To Create a New Page:

Note: Before creating a new Web Page do the following

• Determine how the page fits into the site structure and in which folder it belongs.
• Make sure that the navigation scheme is appropriate (i.e. users can find the page).
• Decide which template you should use

1. Make sure you are in the Content Contribution view.
2. Open the folder in the Project Pane (left pane) that you want to create a new page in.
3. On the toolbar, click New Document.
4. In the New Document window, do the following (see Figure 1):
   • In the Name box, enter a name for the new page.
     Note: Aim for page names between 8 to 16 characters. Page names should be all lowercase letters and numbers with no spaces and no special characters. To signify spaces use a hyphen.
   • In the Description box, enter a brief one to two sentence summary that helps users determine whether they want to visit the page.
   • Click OK.
