A comprehensive guide to using the Wander Sites Custom Pages Editor, covering page creation, section types (Hero, CTA, Cards), SEO optimization, and publishing workflows.

Updated this week

Creating custom pages allows you to tailor your site with unique content that resonates with your brand and property. Whether you are building a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page or a neighborhood guide, our block-based editor makes the process intuitive and powerful.


Getting Started: Creating a New Page

Before adding content, you must first establish the page structure:

  1. Navigate to Pages: Go to your Site dashboard, and under the Channels menu, select Pages.

  2. Add Page: Click the + New Page button.

  3. Define Identity: Enter a Page Title and a URL slug. For example, entering "features" will create yoursite.com/features.

    • Note: The system will automatically suggest a slug, but you can customize it to fit your needs.

  4. Finalize: Click Create Page to enter the editor.


Using the Block-Based Editor

Our editor utilizes a section-based system to help you build professional layouts without needing to write code.

Adding Content Sections

To build your page, select the page you wish to edit within the Pages menu and click the + Section button (located either within a block or on the left sidebar). You can choose from several categories:

  • Basics:

    • Home Page Hero: Specifically designed for the main "Home" page of your site.

    • Hero: The prominent top area of a page used to capture immediate attention with headlines and visuals.

    • Content: A standard text body for descriptions.

    • Call to Action (CTA): Interactive elements designed to guide visitors toward goals like booking or signing up.

    • Feature List: Perfect for highlighting property amenities or neighborhood perks.

    • Cards: A visual layout that organizes content into rectangular "cards" for easy scanning.

    • Form & FAQ: Essential for contact inquiries and answering common guest questions.

    • HTML: For advanced users who need to embed custom code.

  • Social Proof:

    • Reviews: Various layout options to display guest feedback.

    • Metrics: Consolidates data like review scores and total nights hosted.

    • Blog Gallery: Organizes your blog posts into a clean gallery view.

  • Assets:

    • Property Gallery: Automatically lists your properties in a navigable format.

    • Photos & Video: Tools to further showcase attractions or property highlights through media.

Editing and Reordering

  • Modify: Click on any section in the Pages menu to open its specific editor. Use the right-hand toolbar to format text or adjust settings.

  • Reorganize: In the left toolbar, you can drag blocks to reorder them or use the "kebab" (three-dot) menu to adjust locations or delete a section.


Optimizing Page Settings & SEO

To ensure your page performs well in search engines, access the settings by clicking the kebab icon to the right of your page and selecting Settings:

  • Custom Slug: Refine the URL for your page.

  • SEO Title Tag & Meta Description: Customize how your page appears in search results to attract more clicks.

  • Featured Image: Set the image that appears when your page is shared on social media.

  • Keywords: Include specific words and phrases that potential guests use to find properties online.

Always click Save Settings to ensure your updates are applied.


Saving and Publishing Your Content

Once your page is ready, you have full control over its visibility:

  • Save Draft: Click Save to keep your progress without making it public.

  • Go Live: Click the kebab icon in the top-right corner of the page and select Publish.

  • Unpublish: If you need to take a page down for maintenance or updates, follow the same steps and select Unpublish.
