In this case, let’s customize our photographer’s page by showing off their different services. Let’s design it by displaying two services per section, and creating duplicates of the section as we add more services. Start by creating two Photo columns in the existing Custom Section. For each column, add a Separator element (in this case, a Space) under the Photo Element, a Text element (in this case, a Title) under the Separator element, and another Separator element under the Text element. For efficiency, you can duplicate elements in one column and drag them into the other. Once this is done, duplicate the Custom Section.


  9. You can now edit the columns by adding the respective names and images for each of your services.

  10. Prospective customers or clients will want more information on your services, and so the next step is to add links which will redirect visitors to a dedicated page for each service. Click on the element, then Link, and choose the appropriate link type.

Click on ADD SECTION, create one or more columns, and, once you click on a column, choose Button. You can duplicate and drag new buttons from this one for however many additional links you intend to include in your Services Page. Align, rename, and add the appropriate links to each button.




  12. Once you’re done designing your Services Page, publish it by referring to the menu and clicking on Page Settings – depicted by the gear icon to the right of the page name. Turn the toggle on to Publish This Page and to Show On Menu. Make sure to click on Header under Select Menu to make sure this page shows up on your menu. Click on Save Changes.

In the Paragraph element, type in the team member’s name and position in your group or company. Customize the text to your liking by making use of the toolbar above it.



  12. In designing your team profiles, you can add a Separator between the Photo and Paragraph elements. Adjust the size of the Separator to your liking, then duplicate it to your other columns.



  13. Once you have finished designing your first row of team members, duplicate the Custom Section. All you have to do now is change the photos and titles in each column of the duplicated section. Repeat this step as many times as you need for your particular Team Page.



  14. If you wish, you can add links to each profile to redirect visitors to dedicated pages for each of your team members. Click on the element, then Link, and choose the appropriate link type.

  9. We can now begin adding the names and photos of clients or customers to the page. You have multiple options in designing these sections. In this first example, start by creating a Three Column section (or however many testimonials you want to display per row) below the Line Separator.


  10. Add a Photo element to each column and upload the photos you wish to represent each client or customer.

  11. Add a Title element below the Photo element, a Line Separator below that, and a Paragraph element below that. For efficiency, you can duplicate elements in one column and drag them into the other. In the Title element, type in the client’s or customer’s name and occupation (and/or their location, if you wish). In the Paragraph element, type in the client’s or customer’s testimonial, and bookend the testimonial with quotes. Customize the text to your liking by making use of the toolbar above it.


  12. If applicable to your particular Testimonial Page, you can link each testimonial to dedicated pages detailing how respective clients or customers benefited from your service/s. Do this by adding another Paragraph element below the quoted testimonial. Click on the element and select Insert/Edit Link on the toolbar. Type in or copy-paste the URL of the page you want this text to link to, and type in Read Their Story – or something similar – in Text to Display. Title the link if you wish, and choose whether you want the linked page to load on the same page or in a new tab. Change the font color to distinguish the link from the text above it. Once you’re done, duplicate this element to your other columns and edit the URLs accordingly.




  13. Once you have finished designing your first row of testimonials, duplicate the Custom Section. All you have to do now is change the photos, titles, and links in each column of the duplicated section. Repeat this step as many times as you need for your particular Testimonial Page.



  14. Another way to design your Testimonial Page is by having one testimonial per row, with the client’s or customer’s photo beside their title and testimonial, instead of having the photo above the description. Choose this type of layout for your Testimonial Page if you want to highlight individual clients or customers, as this layout allows you to add larger photos and text for each testimonial. To do this, click on the ADD SECTION button and choose a One-Third column. The left column will contain the client’s or customer’s photo, and the right will contain their title and testimonial – which you can format similarly to the first layout option. The primary difference with this layout, as mentioned, is that you can include a larger photo, as well as larger text. Once you’re done, duplicate this section as many times as you have testimonials and edit each element accordingly. Add Separator elements between each section.




  15. Retitle your Page Name, URL, and Title in the menu to the left of the page.

  16. Once you’re done designing your Testimonial Page, publish it by toggling Publish This Page, Show On Menu, and clicking on Header under Select Menu. Click on Save Changes.
