The content of your online store is just as important as the products itself. The Page builder was created for you to be able to personalize your store to your liking. Static pages are a great tool, allowing the merchant to add information pages, such as the FAQ page or External page link. Below you can check out the full options provided by the Static Page functionality.
You can find the Page Builder in section Marketing > Landing pages in your control panel. From there you would be able to add informational Static Pages. Afterward, you would be able to redirect your desired links and banners towards those pages. Having internal links for your store is also a good idea, so it's best to think about what information your clients would need to better navigate within your site.
CloudCart provides you with the choice of five different pages:
- Drag & Drop Page Builder
- Drag & Drop Page Builder for system pages
