Create Page

When you create a Site, the first page is made for you. There are two ways to create new pages in Google Sites.

Site Level

When viewing (not editing) most pages in a site, there are several buttons that allow you to perform maintenance on your Site.

Page Templates

The default template offered is 'Web page' and this will be what you need most times. The other templates or Page Types have their uses and should be explored at some time.

Naming

Type in a name for the page - make the name short but descriptive, one that makes sense to another human reading it!

Hierarchy

Now choose where in the Site's hierarchy the page will sit. Choose 'Top level' if the page is the start of a major theme on the site. If the page is subordinate to the page that you are linking from then choose to 'Put the page under ...' In the image above this option happens to be 'White Scar Cave - Field Trip' but this will be the name of the page you were on when you clicked the 'Create page' button.

If you want to create the page somewhere else in the hierarchy, click 'Choose a different location' to open a dialogue where you can select another page to be subordinate to. There is more detail on the Create Link page

From Link

1. Select some text on your page that will be the link that users click to move to the linked page.
2. Click the 'Link' button on the toolbar
3. Select the 'Create new page' button and then type in the name of the new page,
4. Click the 'Create page' button and then OK

This process is described in more detail on the Create Link page
