Managing Your Pages
Your website can have multiple pages organized in a navigation structure. Here's how to manage them effectively.

Navigation Pages
These pages appear in your site's main navigation menu. Visitors can easily access them from any page on your site.
Sub Pages
Sub pages stay out of the main navigation, but you can link to them from anywhere on your site. They're useful for supporting content, like individual services or case studies.
