Adding a new page to the site
Most web applications grow page by page. Adding one cleanly keeps the site navigable.
The steps
- Add the new page from the editor so the project registers it.
- Give it a clear name that says what it does.
- Link to it from wherever a visitor would expect to find it.
- Run the site and follow the link both ways.
Keep the layout shared
Copying the header and menu into every page means every change must be made many times. Use a master page or a shared include so the frame of the site lives in one place. The Beginner Web Site Kit demonstrates a header, footer and side menu shared across pages.
Check the menu. A new page that nothing links to is invisible. Add it to the navigation in the same session you create it.
Sometimes a page should hand the visitor straight to another. That is sending a visitor to another page.
