How to Add & Organise Pages

Your Website is Living Thing

One of the best things about the Stride template you just bought is that it isn’t "locked." Unlike an expensive agency website that requires a phone call (and an invoice) to change a comma, your Google Site allows you to expand whenever you like.

Maybe you’ve launched a new service. Maybe you want to show off a gallery of recent projects. Or perhaps you want a private page just for client onboarding.

Got a new idea? Let’s give it a home.

1. Open your website in the Google Sites editor.

2. Click the "Pages" tab on the right-hand sidebar.

3. Hover over the big + (Plus) button at the bottom.

4. Click "New Page".

5. Type your page name (e.g., "Services" or "Pricing") and click Done.

If you offer three different services (e.g., "Dog Walking," "Pet Sitting," and "Grooming"), you don't want to clutter your top menu bar with too many links. The solution? A drop-down menu.

1. Create your main page (e.g., "Services").

2. Create your specific pages (e.g., "Dog Walking").

3. In the Pages sidebar, click and drag the "Dog Walking" page on top of the "Services" page.

4. Release your mouse.

Sometimes you want a page to exist, but you don't want it in the main menu.

1. Example: A "Thank You" page that people only see after they fill out a form.

2. Example: A "Client Onboarding" page you only email to new customers.

How to do it:

1. Go to the Pages tab.

2. Find the page you want to hide.

3. Click the three dots (⋮) next to the page name.

4. Select "Hide from navigation"

Do you have a shop on Etsy? Or a booking page on Calendly? You can add a link to your menu that takes people straight there.

1. Hover over the + (Plus) button again.

2. Instead of "New Page," click "New Link".

3. Paste your Etsy/Calendly URL.

4. Name it (e.g., "Shop" or "Book Now").

1. The "Portfolio" or "Gallery" Page

People buy with their eyes. If you are a gardener, decorator, or artist, add a page called "Recent Work."

• Tip: Use the "Image Carousel" block to let people swipe through your photos.

2. The "FAQ" Page

Tired of answering the same questions? ("Do you travel?" "Do you take credit cards?").

• Tip: Create a simple FAQ page using the "Collapsible Group" text feature. It keeps the page tidy and saves you hours of email time.

3. The "About the Team" Page

If you’ve hired staff, give them a shout-out!
