Build website pages and add reservations

Last updated 2026-08-072 min read

Create and arrange page sections, understand local save versus live apply, and place the official Reservation block.

On this page

Site Builder keeps page editing, live publishing, and reservation operations as separate responsibilities.

Build and arrange a page

  1. Open Admin > Site Builder > Website > Pages and create or select a page.
  2. Add a Hero banner, Text block, Button (CTA), Image, Business hours, Social links, or Reservation block.
  3. Expand a section to edit it. Use the visibility control to hide a section without removing it, and move sections into the intended order.
  4. Use meaningful image alt text, test every link, and preview the page at desktop and mobile widths.

Know what each save action proves

  • Save content stores the current sections in Ellich. If a live website is connected, the editor says to apply live updates when the edits are ready. It does not update the public website by itself.
  • Save and apply live updates first saves the page and then starts the complete live update workflow.
  • A preview shows the current Ellich content in a preview context. It is not proof that the public URL changed.

After an apply, read the complete live update result. A small Saved and applied to the live website message is not sufficient evidence when any individual step says Failed, Needs review, or reports a warning. Open the public URL in a new session and verify the page, navigation, links, images, forms, and latest text.

Add the reservation entry point

Add a Reservation block, then set its heading, description, button label, booking path, theme, and visibility. Its default booking path is /reserve, but use the path configured for your reservation experience.

The block is a customer-facing entry point. Availability, resources, policies, deposits, reservation status, and guest history remain in Admin > Reservations. Adding or hiding the block does not create, reconfigure, cancel, or remove reservations.

Recover when the public page is still old

  1. Confirm the page was saved in Ellich.
  2. Run Apply live updates once.
  3. Find the exact failed or warning step instead of repeatedly applying every setting.
  4. Correct the page input, connection, required live-site module, or other owner of that step.
  5. Apply once more, confirm the relevant step succeeded, and verify the public URL after the live cache step completes.
