As a site administrator or designer, when you create a site page, you can choose to base it on a [page template](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_page_master.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Before you begin building the pages of your website, take some time to plan the pages you need, and in particular, which pages have a similar layout. When you've decided on the layout, the quickest method is to use a page template to build the basic layout."). If you're creating several site pages that have common page elements, such as a navigation menu, you can save time and effort and achieve a consistent look and feel by [creating a page template](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_page_master_create.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "A page template lets you define the layout and functionality of site pages in one location. By adding common page elements to the template and then basing site pages on it, you can achieve a consistent look and feel throughout your site. And because a template-based page inherits the template's elements, you can make site-wide changes from one location.") first and then basing your site pages on it. Alternatively, if none of your site pages have a similar structure or if you need to create a one-off site page that doesn't follow the overall site design, such as a home page, you can create a page based on a basic layout.

Create Site Pages from a Layout

Start from scratch with a completely blank page or use a basic page layout.

1. Hover over **Site Pages** on the Overview tab and click **New**, or click **New** | **Site Page** when the Site Pages view is open.
2. Enter the site page name. Page names can't include spaces or special characters, such as #, ?, or @.
3. Click **Layouts** and select either a blank page or a predefined page layout, such as a page with a header and footer.

    Note Predefined page layouts use [panels](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_panel_add.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "A panel is a useful layout tool that defines the logical divisions of your page and lets you group page elements together for easy movement and positioning. Think of it as a container for other page elements, including other panels, or as a div that wraps around the content placed within it. Panels are ideal for adding editable areas to page templates.") to create columns, headers, and footers. These panels use inline CSS to set their position, so you can easily modify the layout after the page is created. However, if you're familiar with CSS and prefer using CSS rules, you can remove the inline style by selecting the panel, deleting the code from the Code tab in the Style pane (![Style](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/extend_click/images/siteforce_icon_css.png)), and clicking **Apply**.
4. Choose a layout mode:
    - To expand the page to fill the width of the browser window, click **Full width**.
    - To set the page width, click **Fixed width** and enter the width.
5. Click **Create**. The site page opens.

The quickest option is to:

1. Select the template in the Page Templates view and click **![Actions](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/extend_click/images/siteforce_icon_actions.png)** | **Create Page from Template**. Alternatively, click **Page Actions** | **Create Page from Template** if the template is open.
2. Enter the site page name. Page names can't include spaces or special characters, such as #, ?, or @.
3. Click **Create**. The site page opens.

Tip You can also create pages by [converting or duplicating other pages](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_page_working_with.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "When working with pages and templates, you can perform common tasks, such as renaming, deleting, or duplicating pages.").
