Create a sidebar
Sidebars are used for information users typically always want, but is unrelated to the current page. For example, sidebars may contain Contact Us information, hours of availability, most popular pages on the site, etc... Once you create a sidebar you can use it any number of times on webpages.
There are two ways to create sidebars:
- Create sidebars directly in the page you are creating
- Create sidebars ahead of time for later use
Create sidebars at the same time as creating a Basic or Service page
While creating a Basic or Service Page, go to the bottom of the page and click Add New Sidebar
Enter the sidebar title, [optional] email address and [optional] phone number
The title is only to select the sidebar in the future when adding it to a page. It does not appear anywhere on the webpage.
Use the three buttons on the bottom to build out the content for the sidebar
