Adding your own pages

Beyond the sections Psalmly builds for you automatically (see Your public page), you can add your own pages to your church's public website — anything the fixed sections don't cover. A Mothers Day Out daycare page with a pricing table, a recovery ministry, a "rent our hall" page, a guide to a special program: all live as their own page on your public site. You'll find Pages in the admin sidebar.

Designed blocks, not a blank canvas

Custom pages follow the same idea as the rest of Psalmly: you supply the content, and Psalmly owns the design. You won't pick fonts, choose colors, or drag boxes around. Instead you build a page from a small set of pre-designed blocks, and Psalmly styles them to match your site — same theme, same accent color, same look as your other pages. The upside is that your custom pages always look polished and on-brand without any design work, and they can never end up looking out of place.

Creating a page

On the Pages screen, click New page. The editor is a split screen: you build on the left, and on the right a live preview shows exactly what a visitor will see, updating as you type.

Start at the top with the page's header:

• Page title — the big heading at the top of the page (e.g. Grace Daycare).
• Nav label — the short name that appears in your website's menu (e.g. Daycare). It starts from your title; shorten it if you like.
• Web address — where the page lives, e.g. yourhandle.psalmly.app/grace-daycare. Psalmly fills this in from your title and checks as you type that it's Available (not already used and not a reserved word like events or about). You can edit it, but once a page is published, changing its address means old links stop working — so change it early.
• Lead — an optional one-line intro shown under the title.
• Icon and SEO description — a small icon for your menu, and a one-sentence summary for search engines.

The building blocks

Under Sections, click Add section and pick a block. You can add up to 12 blocks per page, reorder them (the up/down arrows), collapse them while you work, and remove any you don't need. The five blocks are:

• Rich text — paragraphs, lists, bold, and links. Use it for prose: telling the story, explaining a program, a warm welcome.
• Heading — a titled break between sections, with an optional kicker and intro line. Use it to organize a longer page.
• Table — a tidy grid. Use it for pricing, schedules, or simple comparisons (e.g. Infants — $200/week). Add columns and rows as you need them.
• Cards — a row of short titled cards, each with an icon. Use it for a list of features, amenities, programs, or age groups (e.g. Playground · Swimming pool · Reading lessons).
• Call to action — a band with a button. Point it at your contact form, your giving page (when online giving is set up), or any link.

If you'd rather not start from scratch, Psalmly can draft the whole page from a description — see Drafting a page with AI.

Publishing it

Like the rest of your public page, a new page starts as a Draft — only you can see it (in the preview). Flip the Draft / Published switch in the top-right and click Save changes to put it live. Until it's published, visitors can't reach it and it won't appear in your menu. Switch it back to Draft any time to take it down without deleting it.

Where your pages appear

A published page joins your website's top navigation, alongside About, Times, and the rest. The order is up to you: drag pages on the Pages list to arrange them, and the menu follows. Once you have more than a handful of menu items, the extra pages tuck neatly into a "More" dropdown so your nav never gets crowded.

Editing, duplicating, and removing

From the Pages list you can Edit a page, Duplicate one to reuse its layout as a starting point, or Delete one (Psalmly asks first, since it's permanent). Drafts and published pages both live here, each with its status and web address.

How many pages you can add

Custom pages are part of your plan:

• Free — 1 page
• Community — 3 pages
• Growth — 10 pages

The Pages screen shows how many you've used. When you reach your limit, New page is disabled and Psalmly points you to upgrading for more — your existing pages keep working either way.
