Blog and news pages in your webshop

Abicart provides a flexible way to create dynamic content like a blog or news section for your online store by utilizing its Custom Pages feature.

Why Content is Key

Creating and regularly updating a blog or news page with high-quality, relevant content is crucial for a successful webshop. [cite_start]It can enhance your search engine optimization (SEO) by providing fresh keywords and valuable information that answers customer questions, thereby increasing your store's visibility in search results.

Building Your Blog/News Pages

The standard pages offered by Abicart include essential elements like "Terms & Info" and a "Contact form", but for custom content like a blog or news page, you create an Own Page.

• Navigate to the My Pages section in your admin area to create a new page.
• Use the Optional text/image block within the page editor to add rich content, including text, images, and embedded videos (such as from YouTube).
• For advanced formatting, the editor supports HTML, allowing for semantically correct tags (like <h2>, <p>, <ul>) which is highly recommended for strong SEO.

Customizing Your Presentation

To ensure your content displays correctly and is mobile-friendly, be mindful of image and table sizing. If you embed content or use tables, always ensure their width is set using relative percentages, such as width: 100%, rather than fixed pixel values, to maintain a responsive design across all devices.

Making the Page Accessible

Once your news or blog page is created, it does not automatically appear in your shop’s navigation. You must manually create a link to it in your theme's menu settings to make it visible to customers.
