Welcome! This guide will show you how to add a new page to your website using uSkinned Site Builder for Umbraco. You don’t need any coding skills or technical knowledge to get started—our Visual Editor makes the process as simple as filling out a form.
How to Create Your New Page
Getting your content online is a quick, three-step process. By using the Umbraco Backoffice and uSkinned’s intuitive tools, you can initialize a professional web page in seconds, ensuring your site remains organized and easy to navigate as it grows.
Step 1: Find Your Starting Point
-
Log in to your Umbraco Backoffice.
-
Go to the Content section on the left-hand side. This is your "digital filing cabinet" where all your pages are organized in a tree structure.
-
Right-click on your Home node (or any existing page where you want your new page to live).
Step 2: Choose Your Creation Method
You have two easy ways to start your new page:
-
Option A: Standard Create
-
From the menu that appears, select Create.
-
Choose Web Page from the list of options.
-
Option B: Quick Create
-
Select the Quick Create feature from the menu. This is the fastest way to build out your site's map and add content in one go.
Step 3: Name and Launch
-
Name your page: Type a name into the bar at the top (e.g., "Our Services") . uSkinned will automatically use this name to create your page title and a clean, search-engine-friendly web address (URL).
-
Save and Publish: Click the Save and Publish button at the bottom. Your page is now live on your site!
Helpful Features for New Users
-
Visual Editor: Once your page is created, you can use the Visual Editor to see your changes in real-time as you build.

Preview Mode: Want to see how it looks before anyone else does? Use Preview mode to double-check your work.

Easy Organization: If you ever need to move your page later, you can simply sort and reorder the nodes in your menu tree.
