Create the page
Start the Remarkable Theatre landing page: set its title, web address, and visibility, start from a blueprint or blank, save a draft, and open the live preview.
Start by creating the Remarkable Theatre landing page. You will set its title and web address. You will decide whether it appears in navigation and search. You will choose a starting point and save it as a draft, so nothing is visible to visitors yet. You will build the page content on the following pages, then publish it.
Open the Pages area under Website in Basker. The screen is titled "Pages" with the subtitle Build and manage your website pages.
Click Create New
On the Pages screen, click CREATE NEW at the top to open the page editor.
Add a title and description
On the Content tab, set the Title to Remarkable Theatre. Add a short Description, for example Bold stories, live performance, and new voices. The title identifies the page. Basker uses the title as the page's navigation label. The description is a short summary that appears in listings. The Banner you add next supplies the visible heading.
Set the main image
In the sidebar's Main Image section, choose CREATE NEW to upload the theatre image. Or choose CHOOSE FROM EXISTING to pick one from your media library. The banner in the next step reuses this image.
Set the web address
The sidebar's Slug section has a Generate from title toggle. This toggle is on by default. It turns your title into an address automatically. Leave the Parent dropdown empty to make this a top-level page, at an address such as /remarkable-theatre. See Create pages for the full address and hierarchy options.
Web addresses must be unique in one location
A page's web address only needs to be unique among the pages that share its parent. The same address can appear elsewhere in your site.
Choose navigation and search visibility
The sidebar has two toggles, both on by default:
- Show in Navigation: keep on so the landing page appears in your site's menus.
- Show in Search: keep on so visitors and search engines can find it.
If you need to hide the page later, turn either toggle off. See Visibility.
Start from a blueprint, or stay blank
While the page body is empty, a Start from a blueprint picker sits at the top of the editor. If your site has a suitable page blueprint, choose it from the Choose a blueprint menu. Select Apply Blueprint to add the blueprint's ready-made blocks. The blocks then become your own editable copy.
To build the page by hand instead, as this tutorial does, skip the picker. Leave the body empty. See Blueprints.
Save a draft
Click Save Draft at the top right. This saves the page but keeps it hidden from visitors. You will build its content on the following pages, then publish.
Open the live preview
A live preview pane sits beside the editor. It re-renders as you work, so you can watch the landing page take shape. Most page types work the same way.
Once you publish the page, a View Live Page link appears at the top. It opens the live version in a new tab. Until then, check your draft in the preview pane. See The block editor.
With the page created and saved, you are ready to add the opener.
Where to go next
Build your first page
Build a working landing page for a fictional theatre from blocks: a banner opener, an intro, a grid of upcoming events, then publish.
Add a banner
Add a full-width Welcome banner to the Remarkable Theatre landing page with the page image behind a heading, subtitle, button, and overlay.
