Additional Site/General Pages

The current set up of limited editable pages and the external blog for additional content is less than ideal. Would it not be possible to allow retailers to create their own pages? This is a standard feature on every other platform. Hosting site pages on an external blog isn't very good for SEO or UX. I don't really want to send someone effectively off-site to see how our finance or price match works.

Totally agree with this. I would like to see the work prioritised. We are currently sending customers off-site, and further from the products we are showcasing, when they are looking for store information. There is no clear navigation back from this to the retail website.

As the blog is onsite/on domain, the SEO implications are limited. We however agree. The ecommerce team are working on a new checkout for our platform, and then will move onto content management which will include this kind of functionality as well as improved homepage tools, and features such as the option to embed coupons into applicable products and find and filter pages. We recognise that in this areas our platform needs to improve and we will be spending RnD in this area next year.

Neil McQuillan - CEO Citrus-Lime Is this still on the plan, now for 2025? Additional to custom pages on the ecommerce site, We have a lot of challenges with the blog holding us back from achieving some of our content strategy objectives. I see on other posts, others have mentioned a self-hosted WordPress, as much of our challenges are presented by the lack of permissions on the current Citrus-hosted wordpress set up.
I appreciate that some development projects are a "how long is a piece of string" scenario, however I think we'd all benefit from a roadmap that factors in a lot of these core areas that are popularly upvoted on the Canny board over the last few years.

We're also having issues getting around this;
- We only use 1 of the 5 custom pages on general pages as our site doesn't use the pre set pages.
- Hijacking the top of a find and filter landing page looks messy/gets in the way of selling product.
- Making a "blog post" to host the content doesn't match the content we want to put on the blog.
If we had the option to create pages, we'd be able to make new pages to improve customers user experience such as a "Womens only brand page" or an "about the team" page which we could keep on top of in house to keep up with seasonality. We update our ALP's pages very often as content dates quickly on our site.

agree, we are constantly having to use design time to fix pages that are injecting content from WP, eg embedded contact forms, videos, trustpilot widgets etc. Where we let the WP page stand alone we seem to be stuck with a url containing 'blog' which doesn't make sense for largely informative static content and T&C's

Couldn’t agree more, the SEO issue is of concern as is consistency of navigation through what can be critically important pages for the individual business.
