Understanding page layouts
- [Instructor] Now that we have our site ready, it's time to start building out our pages. Pages are like sections of the newspaper. Our homepage is our front page, but just like a newspaper, you don't put everything on the homepage. You're going to need to break it up into topics. For each topic in a SharePoint site, you might need a new page. We have some starter layouts to get us going. Let's go ahead and create a new page. From the new menu, select Page. The page templates give us a starting point. Our options include Blank, Starter Training, Recap, Message, Visual, and Basic Text. Depending on the content you want to share, you'll need to pick the page layout that works best for you. You may also have custom templates that are saved on your site. Let's use one of the templates from Microsoft and choose Basic Text. From the preview, this looks like it will work for us. Let's click Create Page. When you create a page, the first thing you need to do is add a title. Keeping in mind that this also creates the name of the file. The topic of this page will be wellness at work, and I have a great starting point. On the right-hand side, we see the toolbox. These are the building blocks of our pages, which we will cover in future videos. For now, let's go ahead and save the page. By mastering page layouts, you're ready to design pages that captivate your readers. Keep experimenting with different layouts to find the best match for your content.
