Setting Up Site Map

On the Edit step, you can perform the following operations on your site pages:

• Rename a page (if you have not done it on the Pages step)
• Specify page's file name
• Hide a page in site navigation
• Provide keywords (meta-tags) for search engines and specify page description to be shown in search results

Renaming Pages

To rename a page, select it in the Site map area and provide a new name in the Page title field. This will rename the page in the site menu and in the browser's title bar. Note that the page title may contain 256 symbols at maximum.

Specifying Keywords to be Used by Search Engines

The keywords should be carefully selected to reflect the page content, because they are used by search engines to find your site pages on the Internet.

To provide a page with keywords, select the necessary page in the Site map area and type the desired keywords in the Page keywords field.

Providing Description to be Displayed in Search Results

Description is displayed with the page title and URL when the page appears as a result of a user's query on a search engine. Therefore, description should give the main idea of the page, so everyone could instantly understand what the page is about.

To provide a page with description, select the necessary page in the Site map area and type the desired text in the Page description field.

Hiding Pages in Site Navigation

In Plesk Sitebuilder, you can make certain pages invisible in site menu. The page which you choose to hide will be accessible only by clicking a link placed on other pages of your site (or wherever you would like to place it). Note that when a site visitor actually accesses a hidden page, it appears in the site menu, and when they switch to another (not hidden) page, the hidden page disappears again.

To hide a page in the site navigation menu, clear the Show this page in site map check box. In the Wizard interface, hidden pages are highlighted with grey color in the site map and in the site structure on the Pages step.

You can hide both first and second level pages.

To understand how hiding pages correlates with pages hierarchy, see the example below:

Let the site structure look as follows:

• Page 1
• Page 2 (hidden)
• Page 3
  • Page 3.1 (hidden)
  • Page 3.2
• Page 4 (hidden)
  • Page 4.1
  • Page 4.2 (hidden)

To understand the dependency of pages' visibility and position in the hierarchy, see the table below.
