Label for your button (e.g. "Click Here to Sign Up!")
    • Enter the link of where you want them to go (This could be a product sales page, order form, list opt-in, online scheduler, wherever you want them to end up).

    • Write out the Label for your button (e.g. "Click Here to Sign Up!") 
    • Highlight the text and click on the Insert Link icon in the WYSWYG Editor

    • Add the Link for the button under URL, or choose it from the dropdown menu
    • Click Display as button and Open in a new window (optional)
    • Hit the Insert button to save your changes

NOTE: If you don't put a link into the URL section, the button will not be created. If you don't have a link yet but still want to create the button, you can click on the URL section and choose your homepage from the dropdown menu. Then you can go back and add the correct link in later.


Designing Your Products Page

We all want our customers to be fully aware of the products we are selling. There are a few ways we can do this on our site.

  1. You can create a content page and use the featured products section and feature a select few products of your choice.
  2. You can create a sales page for every product or a single sales page that talks about all your products with buttons that link to their order forms.
  3. You can use the pre-formatted product catalog page. This page is determined by your products catalog. From there you will be able to add categories and list and unlist products.


Social Media Sharing

We know you and your customers want to share your site via social media. But sometimes those shares don't look the way we want them to, and recently Facebook has made changes that prevent users from editing the share. We know this is to protect against the false representation of the shared site but for legit companies like you who want their business to be represented beautifully, this can make things a little harder. So Simplero has made it easy for you to control what image will be in that share, giving you a bit of say in how your site is represented. All you need to do is follow the steps below...

  1. Select Site from your Simplero Dashboard
  2. Select the Pages tab
  3. Find the page you want to share and click the blue Editor button next to the page name
  4. The editor interface screen will open
  5. Select the Settings tab for that page
  6. Scroll down to the Search engines and social section
  7. In the Social sharing image, click the Choose media button
  8. Choose the image you want to be displayed. Note: The image must be at least 200 x 200 to be accepted by Facebook.
  9. Select the blue Save changes button

NOTE: If you add the social sharing image and it doesn't appear when you try to share the page on Facebook, run it through the Facebook Sharing Debugger tool and scrape it a few times until the image appears. See below:


Removing a Page

  1. Select Site from your Simplero Dashboard
  2. Select the Pages tab
  3. Find the page you want to share and click the blue Editor button next to the page name
  4. The editor interface screen will open
  5. Towards the bottom left corner, you will see a grey link that reads"Delete page"
  6. Confirm your request
