Best Practices for Creating a Site Section Page

This checklist is to help ensure that when you are drafting and building your page, you are creating the content appropriately. This list is an overview of the steps needed. The checklist has been broken into sections so that you are able to pick the sections that are relevant to you. We strongly encourage you to follow each step. 

Site Section Page / Microsite Page 

This feature is a way to denote major pillar areas of a site, also known as a micro site. This is to create a distinct or specialized group of pages that are related and need to stand out from the rest of your site.  This functionality should be used sparingly.  To create a site section, you will first create a page and then add a featured media image that is only available for Site Administrators and above.

  1. Create your page (Content > Add content > Page)
  2. Add title
    Note: The page name may be cut off if your page title is too long or your page is further down in the site structure.
  3. Add subtitle (optional)
    Note: This can be used to help shorten your page title. The text is smaller than title text.
  4. Site Section Page / Microsite Page
    Add banner image (optional)
    Note: This will create a site section (sub site). A blue overlay will automatically be added to the page.
  5. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Section
    • Add a Target Keyword
      Note: This is the search term or phrase people will Google to find this web page.  
    • Add a Meta Description
      Note: The short summary displayed underneath the URL in Google’s search results as well as the Web Platform search page.
    • Add Social Media Image (optional)
      Note: This is the image displayed when this page is shared to sites like Facebook, Twitter, etc.
    • Add an Original Source URL (optional)
      Note: If this content is being reposted, please enter the URL of the original source material so the search engines know which version is the “main” copy. 
    • Select Hide from Search Engine (optional)
      Note: Select this option to prevent search engine spiders, like Google, from crawling this page and adding it to their search results.
  6. Sections (Medschool Only)
    • Select the appropriate site access
      Note: Selecting any option other than “Default” will restrict editing access to the page.
  7. Search Listing Options Section
    • Select the appropriate Page Category (optional)
      Note: This is used as part of the page search results. To have additional terms added, please contact your Site Administrator.  
    • Add a Page Tag (optional)
      Note: Add topics to your page. This is used as part of the search results. To have additional terms added, please contact your Site Administrator.
  8. Related Content Section
    • Add a Person Reference (optional)
      Note: The person must first be added to the site to display in the results.
  9. Scheduling Options Section
    • Publish on (optional)
      Note: All fields must be completed for this to work. If a field has gray text, you will receive an error.
    • Unpublish on (optional)
