Managing Pages and Menus in AUEN

Effective page and menu management is crucial for creating a well-organized and user-friendly website. AUEN provides tools to help you manage your site structure efficiently. Here's a comprehensive guide on managing pages and menus:

Managing Pages

  1. Accessing Page Management:  Log into your AUEN account and open your website editor. Look for the "Pages" or "Site Structure" option in the main menu.
  2. Adding New Pages: Click the "Add Page" or "+" button in the pages panel. Name your new page and configure its settings.
  3. Editing Existing Pages: Select a page from the list to edit its content and settings. Use the editor to modify page layouts, add or remove content, and adjust page-specific settings.
  4. Reordering Pages: Drag and drop pages in the pages panel to change their order. This often affects the order of pages in your navigation menu.
  5. Deleting Pages: Select the page you want to remove. Look for a delete or trash can icon, and confirm the deletion when prompted.
  6. Page Settings: Configure page-specific settings such as SEO options, visibility, and URL structure.

Managing Menus

  1. Accessing Menu Management: Find the "Menu" or "Navigation" option in your editor.
  2. Adding Menu Items: Click "Add Menu Item" to include new pages or custom links in your menu. For pages, select from your existing pages.For custom links, enter a URL and display text.
  3. Organizing Menu Structure: Drag and drop menu items to reorder them. Create dropdown menus by dragging items slightly to the right, nesting them under parent items.
  4. Editing Menu Items: Click on a menu item to edit its properties, such as the display name or link.
  5. Removing Menu Items: Select the item you want to remove and click the delete or remove option.
  6. Creating Multiple Menus (if supported): Some AUEN plans may allow creating multiple menus (e.g., main menu, footer menu). Use the menu management tool to create and customize different menus.

Best Practices for Page and Menu Management

  1. Logical Structure: Organize your pages and menus in a way that makes sense for your visitors.
  2. Clear Navigation: Use clear, descriptive names for menu items.
  3. Limit Main Menu Items: Keep your main navigation menu concise, typically with 5-7 top-level items.
  4. Use Dropdown Menus Wisely: Group related pages under dropdown menus to avoid cluttering the main navigation.
  5. Consistent Naming: Use consistent naming conventions across your pages and menu items.
  6. Regular Review: Periodically review your site structure and navigation to ensure it remains relevant and user-friendly.
  7. Mobile Optimization: Check how your menus appear on mobile devices and optimize for touch interfaces.
  8. SEO Considerations: Use keyword-rich, descriptive page titles and URLs to improve search engine visibility.

Advanced Tips

  • Custom Links: Use custom links in menus to link to external sites or specific sections within your pages.
  • Hidden Pages: Create pages that aren't in the main navigation for special purposes (e.g., landing pages, thank you pages).
  • Menu Design: Customize the appearance of your menus to match your website's design theme.
By effectively managing your pages and menus, you can create a well-structured website that provides a great user experience and helps visitors find the information they need quickly and easily. Remember to save your changes and preview your site regularly to ensure everything works as intended.
