How to Create Your First Page in JustCMS

Creating engaging and well-structured pages is crucial for any website. In this article, we’ll walk you through the page creation process in JustCMS, covering everything from static content setup to using dynamic blocks and custom styles.

Static content includes elements such as:

• Title (required)

• Subtitle

• Page slug (required)

• Categories

• Cover image

• SEO details like the title and meta description (title is required)

While the title and slug are mandatory as they’re essential for identifying and optimizing your page, the other elements are optional but add value to your content.

Dynamic content is added using blocks, which bring your pages to life. JustCMS offers:

• Standard blocks: Pre-designed and styled to cover the majority of website needs.

• Custom blocks: Fully customizable to match unique requirements.

Standard blocks are the backbone of most JustCMS pages. Let’s explore what each block can do:

1. Header Block
   The header block allows you to add a headline and an optional subheadline. You can also adjust the size to fit your design. This is often the most important block, as it sets the tone for your page.

2. Text Block
   With the text block, you can add rich text content with basic formatting options like bold text, lists, and links.

3. List Block
   The list block is highly versatile, enabling you to create elements like features, testimonials, or comments. Each list item can have a title and a subtitle, with options to customize its appearance.

4. Embed Block
   The embed block integrates third-party content like YouTube videos or social media posts. Simply paste a link and apply a style, such as "YouTube," to embed the content seamlessly.

5. Image Block
   This block works like an image gallery. You can upload single or multiple images, choose from your existing library, or even generate new images using AI. Styling options let you customize how the images appear on your site.

6. Code Block
   Perfect for displaying code snippets, this block supports different programming languages and ensures your code looks neat and professional.

7. CTA Block
   Use this block for call-to-action elements like buttons or links. Add a URL, descriptive text, and styling to encourage user interaction.

If standard blocks don’t meet your requirements, you can create custom blocks tailored to your specific needs. Custom blocks allow you to build unique content structures using various fields. For a deeper dive, check out our detailed video on custom blocks.
