**NOTE:** Only two levels of pages (parent and child) will be shown on website.

==== Page ====
CMS page is simple text and images content that can be shown on website. Any page must have parent or category, its link and name. When page has selected parent page, that page becomes child of selected page. This can be done indefinitely, but only two levels will be displayed for menu layout.

To create a page select //Create a page// at the top of page, to edit existing one - select it on //Page Structure//.

Filling page data:
  * Select category or Parent page - this will define where page will be saved.
     * If category is selected - this page will be created on top level of category. This page will have no parent.
     * If parent page is selected (A), current page will be created as a child (child of A).
  * Enter page title - this will be shown when added to sub-header or footer columns.
  * Enter path - this is what will be shown in URL when navigating to this page. For better experience when selecting parent page its path will be suggested as a start to current page. This way paths stays clean and understandable (E.g. ///faq/payments// faq being parents path and payments being child). **NOTE:** path must be unique to whole website CMS.
  * Enter page content using provided styling or using html editor (<> button).
  * Save or update content.
  * (Optional) If SEO data is needed - check SEO checkmark at the top of page creation. This will give more inputs to fill SEO data.
