Five steps to publish a page.
Every page on your storefront follows the same five-step rhythm. The CMS handles drafts, previews, revisions, and the safe handoff from your private workspace to the public site.
Create a page
From the Pages list, click Create CMS Page. Set the title, alias (the URL identifier), template, robot rules, and whether visitors need to sign in. Most pages are ready in under a minute.
- Page title + sitemap text
- URL alias (auto-suggested)
- Pick a template & SSL toggle
- Optional role restrictions
Add widgets
Open the Content Editor. Your template provides named containers (header, main, sidebar, footer). Drop widgets into them — rich text, images, slideshows, contact forms, embeds — then configure each in a short form. Rearrange by drag-and-drop.
- 30+ widget types in the catalog
- Multiple layouts per widget type
- Show/hide widgets without deleting
- Full edit history per change
Preview in the dev workflow
Every save creates a revision. The development workflow is your private staging area — new pages appear there automatically with a preview link. Click through, test the contact form, share the URL internally. Nothing is public yet.
- Auto-published to dev on every save
- Shareable preview URL
- Compare to live version side-by-side
- Edit history with who-did-what
Schedule (optional)
For seasonal sales, holiday promos, or timed announcements, schedule the page to publish and un-publish itself. Set the go-live date and time, optionally set an end date. You can sleep on Black Friday.
- Publish + un-publish dates
- Email reminders to your team
- Per-page or bulk scheduling
- Times in your store time zone
Publish to live
One click. The current revision moves from the development workflow to the live workflow. The public storefront updates immediately. The previous live version is kept as history — one click reverts if something looks off. The whole flow takes under 10 minutes for most pages.
- One-click publish to live
- Previous versions kept as history
- One-click revert if something looks off
- Immediate public update
Draft without risk. Publish without surprise.
The single most important idea in the CMS: you never edit the live site directly. You work in a development workflow — a private copy of the site on its own URL — then deliberately publish your finished revision to the live workflow.
- Two completely separate environments
- Dev workflow only visible to your team
- Live workflow never touched accidentally
- Publish now or schedule for any date/time
- Multi-site: one CMS, multiple storefronts
- Per-locale and per-device revision targeting
Every save kept. Two versions can run at once.
Every change creates a new revision with a log note, an author, and a timestamp. You never lose history. With A/B testing turned on, more than one revision can be live in the same workflow at the same time — visitors are split between them so you can compare a redesigned hero against the original.
- Saved snapshots of every page state
- Compare two revisions side-by-side
- Revert in one click if something looks off
- A/B testing built-in — no third-party tool
- Traffic split percentages you control
- Author + timestamp on every change
Set it. Forget it. Wake up to a live promo.
Schedule any page to publish — and optionally un-publish — at a specific date and time. Black Friday at midnight. Holiday hours banner Dec 17 through Jan 2. Spring class registration goes live on Jan 6 at 9am. Optional email reminders to your team before each runs.
- Per-page or bulk scheduling
- Auto-publish + auto-unpublish
- Email reminders by role or named user
- Times in your store time zone, clearly labelled
- Seasonal promotions that run themselves
- Holiday banners with automatic end dates

What teams ask us most.
No. Every widget has a short configuration form — pick the image, write the heading, choose a layout. The Rich Text widget is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get editor. For teams who do want to drop in custom HTML, CSS, or JavaScript, dedicated Markup Code, CSS Code, and JavaScript Code widgets are available.
Two separate copies of your site, each on its own URL. The development workflow is your private staging area where new pages appear automatically and you draft safely. The live workflow is your public storefront — nothing appears there until you deliberately publish it. This is the single most important concept in the CMS.
They stay as revisions in the page's history. You can revert to any prior version in one click. When deleting a revision, the system asks whether to also remove its template and widget data — cleanup is always deliberate, never accidental.
Yes. Every change is logged with the staff member who made it and a timestamp. The edit history can be filtered by date, by author, and by the kind of change — so you can see exactly who touched what. Pages can also be restricted to certain user roles for permission control.
Yes. Each page can answer on multiple URLs — one is the default and the others redirect to it. When you rename a page, the old URL becomes a redirect automatically. The URLs & Redirects screen also tracks every web address the site knows about, with an HTTP Errors log that flags 404s so you can fix broken links proactively.
Yes. A revision can be narrowed to a specific locale (language) or to a specific user-agent (browser/device). So you can serve a mobile-only variant of the homepage or a French-language variant of a class page. Set up user-agent rules in the User Agents screen and turn on the per-page User Agent Supported toggle.
Every page has Robot Options (Standard / No Index / No Follow / both), an Include in Sitemap toggle, and a Metadata widget for SEO + social tags. The robots.txt file is editable from the admin (with a preview link), and the Search Query Log shows you what visitors typed into your search box — including queries that returned zero results, so you know what content to add.
Yes — pages export to a downloadable .zip file (with or without their revisions), and that file can be imported into another workflow or another site. Useful for cloning a successful campaign page, backing up before a major redesign, or migrating between staging and production.
