Create a web page with blocks
This guide shows you how to create a new page and build it from content blocks — no HTML required.
Who can do this: Admins with the Web Editor role (the website:edit permission). If you don’t have it, the New page button won’t appear.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- Decide what the page is for — an About page, a contact page, a program landing page.
- You don’t need any content ready in advance; you can add and edit blocks as you go.
- In the left sidebar, select Website, then Pages & Collections.
- Select New page. (To start from a ready-made layout instead, select one of the starter templates — Blank page, About us, Contact us, Event landing page, or Donate.)
- Type a Title.
- Check the Slug — the page’s web address. MapleGather fills it in from the title, and you can edit it.
- Optionally choose a Collection.
- Select Create page.
- In the Blocks palette on the left, select a block type — Text, Image, Form, Gadget, Member list, Event list, Donation form, Sponsor, or Embed. The block is added to the bottom of the page.
- To edit a block’s content, open its Block actions menu and select Edit block.
- To remove a block, open its Block actions menu and select Delete block.
Blocks stay in the order you add them; moving a block isn’t available yet. Your work saves automatically a moment after each change. You don’t need to look for a Save button.
Verify
Section titled “Verify”You’ll know it worked when your blocks appear on the canvas in the order you added them and a Saved note shows near the page title. The page stays a Draft until you publish it, so nothing is live yet.
If something goes wrong
Section titled “If something goes wrong”- The slug is already in use — MapleGather shows an error under the Slug field and keeps your other entries. Pick a different slug and try again.
- You’ve reached the 500-page limit — the new-page dialog shows “Page cap reached.” Archive pages you no longer need, then try again. See Publish or unpublish a page for how to archive.
