Every page in your store uses a **template**, which decides its layout and sections. InspiredTheme includes ready-made templates for common pages such as **About us**, **Contact** and **FAQ**, and you can create as many of your own as you need.

### 1. How to add a new page to your online store

{% hint style="info" %}
**Steps:**

* From your Shopify admin, go to **Online Store** > **Pages**.
* Click **Add page**.
* Enter a **Title** and **Content** for the page.
* Under **Visibility**, choose when the page is published. Select **Hidden** to keep it off your store for now.
* Under **Theme template**, choose the template the page should use.
* Click **Save**.
  {% endhint %}

Choose a clear, descriptive title. It's shown in the browser tab and in search engine results.

### 2. Customize a page template

To change a page's layout, you edit the template assigned to it. **Changes to a template apply to every page that uses it.** For example, editing the **Default page** template changes all pages that use the default.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Steps:**

* In the theme editor, use the page selector at the top to open **Pages**, then choose the template.
* Add, edit and reorder sections in the left sidebar.
* Click **Save**.
  {% endhint %}

See [Sections available in InspiredTheme](/articles/sections/theme-sections.md) for everything you can add.

### 3. Create a new page template

To give one page a different layout from the others, create a new template for it.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Steps:**

* In the theme editor, use the page selector to open **Pages** > **Create template**.
* Enter a **Name** for the template, for example "About us".
* In **Based on**, choose an existing template to copy. The new template starts with its sections and settings.
* Click **Create template**, then customize it.
* Click **Save**.
  {% endhint %}

<div><figure><img src="https://1670075522-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F6M5ltDUBhmgWKXclaWBK%2Fuploads%2FGiBlT1V4hHe8LA2D5HWs%2FScreenshot%202023-12-18%20at%202.49.13%20PM.png?alt=media&#x26;token=335b3a90-848e-4d6b-9b9a-a84f155c3c11" alt="Create template in the page selector"><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="https://1670075522-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F6M5ltDUBhmgWKXclaWBK%2Fuploads%2F7vhuHjV5rGCZeKEiGkmd%2FScreenshot%202023-12-18%20at%202.49.50%20PM.png?alt=media&#x26;token=d7bb0e68-1e8c-4b1e-ab30-24d4ccd48d84" alt="Name and Based on fields"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

### 4. Assign a template to a page

After creating a template, assign it to the page in your Shopify admin.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Steps:**

* From your Shopify admin, go to **Online Store** > **Pages**.
* Click the page's title.
* Under **Theme template**, select the new template.
* Click **Save**.
  {% endhint %}

<figure><img src="https://t9008110498.p.clickup-attachments.com/t9008110498/4608fb49-5cb3-4ade-8975-6d5e78ecee60/Screenshot%202023-12-18%20at%203.02.53%20PM.png" alt="Theme template dropdown on a page"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="warning" %}
The **Theme template** list only shows templates from your **published** theme. If you created the template in an unpublished copy of your theme, publish that theme first, or create the same template in your live theme.
{% endhint %}

### 5. Tips

* Base new templates on the one closest to what you need, so you start with the right sections.
* Give templates clear names, such as "Landing page" or "Size guide", so they're easy to find in the **Theme template** list.
* To add a collection or product template instead, see [Creating collection templates](/articles/collection-pages/creating-collection-templates.md) and [Creating product templates](/articles/product-pages/creating-product-templates.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.inspiredtheme.com/articles/pages/page-templates.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
