Build your website: pages and blocks

Last updated 2026-10-27
Coaches · Website Add pages to your team site and edit them with blocks: heroes, schedules, records, FAQs and more.

How the site is put together

Every page is a stack of blocks. A block is one section, and + Add block opens Add a block with about thirty of them, in four groups:

  • Text & media: Rich Text, Hero Image, Background Image, Image/Banner, Image Gallery (masonry, grid, slideshow, or collage), File Downloads (up to 50 files), Table (Simple), Table (Enhanced), and Custom HTML, the escape hatch for embeds.
  • Team info: Records, Top Times, Live Programs, Meet Schedule, Team’s Calendar, Coach Bios, News, and Location (a map of your pools). Records, Top Times, Live Programs, Meet Schedule and Team’s Calendar pull straight from your Commit data and update themselves.
  • Layout & design: Buttons, Card Grid, CTA Band, Stat Band, Steps, Feature Rows, and Divider.
  • Engagement: FAQs, Testimonial, Contact Us, and Partners and Badges logo grids.

Hover a block to see its toolbar: Edit, Block style (the sliders icon), Move up, Move down, and ⋯. The ⋯ menu has Duplicate (on this page, or a copy to another page), Half width, and Delete. Block style sets Top spacing and Bottom spacing, the Section background, Alternate color theme, Half width, and Vertical alignment for a half-width block.

The Block style window: Top spacing and Bottom spacing from None to Large, Section background swatches, and the Alternate color theme and Half width switches

Step by step

Add a page

  1. Open Website → Pages. You’ll see each page’s name, URL, status, and where it sits in the navigation.

    The Pages tab under Website, with Edit site, New page and Preview at the top

  2. Click New page at the top. Type a Page name; the URL fills in from the name (edit it if you like, it always starts with /). Choose Published or Draft and click Create page. The new page opens in the editor. A draft stays out of your menu and out of search engines while you work on it.

  3. Each page’s menu also has Edit SEO settings: the title and description search engines show for that page.

Edit a page

  1. Click Edit site to open the Home page. For another page, open its ⋯ menu on the Pages tab and choose Edit page content.

  2. Hover a block and click Edit. Its settings open in a card under the block; click Preview to close it. For Coach Bios, FAQs, Badges, Partners and News, the card’s ⋯ menu also has Edit content, which opens a side panel. Click Done there when you’re finished.

  3. To add a section, hover a block and click + Add block on its bottom edge. In Add a block, type in Search blocks (Enter adds the top match) or pick from the groups: text, images, tables, schedules, records, programs, FAQs, contact forms and more. A new, empty page shows Start this page with an Add block button.

    The Add a block picker: Search blocks at the top, then the Text & media and Team info groups with a card for each block

  4. Reorder blocks with Move up and Move down in each block’s toolbar.

  5. The Desktop, Tablet and Phone buttons at the top show the page at each size. They’re off while a block’s card is open, so close it first. Always check phone; that’s how most families browse.

  6. Save keeps your block edits, and saved content is live on the site right away. Save and Reset show up once you change something. Publish shows on a Draft page with nothing unsaved: it flips the page to Published so it joins the menu. Leave with unsaved changes and Commit asks whether to Discard them or Save changes.

  7. Full screen (⌘⇧↵ on a Mac, Ctrl+Shift+Enter on Windows) hides everything but the page. Click Exit or press Esc to go back. The ⋯ at the top right has Preview page, Rename page, SEO settings, Change navigation, and Remove page.

  8. Hover the site’s header or footer for its own toolbar. Edit opens that part of the Theme tab, and ⋯ goes to Navigation menus or Logo & brand.

Post news

  1. Add a News block to a page, hover it and click Edit, then click Manage articles.

  2. Add article opens New article: title, an auto-generated /news/ URL, Status, a Publish date, an optional main image, a short summary for the list, and the full article. New articles start as Draft, so the button reads Save draft. A draft shows “Not shown on your website” in the list until you set Status to Published.

  3. Order, in the Display section under the list, sets how the block lists articles. Newest first sorts by Publish date; click Pin to top on an article to keep it first. Manual lets you drag articles into order or click Move to top.

  4. In a long list, use Search titles or the status filter (All statuses) to find an article.

    The News block's Edit content panel: Articles with Add article, Search titles and All statuses, the article list, and Display with Order set to Newest first or Manual

  5. The block shows your articles as a grid or list, with a “See all” past your chosen count, opening in a popup or as their own page.

Show open programs

  1. Add a Live Programs block and edit it. Show lists Registration groups or whole Programs, and Hide from view hides any you don’t want shown.

  2. Layout is Grid or List. With Grid, Cards per row is Auto or 2, 3 or 4.

  3. Order is Automatic (open registration first) or Custom. Custom adds a Custom order list you drag into order; anything that opens later appears after them.

  4. When Show is Registration groups, Group by program puts each program’s groups together under the program’s name.

    Live Programs settings: Show with Registration groups or Programs, Hide from view, Layout, Cards per row, Order and Group by program

Manage files

  1. Website → Files holds PDFs and documents: Attach file (up to 25 MB each), name it, then Copy link to use it anywhere on the site. The Used on column shows which pages reference each file, and archiving tucks old ones away.

Common questions

Can I hide a page without deleting it? Yes, switch it to Draft. It drops out of the menu and search engines. Anyone who already has the exact link can still open it, so don’t park secrets there.

Which blocks update on their own? The ones fed by Commit data: records, top times, live programs, meet schedule, and the team calendar. Set them up once and they stay current.

Who can edit the site? Staff with the Website permission. See staff and permissions.
