Click Create New Page and choose to start from scratch or use a template.
Use the block selection drawer to add blocks to your page.

The Page Builder offers a variety of blocks to choose from, each designed for specific content types:
Content Grid Blocks: Display content in a grid or list format, allowing you to showcase recipes, meal plans, and resources.
Marketing Blocks: Create engaging landing pages with blocks like hero sections, testimonials, and pricing tables.
Media Blocks: Display images and videos in a visually appealing format, enhancing the user experience.

Content Grid Blocks
Content grid blocks are essential for displaying your content effectively. They can pull in and display various types of content, such as recipes and meal plans, in a visually appealing grid or list format.
Configuration Options: You can customize how many items to display, the layout style (grid or list), and the card template used for each item.
Dynamic Filtering: Content grid blocks can filter content based on categories or tags, making it easy for members to find what they’re looking for.
Card Templates
Card templates control the appearance of content cards within your grids. Each card can display essential information such as titles, images, and metadata (like cooking time or difficulty).
Customization: You can create different card templates for various content types, ensuring that each card displays the most relevant information in a visually appealing way.
Detail Page Templates
Detail page templates determine how individual content items are displayed. For example, a recipe detail page might show the recipe title, ingredients, cooking steps, and nutrition information.
Flexible Design: You can customize detail page templates to include or exclude specific blocks, allowing for a tailored experience for your members.

Marketing blocks help you build landing pages that convert visitors into subscribers. These blocks include features like hero sections, pricing tables, and testimonials.
