Landing Pages

Landing pages aggregate (or bring together) content types that group together into listings. Note that landing page titles will be listed in your website's search results, however the panel content in placed panel panes will not.

When you add a news content type, it will automatically be added to the news landing page. When you create a new Person content type, it will automatically be added to the people landing page... and so on with each type of content.

How to edit a landing page

Click the Customize this page at the bottom of your browser window.

    What is the difference between a basic page and a landing page?

    Basic Pages and Landing Pages are virtually similar and for this reason we suggest using Basic Pages for any scenario where you are looking to have a page with static content or dynamic content pulling from other places.
