Basic Pages

Basic pages are used for basic display information for the end user. For example, a page about the history of the department, a page detailing majors or degrees, or a page about study abroad programs are considered basic pages. A basic page is simply a title, with some text in the body, and an optional side bar. Images can be embedded within the body of the page. 

Step 1: Create New Basic Page

First click on 'Content.'

Then 'Add content'

Then click on 'Basic Page'.

You should get to this page:

Step 2: Fill in Relevant Information

The minimum this page needs to have is Title and Body. The side bar is optional. See below. 

Step 3: Save

After you have saved the page, you will see the visual page. In this example, we used the side bar, but again this is optional. If you do not use the side bar, the left hand column will span the whole page. Here is how it will look. 

Also see Adding Images to Content for assistance adding an image to a basic page.
