To create a blank, empty new page for your website, follow these steps:
Access Your Website’s Backend: Log in to the admin dashboard of your website. This could be through a content management system (CMS) like WordPress, Joomla, or a custom-built platform.
Navigate to the Page Section: If using a CMS, locate the “Pages” or “Add New” section in the dashboard menu. This is typically found in the main sidebar.
Create a New Page: Click on the “Add New” button. This will open a new editor window where you can start building the page.
Set the Page Enter a title for your new page. While it can be anything relevant, many prefer using “Untitled” or simply the intended function of the page (like “New Page”).
Leave Content Blank: Do not add any text, images, or other elements to the main content area if you want it to be completely blank.
Configure Page Settings: Check other settings such as visibility (make sure it’s set to public if you want it accessible), parent page (if this is a subpage), and any SEO settings if applicable.
Preview the Page: Use the preview function to see how the page will look once published. It should display a clean slate without any content.
Publish the Page: Once you are satisfied with the setup, click on the “Publish” button to make the page live.
Link to the Page: If necessary, add links to your new blank page from other parts of your website, like the navigation menu, to make it easily accessible in the future.
Now, you have successfully created a blank, empty page on your website! You can return to edit and add content whenever you need.
One response to “How to set up a new, blank webpage for my site?”
This is a straightforward guide for anyone looking to set up a blank page on their website! One thing I would suggest considering is the purpose of your blank page. While having a blank slate is useful for future content, it might also be beneficial to think about how the page will fit into your overall site structure.
If this page is meant to serve as a landing page or a product showcase later on, you might want to plan its layout and design now rather than later. Additionally, even though the page is initially blank, including a few SEO-friendly keywords in the title and configuring any meta descriptions could help improve its visibility when you’re ready to add content.
Lastly, don’t forget to utilize this space for any temporary messaging or promotional announcements—setting up a simple one-liner or a placeholder could engage visitors while you build out the full content. Great post!
