Creating the About Us Page

Now that you have a master page, you can use it to create pages and populate the site template.

In this lesson, you’ll use compositions—pre-built structures that speed up the process of page building—to create pages to populate the site template. With compositions, you’ll add the elements to the right places in an existing structure to build your page.

Start by creating a page using the master page template from the last lesson.

Creating a Page Using a Master Page Template

  1. Open the Site Menu (Site Menu) and select Site BuilderPages.

  2. Click Add (Add icon) → Add Site Template Page and select the Main template.

    Click New Page to add a new page based on the master page template.

  3. Name the page About Us and click Add. The page editor appears.

All pages have the same structure you set in the Master page: a header, the content in the middle, and a footer. Now, populate the About Us page.

Populating the About Us Page

  1. Look at the Fragments and Widgets tab on the left of the page editor and search for About Us Composition.

  2. Drag and drop the About Us Composition into the editing area.

    A whole structure is set and you can edit its elements. The composition should look like this:

    The About Us composition is set and now you can edit its elements to create your About Us page.

Add some information and images to the composition. Start by editing the first row:

  1. Select the first paragraph element and double-click its content to edit it. Erase its placeholder text and enter this text instead:

    Welcome to Clarity, your premier destination for eyewear solutions. We began as a modest garage operation led by the entrepreneurial spirit of our founders, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, and we have grown into a globally renowned brand that stands as a testment to innovation, quality, and unwavering commitment to eyewear excellence.
    Discover the clarity of vision you deserve with Clarity.
    
  2. Select Discover the clarity of vision you deserve with Clarity.. In the toolbar that pops up, click Bold to emphasize that part of the text.

  3. Select the first image element and double-click its content to open the Documents and Media modal. Open the About Us Images folder and select image 01.

Edit the first row. Add text and images to the composition.

Now, edit the second row:

  1. Repeat the last step and choose image 02.

  2. Enter this text in the paragraph in the middle:

    In the early days, the Andersons scouted thrift stores and garage sales, carefully collecting discarded eyeglass frames and lenses. These seemingly forgotten parts were refurbished meticulously and transformed into unique, eco-friendly eyewear creations.
    
  3. Select image 03 for the image on the right.

Next, edit the third row:

  1. Select image 04 for the image on the left and enter this text into the paragraph on the right:

    Today, Clarity has over 100 stores and offices worldwide, each exemplifying our commitment to excellence in eyewear. From our flagship stores in major fashion capitals to our regional offices dedicated to serving our B2B partners, our presence is a testament to the enduring values of innovation and quality that have shaped our brand.
    

Edit the fourth row:

  1. Enter this text into the paragraph:

    We blend style with sustainability. We craft eco-friendly, innovative eyewear solutions. Our network of worldwide stores ensures quality and personalized service. Experience Clarity for exceptional vision and environmental responsibility.
    

Last, edit the cards. They hold information about the main Clarity offices: an image (a picture of the office), a title (the name of the office), a paragraph (information about the office), and a link (to send the user to the office’s page).

  1. Use the information and the instructions in the table below to fill in the cards:
