Building a page
Create or open a page, start from a blueprint, add and arrange blocks, preview, and publish.
A page in Basker follows the same flow every time. Create or open it, build the body from blocks, check it in preview, and publish. This page covers the flow end to end and points you to the detailed page for each step.
Create or open a page
Start a new page, or open an existing one to edit. When you create a page, you set its title, web address, parent page, navigation and search visibility, and template. See Create pages for the full walkthrough.
Start from a blueprint (optional)
While a page's body is empty, a Start from a blueprint picker appears at the top of the editor. Pick a blueprint from the list. The list shows the placeholder Choose a blueprint until you pick one. Select Apply Blueprint to add its blocks to your page.
This copies the blocks once. The page gets its own editable copy. Later edits to the blueprint do not change pages already built from it. Only blueprints made for this content type appear in the list. For example, a page shows page blueprints, and an event shows event blueprints. If none exist yet, the picker shows No blueprints available yet. with a link to create one.
See Blueprints to create them, and see Blueprints vs templates for how a blueprint differs from a template.
Once a page has blocks, the picker disappears. Add a blueprint's content one block at a time instead.
Add and arrange blocks
Build the body in the block editor. Add blocks, reorder them by dragging, and duplicate or remove them as needed. See The block editor for the controls. See Building pages with blocks for how the blocks fit together. Each block has its own page under Website Builder that describes what it does.
Some blocks appear only in certain situations. Event blocks such as Event Instances and Venue appear only while you build an event page. Ticketing blocks for a connected app appear only after you configure that app.
Save a draft
Basker saves your work as a draft while you edit. The page stays hidden from visitors until you publish. See Drafts and preview for how draft, scheduled, and published states work.
Preview
The editor's live preview shows your unsaved draft as it will appear on your site. To compare it with what visitors see now, select View Live Page. This opens the published version in a new tab. See Drafts and preview for shareable preview links for reviewers.
Publish
Publish from the top of the editor. The publish control also lets you schedule publication for later, or return a page to draft. See Drafts and preview.
