Manage Landing Pages in the Back-Office

Hint

This section is a part of the Content Management Concept Guide topic that provides the general understanding of the tools that help manage the content of your website, such as web catalog, landing page, content blocks, widgets, and WYSIWYG editor.

Landing Page is a marketing tool that generates interest and leads for your sales pipeline and has a distinct call to action with a single focused objective.

Create a Landing Page

To create a new landing page:

1. Navigate to Marketing > Landing Pages in the main menu.

2. Click Create Landing Page.

   

3. Fill in the landing page title (Titles) and translate it into the languages supported in your Oro configuration.

   To manage title translations, click next to the Titles box and follow the guidance here.

4. Click on the Slug Prototypes box. The default slug prototype will be autogenerated. Edit the value to customize the default.

   To ensure that slug prototype translation is localization-friendly, manage slug prototype translations: click next to the Slug Prototypes box and follow the guidance here.

5. Enter the landing page content in the WYSIWYG text editor.

   Hint

   The advanced WYSIWYG editor is available since OroCommerce v4.1.0. To check which application version you are running, see the system information.

   Drag the selected element (a text, an image, a column, or a source code) from the Blocks menu and drop it to the required location. Rearrange the content or modify the style of the elements by navigating from tab to tab in the WYSIWYG editor’s manager bar. For more details on WYSIWYG management, see the WYSIWYG Editor topic.

   Note

   You can insert the Contact Us widget into the required page. For this, enter {{widget('contact_us_form')}} in the text editor and click Save in the top right corner. Once the landing page is added as a content variant to the content node of a web catalog, the form should then become visible in the storefront.

   

6. In the SEO section, manage the meta description and meta keywords that will be incapsulated in the landing page.

   Meta information helps search engines index and display the landing page in the search results when it becomes relevant.

   Meta description would summarize the page contents in one or several sentences (~160 characters).

   Meta keywords are comma separated words and phrases that describes the content in the most precise and relevant way that help find the page via the search engines (e.g., Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.)

7. Once you have completed editing the new landing page details, click Save on the top right of the page.

The new landing page is created and is available by the following URL:

<OroCommerce application URL>/<slug prototype>/

For example, http://acme.orocommerce.com/online-webinar-jan2017/

Note

You can also create a landing page from the web catalog configuration page following the guidance described in the Add a Landing Page topic.

Next steps

Use the landing page URL in your marketing activities (email campaigns, advertisement, etc).

Manage Landing Page Drafts

The landing page functionality enables you to create drafts, save them, and publish selected drafts when you are ready.

Note

The ability to manage drafts depends on the permissions and access levels defined for a user of the selected role.

To create a draft of the required landing page:

1. Navigate to Marketing > Landing Pages and click on the selected landing page.

2. Click Create draft on the top right.

3. An action confirmation popup displays the fields that are to be copied from the selected landing page to its draft (e.g., content, titles, metaTitles, metaDescriptions, metaKeywords). Click Yes to proceed and edit the draft.

4. Edit the information as required and select one of the further actions:

• Save and Close – saves the current draft. You can find it under the Drafts section of the selected landing page.

• Save as new draft – saves the draft as a new one without affecting the current draft. For example, you are editing Draft 2, and instead of applying the changes to Draft 2, you want to save your draft as a new one and called it Draft 3. When saved, Draft 2 remains unchanged, and Draft 3 is added to the list of the landing page drafts.

• Cancel – cancels the draft creation.

• Delete – deletes the draft.

5. To view the saved drafts, navigate to the Drafts section of the required landing page. Click the desired draft to get to its details page. Alternatively, hover over the More Actions menu to edit, delete, duplicate, or publish the draft.

   

6. To publish the draft, click Publish draft on the top right of the draft’s details page. Once the action is confirmed, the draft is published, substituting the original landing page. All the drafts previously created for this landing page remain unchanged under the Drafts section.
