Static content pages on your website are intended for content that seldom changes. Pages like About Us, or Where We Are Located are examples of static content. Static content is created in conjunction with menu items. It is a page or pages linked to menu items that usually appear in the side bar on the left, right or top of your front page.

In the back end of your site, from the menu bar at the top choose: Content > Static Content Manager

• Type in a Title (leave the Title Alias blank)
• Type the content you want in the text box.*  Important:  You must put some content (even just one word)  into the text box in order for this content item to show on your front end.
• When finished click on the link to menu tab on the right hand side of the screen.
• select the menu of choice from the list
• type in the desired menu item name (whatever you want to show on the front page)
• Then click link to menu again.

 Or, if the menu item you want to link your content to, is not showing up in the Select a Menu box, you may link your item another way.
