Page Builder Overview

Page Builder is a feature of Xperience that allows you to create and manage content directly on the UI of the page in the CMS.

Pages that have Page Builder enabled will have the Page Builder option available on the right sidebar. On your website, the following Content Types have the Page Builder tool enabled:

  • Home page
  • General Content
  • Article Detail
  • Event Detail
  • Dynamic Data Reports

Key Features of Page Builder:

  • Easy to use
  • Gives you more control of the content and layout than with structured content while maintaining design consistency
  • Empowers you to create new pages with different content and layouts quickly without having to rely on developer intervention 
  • Provides a better WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) experience than structured content fields
  • You can build pages or adjust the content and layout using configurable sections and widgets.
    • Add “sections” to a page to determine the group of widgets to use.
    • Add as many widgets as you want to a new page. (Rise has already created a pre-built library of widgets for you to use)
    • Drag and drop widgets to re-order how they’re displayed on the page
    • Copy and paste entire widgets to reuse content and save time

It is recommended to use Page Builder on high-traffic pages, landing pages, or WYSIWYG-heavy pages that require you to tailor both content and design.

To learn more about Page Builder from Xperience, visit the official Kentico documentation.

Page Builder Sections

When using Page Builder, you can localize the widgets by adding "sections," which are components that define the widget zones within editable areas. You should always add a "section" first before adding a widget.

Rise created a library of sections for you to use:

  • Default Section 
  • Form Section
  • Two Column Section

Return to TOP

Sections Overview

  • When creating a page using Page Builder, you first see a default editable section.
  • You can add multiple sections on a page. (Instructions below) 
  • After adding a section, you can then add the widget(s) to the section. To learn more about this, visit the Page Builder Widgets section.
