Site Pages & Menus: Add, Nest and Import Pages

Every page on your site beyond Home is a tab: it has its own address, its own hero and its own sections. This article covers the three things hosts most often want to do with them — add a page, gather pages under a header menu such as Cabins, and bring pages over from an old WordPress (or any other) website without breaking the links that pointed at them. All three work the same way on a single-listing site and on a multi-unit site; where the two differ, the steps say so.

When to use this

• You want an About, Experiences or Getting here page.
• You want several pages listed under one heading in your header, the way an old site had a Cabins menu.
• You have an old website and want its pages here, with the old addresses still landing somewhere sensible.

Add a page

Where (property site): Property editor → Layout → + New tab Where (collection site): Multi-unit site editor → Layout → + New tab

1. Open the Layout tab. The page strip lists Home, your tabs, then + New tab.
2. Click + New tab and choose what to add:
   • Custom tab — a page you build yourself. Type the tab name, click Next, then either describe the page and click Generate content, or click Create manually.
   • SEO landing page — a page for one search phrase. It is linked from your footer, not from the header.
   • Reuse an existing page — copy a page from another of your sites; its sections stay in sync.
   • Import pages from a website — see Import a page from your old website.
   • Recently deleted — restore a page deleted in the last 30 days.
3. Click the new tab in the page strip to edit it: Basics (name and address), Hero, and Page Content.

So the short path for a page of your own is Layout → + New tab → Custom tab.

Nest pages under a menu

Where (property site): Property editor → Layout → hover a tab in the page strip → menu icon (list) → In the Tab name menu Where (collection site): Multi-unit site editor → Layout → hover a tab in the page strip → menu icon (list) → In the Tab name menu

1. Make the page that will hold the menu — a tab called Cabins, say — if you don't have it yet.
2. Hover each page that belongs under it in the page strip and click the menu icon (list) on its row.
3. Under Show in navigation, pick In the Cabins menu.

The parent tab gains a chevron. Guests hover it, or tap the chevron, to open the menu; clicking the parent's own name still opens the parent page. In the page strip, nested pages sit indented under their parent: drag them to reorder the menu, or drag the parent to move the whole group. Its own tab puts a page back in the header.

You can do the same in the preview: drag a tab in the preview's header onto another tab to add it to that tab's menu. See Arrange the header menu.

A few rules hold everywhere. Menus go one level deep, so a tab that already holds a menu cannot go inside another one. A hidden tab or an SEO landing page cannot hold a menu. Every nested page keeps its own web address. Hide or delete the parent and its pages return to the header as ordinary tabs.

A Cabins menu of your listings (multi-unit sites)

If the old site's cabin pages were really your rentals, they already have pages here: each listing on a multi-unit site has its own page with photos, rates and booking. Don't import those as tabs. Instead, list them in the header:

Where (collection site): Multi-unit site editor → Layout tab → Home → right panel → Brand → Header style → Stays menu in header

It is on by default. Type Cabins (or Villas, Rooms) in Menu label, and a Cabins pill after Home lists every listing on the site by name. A single-listing site has one rental, so it has no Stays menu; nest your own pages under a tab as above instead.

Import a page from your old website

Where (property site): Property editor → Layout → + New tab → Import pages from a website Where (collection site): Multi-unit site editor → Layout → + New tab → Import pages from a website

1. Paste an address into Website to pull pages from and click Import pages.
2. Keep working. New tabs appear in the page strip as they land, and a notification tells you when the import is done.

What you paste decides what comes over. There is no page checklist:

• The homepage (oldsite.com) — Haven follows the site's navigation and every page it can read (about, story, FAQ, local guide, blog, team) becomes a tab, with its sections and photos.
• One page (oldsite.com/cabins/bear-den) — only that page is imported, as its own tab. To bring three pages over, paste each one in turn.

An import of pages never builds or changes listings, and it leaves your brand alone.

An imported tab takes its name from the page's main heading, which is not always what you would call it — a cabin page can arrive as "Booking & Information". Rename it: click the tab → Basics → Tab Name.

When the old page lived under a menu (/cabins/bear-den) and you already have a top-level tab whose address is /cabins, the imported page lands in that tab's menu by itself. Otherwise it arrives as its own tab, and you nest it as described above.

To check what the import added, open Review on the import card in the editor. See Review What a Website Import Added.

Keep old links working

Links to your old site — from Google, from guests' bookmarks, from other websites — keep working once your own domain points at Haven.

• Pages at the same address need nothing. An old /about imported as a tab at /about answers at the same address.
• Pages that moved are redirected. A nested old page such as /cabins/bear-den becomes a tab at /bear-den, so its old address sends visitors there with a permanent (301) redirect.

Two lists show these addresses, and they are easy to confuse:

• Your old links, in the import's review, is a read-only record of what that one import did: the old addresses that kept their path, and the ones that will redirect once your domain points at Haven.
• Old addresses, under Sites → SEO → Redirects from your previous site, is the redirect plan itself. Haven builds it when you connect the domain your old site lives on, starting from the list of an import made in the last 90 days. Change any destination from the dropdown, turn a redirect off, or add an address the scan missed.

If your domain was already Active on Haven before you imported, the panel is simply Sites → SEO → Redirects: add each old address and pick the page it should send to.

Redirects exist only on your own domain and start serving once it shows Active. Until then, visitors still reach the old site. See Custom Domains and SEO & Discoverability.
