Page structure is the skeleton of every website. Get it right and visitors find what they need in a click; get it wrong and even good content disappears into a maze of broken hierarchies. This guide covers the Sitejet page manager, creating and configuring pages, URL redirects (critical when restructuring or migrating), navigation best practice and the essential pages every UK small-business website should include.

Google uses your site’s page hierarchy to understand what each page is about and how it relates to the others. Visitors use the same hierarchy to decide whether to click deeper or leave. A clean three-level structure (homepage → category pages → detail pages) works for 95% of UK SMEs.
Common mistakes: orphan pages no one can reach, duplicate URLs for the same content, too many top-level menu items (confuses visitors), missing essential pages (privacy, contact).

Q: How many pages can I have on Sitejet Builder?
A: Practical limit is a few hundred. Beyond that, a dedicated CMS (WordPress) becomes a better fit for large content operations.
Q: Can I bulk-edit pages?
A: No bulk editor — each page has its own settings. Automation is available via scripting if you have technical capacity.
Q: Do I need separate mobile pages?
A: No. Pages are responsive by default. Use per-device overrides for minor mobile tweaks inside the same page.
Q: How do I hide a page from navigation but keep it accessible?
A: Page settings → Navigation visibility → Hidden. The page still exists at its URL and can be linked to directly.
Q: What happens if I delete a page with inbound links?
A: Those links become 404s. Always set up a 301 redirect to a relevant alternative before deleting.
Q: Can I have pages in different languages?
A: Yes — either as sibling pages under the homepage (/cy/ for Welsh) or as sub-sites. For UK, Welsh and Polish are common secondary languages.
