How to Create a Supportive Page for external Partial Page Views

What are external Partial Page Views and why are they important?

External Partial Page Views are any webpage not a part of our official www.pgcps.org website domain. If it does not exist in the Optimizely editor then it is considered external content.

Search is the top resource our audience uses to find web content. Maintaining a healthy web system with created pages (and documents) that’s simple to read and understand from our audiences point-of-view is our #1 priority. The name you give these pages when creating is the text displayed when found through search engines. Having a thorough understanding of page defaults & search optimization is essential.

As you create content and set the display of your items, sometimes you’ll want to present your pages as “cards” also known as Partial Page Views. Supportive Pages is an area where you can group together all of your important pages that use the Shortcut Property to redirect users to an external website.
