Every website is a collection of pages. Hiveku gives you three ways to add and manage them — pick the one that matches your comfort level.

Pages vs CMS Collections

Before adding more pages, it’s worth knowing what kind of content belongs on a page versus in a CMS collection — they’re handled differently. Pages live in the page tree (this guide). CMS collections live in hiveku.cms.json — see CMS Collections.
For repeating content like blog posts, products, or team members, use a CMS collection rather than creating a page per item. The CMS gives you a Webflow-style editor, version history, and search out of the box, and means a content team can manage entries without touching code. See CMS Overview and Collections.

​
Option 1: Ask the AI (Easiest)

1

Open the AI chat

Click the AI tab in the left panel of the Editor.
2

Describe the page you want

Just say what you need:
3

Review and deploy

The AI creates the page, updates your nav if needed, and shows a preview. When you’re happy, click Deploy.

​
Option 2: Content Editor (Visual)

1

Go to Content > Pages

Inside your project, click Content in the sidebar, then open the Pages tab.
2

Click New Page

You’ll see a form for page details.
3

Fill in the page details

  • Title — shown in the browser tab and used as the default heading
  • Slug — the URL path. welcome produces /welcome
  • Meta description — used by Google and social previews
  • Status — Draft or Published
4

Save

Click Save. The page is added to your site and listed in the Pages tab.

​
Option 3: Code Editor (Developers)

1

Open the Code Editor

Click Code Editor in your project.
2

Navigate to the pages folder

Depending on your framework:
  • app/ — Next.js App Router (each folder with a page.tsx is a route)
  • pages/ — Next.js Pages Router
  • src/pages/ — Astro, Vite, Gatsby
3

Create the new page file

Right-click the folder and choose New File. Name it based on the URL you want — app/about/page.tsx maps to /about.
4

Save and preview

Save the file. Your live preview refreshes automatically.

​
Understanding Slugs

The slug is the URL path for a page. Keep slugs short, lowercase, and hyphen-separated — our-story is better than OurStory.

​
Setting the Homepage

1

Open Pages

Go to Content > Pages.
2

Find the page you want as the homepage

Click its row to open details.
3

Mark as homepage

Toggle Set as homepage. This page now serves at /.
Only one page can be the homepage at a time. Setting a new one automatically demotes the previous homepage to a regular route.

​
Meta Title & Description

For SEO, every page should have:
  • Meta title — 50-60 characters, keyword-rich
  • Meta description — 150-160 characters, compelling summary
You can set these from the page details in the Content Editor, or ask the AI: “Write SEO titles and descriptions for all my pages.”

​
Draft vs Published

  • Draft — saved but not visible on the live site
  • Published — visible to visitors after you deploy
Drafts are great for work-in-progress pages you don’t want visitors to see yet.

​
Renaming a Page

Open the page in Content > Pages, change the Slug field, and save. Hiveku updates internal nav links automatically.

​
Deleting a Page

1

Open the page

Go to Content > Pages and click the page you want to delete.
2

Click Delete

Scroll to the bottom and click Delete. You’ll be asked to confirm.
3

Confirm

The page is removed.
Deletion is permanent. If you might want it back, set it to Draft instead.

​
Verifying Changes

After creating, renaming, or deleting a page:
  1. Check the live preview in the Editor — it reloads instantly
  2. Click Deploy to push the change to your live site
  3. Visit https://{project}.hiveku.com/{slug} to confirm it’s live

​
Troubleshooting

You probably haven’t deployed yet. Click Deploy in the top bar. Pages appear in the preview immediately but need a deploy to go live.
Double-check the Slug field in the Content Editor, or the file/folder name in the Code Editor. Slugs with uppercase or spaces can cause unexpected URLs — stick to lowercase and hyphens.
Make sure you toggled Set as homepage for the new page. Only one page can be homepage at a time — check that no other page still has the toggle on.
Renaming a page doesn’t always rewrite hand-coded nav links. Ask the AI: “Update all links to point to the new page name.”
