💡 Tips And Best Practices

These habits come from the questions people ask most. Each one saves you time later, and most take seconds.

Build pages that work first time:

• Keep a single-file page self-contained: CSS and JavaScript inside the file, images on full https:// addresses. If your page comes with its own folders, upload it as a ZIP.
• Add a title tag and meta description to every file. Search engines and social sites use them.
• Add meta charset="utf-8" to the head so accents and symbols show correctly.
• Add the viewport meta tag so the page lays itself out on phones.
• Open the file in your browser before you upload it. What you see there is what visitors will see.

Check on a phone:

Open every new page on your phone after publishing, and tap every button. Most of your visitors from email and social media arrive on a phone.

Name things well:

• Pick short, clear titles. The title becomes the page address, so Free Guide gives you /h/free-guide/.
• Shorten long addresses with the Edit button next to the Permalink before you share them.
• Keep a master copy of every page on your computer, with clear file names such as coaching-plan.html. The plugin serves your file as it is, so your copy is what you edit.
• Keep each ZIP export in its own folder, so you can change one file and zip it again.

Publish safely:

• Click Save Draft first, preview with Preview Page →, then publish.
• Use Copy Link rather than typing addresses by hand.
• Choose your URL prefix once, early, before you share links.
• Schedule seasonal pages ahead of time with the Publish box. See Drafts, Private And Scheduled Pages.

Track properly:

• Put site-wide analytics and pixels in Settings, Code Injection.
• Put one-page scripts, such as a conversion pixel on a thank-you page, in that page's Page Code Injection.
• On the ResultsAiX Theme, your theme tracking codes are added to these pages for you, so there is no need to paste them again.
• After adding code, check View Page Source on the live page to see it in place.

Work faster:

• Use Duplicate to make variations of a page, then change only what differs.
• A duplicate keeps the original's own head and body code, so check it still suits the copy.
• The Dashboard cards jump straight to published pages, drafts or your prefix setting.
• Bookmark HTML Pages, All HTML Pages if you add pages often.

Make pages load fast:

• Resize photos before you upload them. A hero image 1600 pixels wide is plenty for most screens.
• Use modern image formats such as webp where your page tool offers them. Both single files and ZIPs can use them.
• Keep CSS inside a single file rather than loading several stylesheets from other sites.
• On a ZIP page, images, styles and scripts are cached by the browser for an hour, so the second page of a funnel opens quickly.

Organise many pages:

• Use the search box in All HTML Pages to find a page by title.
• Filter by month with the All dates menu, or by status with the links above the table.
• Give funnel steps titles that sort together, such as Spring Challenge, Spring Challenge Thank You and Spring Challenge Offer.
• Trash pages you no longer use, so the list stays short. Empty the Trash once you are sure.

Plan a funnel before you build it:

1. Write down each step and its title.
2. Decide the addresses, so every button can point at the next one.
3. Decide which page counts as the conversion, and put the conversion snippet only there.
4. Build, upload as drafts, click through, then publish all steps together.

Keep things healthy:

• Run the Diagnostics tab after moving hosts or changing server settings.
• Keep the plugin updated from the Plugins screen, or switch on auto-updates.
• Leave the plugin's own files as they are. Updates replace them, and the plugin checks its core files, so always update with a fresh copy from your members area.
• Before deleting the plugin, read Deleting Pages, Deactivating And Uninstalling.

A real example:

Fernwood Fitness keeps a folder on Jamie's computer called HTML Pages, with one file per page: 30-day-kickstart.html, kickstart-thank-you.html, coaching-plan.html, stretch-guide.html and the spring-challenge export folder. A headline change is one edit, one upload on the right page, one Update, and the address never changes.
