This guide explains how to manage school website pages from FrontCMS → Pages inside Smart School.

Short summary

The Pages workspace is the editorial surface for a school’s public site. It lets staff search existing pages, review homepage and sidebar state, open a page drawer for content editing, and control publication status without touching the separate SaaS landing page.

Best for

School web administrators and operations teams maintaining public website pages inside Smart School.

Requires

Access to FrontCMS pages and a clear understanding of the page content that should be public.

Result

School website pages can be reviewed, created, updated, published, or set as homepage from the FrontCMS page manager.

Before you start

Confirm the page belongs to the school’s FrontCMS site, not the product landing page.
Prepare the page title, slug, content, and any feature image you plan to use.
Decide whether the page should be published immediately and whether it should appear in the sidebar.

Front Cms -> Pages

Step 1: Open the Pages workspace

Go to Front Cms in the sidebar and open Pages.

FrontCMS Pages workspace with search, status filter, page table, and add page action. — The Pages workspace shows public page rows, homepage markers, sidebar state, and page actions.

From this list you can:

search for a page by title or slug
filter by Status
review whether a page is the homepage
check whether the page shows in the sidebar
use row actions such as View, Edit, Delete, and Set As Homepage

Step 2: Start a new page

Click Add Page to open the page drawer.

FrontCMS New Page drawer with fields for title, slug, description, image, SEO, and publishing options. — The page drawer combines content editing, feature image setup, SEO fields, and publishing controls.

Step 3: Complete the page content

Use the drawer sections to fill the page:

Title
Slug
Page Type
Content Type
Description

The title can generate a slug automatically for new pages. Use the editor controls for formatting, links, and media insertion where needed.

Step 4: Add media and SEO details

Complete the supporting sections:

Image URL or media-picker selection for the feature image
Meta Title
Meta Description
Meta Keywords

These values help shape how the page appears on the public site and in search results.

Step 5: Control publishing

In the publishing section, decide:

the Publish date
whether the page is Active
whether Published should stay enabled
whether Show Sidebar should be enabled

Then click Create Page or the save action for an existing page.

After the page is saved, return to the table and use the row actions to:

preview the page through View
reopen the drawer with Edit
set the page as homepage
toggle publication status from the status badge

Step 6: Verify the public result

After publishing:

Use View from the row action.
Confirm the page loads on the school FrontCMS site.
Check the title, slug, content, and sidebar behavior.
If the page should lead visitors into online admission, confirm the content still points to the correct FrontCMS route.

Important notes

Important: FrontCMS manages each school's own public site inside Smart School. It is not the same thing as the separate Migdafa SaaS landing page and documentation site.

Audit note: the local FrontCMS Pages screen is usable, but some visible labels still render placeholder or fallback text such as generic description and search-copy strings in the current environment.

Verification checklist

The page title and slug match the intended public URL.
Publishing status is correct before you leave the drawer.
Homepage and sidebar state match the intended public layout.
The public page loads through the FrontCMS site after saving.

Expected result: the school page is available in the Pages manager and can be published, edited, or promoted to the homepage as needed.

Troubleshooting

Issue	Likely cause	What to do
Slug looks wrong	Title was changed after the initial auto-generated slug	Edit the slug manually before saving
Page is saved but not public	Published is disabled or the page remains inactive	Reopen the page and check publish and status settings
Homepage indicator is wrong	Another page is still marked as homepage	Use Set As Homepage on the intended page and recheck the table
Some labels look generic	The local UI still has placeholder translation copy in a few FrontCMS labels	Validate the actual field meaning and saved data, not only the label wording
