Ashford allows you to build your web site by adding pages and child pages.
- You add parent pages to build the main navigation bar. We recommend that you do not add more than seven parent pages to your site.
- You add child pages to build the drop down menus.
Add a parent page
To create a new parent page and build the navigation,
- Select the Dashboard → Write → Page

This will add a page to the navigation bar immediately.
Add a child page
Pages can be positioned in a hierarchy or outline. For example, this page is a child of the parent page titled Support. To create a new child page and build the drop down menus for the navigation,
