Resi V2: How to Create a New Page in the Website Builder

Before You Start

Before you build: Have your content blocks created in Resi and your page content planned before opening the Builder. It's much faster to build a page when you know what sections you need.

Step-by-Step: Create and Build the Page

1. In WordPress, go to Pages → Add New.
   
   
2. Give the page a title (this is the internal WordPress title — it can be refined later).
   
   
3. Click Save Draft — the page is now in Draft mode and is not live on the website.
   
   
4. Click Edit in Builder (or the YOOtheme launch button) to open the Builder.
   
   
5. You'll have a blank canvas. There are three ways to start:
   
   Option A — Start from a Pro Library layout (fastest for new sections)
   
   • Click Library in the Builder toolbar.
   • Browse Pro Layouts for a pre-built design you can adapt.
   • Click your chosen layout → Insert at Bottom (not "Replace" — that overwrites the whole page).
     
     
6. Option B — Import a saved layout from another property
   
   • Click Library → My Layouts.
   • Select a layout you've previously saved → Insert.
     
     
7. Option C — Build from scratch
   
   • Click + Add Section and build section by section.
   • Best used when you know exactly what you need and have a design in mind.
8. Replace placeholder content by connecting Resi Content Blocks to each element (see How to Connect a Content Block to the Website Builder →).
   
   
9. Check responsiveness using the Desktop / Tablet / Mobile preview icons at the bottom of the Builder.
   
   
10. Click Save in the Builder.
    
    

Step-by-Step: Add SEO Metadata and Publish

⚠️ Every new page must have a meta title and meta description before being published. This is a hard requirement for SEO performance.

1. In WordPress, go back to Pages and find your new page.
2. Click Quick Edit.
3. Fill in:
   • Meta Title — 50–60 characters. Include the property name and primary keyword 
   • Meta Description — 140–160 characters. A concise, compelling description of the page.
4. 💡 Use the built-in SEO plugin indicator — it'll flag if your title or description is too short or too long.
   
   
5. Change the Status from Draft to Scheduled.
   
   📝 Note: Despite the label, selecting "Scheduled" and clicking Update publishes the page immediately. This is the correct method to make a page live.
6. Click Update.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Publishing without meta title and description — this hurts your property's search engine visibility. Always fill these in before going live.
• Selecting "Replace" when inserting a layout — this overwrites your entire current page layout. Always use "Insert at Bottom" and then drag sections into position.
• Building without Resi content blocks connected — placeholder text won't auto-populate from Resi. Connect your content blocks before publishing.
• Forgetting to check mobile responsiveness — pro library layouts are responsive by default, but custom additions may need adjustment.
