Create Custom Pages

Custom pages can be used for FAQs, Terms of Service, or whatever else you need. Tailor your content to your heart's desire!

Updated over a week ago

Custom pages are essential for building trust with customers on your storefront. A website with only a few pages may seem less legitimate. Having more pages, even if not frequently clicked, gives a well-rounded impression.


A few examples of pages you might want on your site:


Steps for creating a custom page:

With our new page editor, you can create a new page. Navigate to the Website tab, select Customize, open the pages dropdown list at the top, and click Add New Page. Then you can give the page a Name and Page URL.

After creating the page, you can Add New Blocks or edit the general Page Settings.

For instance, we can click on the default Text Block and change the content. It is also possible to delete it.

You can open the Page settings to manage the following properties:

  • Page Name: internal theme name of the page. You will see the name only on the pages on the dropdown list at the top bar. Please note that it doesn't affect anything on your website

  • Page URL: it's the identifier slug of the page URL address

  • SEO Title: it's a title for the page, visible on web browsers

  • SEO Description: used to inform search engines/users with a short, relevant summary of what your page is about

  • Page Visibility: choose whether your page is visible or not on your website

Also, you can change the Liquid Template on the Advanced Settings. All templates can be created in the Code editor. By default, a template is a simple editor_page.liquid that exists in every theme that supports the new editor.

NOTE: Changes to page settings are published immediately. For instance, If you change the Page URL, it will be replaced instantly.

Other changes will be saved on the draft by default. To make the changes public, click the Publish button at the top right corner of the theme editor.

NOTE: Clicking the Publish button will make all changes in the theme public, not only the page you see on your screen.

When you create a new page in the Theme Editor, a JSON file will be generated with the page's blocks. The name of the page is the same as the page URL.

While it allows you to add advanced customization, we wouldn't recommend editing this file unless you are a well-rounded web developer. You can hire a developer for advanced custom changes.


⛔️ Legacy Page Editor

If you haven't had a chance to update to our newer themes, creating a custom page is different from customizing your theme. You won't be able to use the theme editor to add or edit blocks for the custom page.

This page is essentially hidden unless you place a link to it somewhere in your theme. You can see how to set up navigation and link to custom pages here.


Example Pages

Privacy Policy Page

You'll need your own Privacy Policy Page for your business. Uscreen cannot provide you with a privacy policy. We recommend referring to your legal council in regard to coming up with your privacy policy. In the meantime, you can start by reviewing some sample text for you to edit.

Next, you'll create a new page as outlined above.

Once it is created, it will immediately allow you to add blocks and immediately customize them by adding blocks/texts. Don't forget to publish

Once this is done, you may refer to the short clip above on how to add it to the navigation items


Terms and Conditions Page

Please note: We can offer sample text to help you draft the content for your terms and conditions page. However, we strongly recommend that you seek legal advice from your attorney for any legal concerns.


Contact Us Page

Adding a contact page to your storefront will help your customers contact you if they have any questions or need help.

You can also use a Custom Code Block for your contact us page to embed a 3rd party contact form.

This is an example of an embed code using Google Forms for a contact us page:

<center><iframe src="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScCtCyEjXpcsYvC9DgDiQib16xusXcfP0NaCkM6qUv9PZInuA/viewform?embedded=true" width="640" height="1000" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">Loading…</iframe></center>
  • You can add center tags to your code to center the form on the page.

    • <center>
      embed code
      </center>

  • You can also adjust the height of your embed form to make sure all of the important information is visible.


FAQs Page

An FAQ page is a great idea for providing some quick answers for customers on some of the more common questions customers have about their accounts. It can save an email to you if a customer can find an answer on their own.

Before you add an FAQ page, let's get you started with some content. Copy the code below:
