Pages are where your website visitors read and browse your content. Isomer Studio has two layout options:
Standard layout page
A standard layout page (previously referred to as default layout) is the main content page type in Isomer Studio. Use it for your site's primary information such as policies, programmes, services, and general content. Learn how to create a standard layout page.
Standard layout pages support the full range of blocks available in Isomer Studio, including text, image, callout, accordion, cards, and more.
Article layout page
An article layout page is designed for reading-focused content such as news articles, press releases, speeches, and blog posts. It supports a smaller set of blocks focused on text and images. Learn how to create an article layout page.

Which to do first - Create or organise?
When building your site, you might wonder whether it’s better to start by creating your pages or organising them into folders. The truth is, there’s no right or wrong approach. It all depends on what feels more comfortable or efficient for your team.
Here are two common approaches:
Create and edit pages first
Focus on creating your content, and organise it into folders later as needed.
Organise into folders first:
Set up your folder structure to organise your pages, then create and edit your pages within those folders.
Both approaches work, and it's entirely up to what makes the most sense for your workflow.
