PageMason Page Names

Page names are the name of the page that your viewers that come to your site, they are most commonly always lower-cased. It is the name of the file you will be creating to be stored on your web site.

The following things to remember in naming your pages are:

  1. Lowercase, try to keep them lowercase at all times, this helps linking other pages correctly too.
  2. Keep them simple, having to long of a name of a page can be problematic to some viewer's browsers.
  3. Keep them all one word if you can use underscore to separate the page names but always keep it in a concept of one word if you can.

The following page names are INCORRECT:

  • Product Page
  • product page
  • PRODUCT
  • HOMEPAGE
  • home
  • my home page
  • my first site
  • My Site
  • this_is_my_first_page_and_welcome_to_my_site

The following page names are CORRECT:

  • index
  • default
  • products
  • about_us
  • about_me
  • biography
  • my_blog
  • contact_us
  • contactus
  • links
  • company
  • information

NOTE: About Home Pages, the best way is to leave the default homepage as index since the site recognizes that as to be the main page of the site, renaming your homepage is not recommended.

Page Titles

Page titles are basically what you see on the top of your browser, where like on Mozilla Firefox, it'll say something like Your Homepage - Mozilla Firefox. In this case "Your Homepage" is the Page Title. It is different than your page name. Page Title is basically what the title of your page. Page Title can be in any format, spaces, numbers, characters etc. etc.

Site Location

PageMason can be used to create only one website. If you have already designed a site for your primary domain, and want to use PageMason to create a site for an add-on domain, you will need to change the publication location. Log into your PageMason account, then click on the Edit Site Publish Location link. In the window that pops up, type in the folder for your add-on domain. Now click on the Save path button.
