    Creating a PA.gov Homepage

    While it is possible to create a PA.gov Homepage, authors should not do so. There is only one homepage for the site, with the URL “PA.gov.” Other pages should use different templates.

    Editing the PA.gov Homepage

    1. Find the page in the sitemap. Click through the site hierarchy to find the location. Click the checkbox to the left of the page title. (The example below shows a Content page to be edited; instructions are the same regardless of page type.)

    2. Upon click, a menu appears at the top of the screen.

    1. Select "Properties" to edit Page Properties.
    2. Select “Edit" to edit the page.

    3. The page opens in the editing mode, and components can be added accordingly.

    4. Page edits will save automatically. Past page versions can only be referenced if a version was created. Read the Saving Page Versions guide for more info.

    Page Properties

    Other Tips

    • The Homepage Hero's image, if enabled, is full bleed across the page – it extends to the edge of the screen, leaving no white space.
