The editor is Markdown-first, with features that make writing smooth and intuitive:

  • Live Preview – see changes update in real-time as you type.
  • Syntax Highlighting – Markdown syntax is highlighted for better readability.
  • Auto-Save – your work is automatically saved as you go.
  • Link Management – easily link between pages using Markdown syntax,
    e.g. [My Page](/my-page/).

Click the Preview tab in the navigation bar to switch to preview mode.
This lets you check your content before publishing:

The Pages tab shows all pages in your site and helps you manage structure.

🗂 Page Structure

Simple Page supports flexible organization:

  • Home Page – your main entry point (usually /).
  • Subpages – create pages like /about/, /contact/, etc.
  • Nested Pages – structure content hierarchically, e.g. /blog/first-post/.

📂 Embedding Media

The Files tab gives access to the file manager.
Here you can upload and delete files or folders, and embed media directly into your pages.

  • Works for images, audio, and video files.
  • Use standard Markdown syntax, e.g. ![alt text](/_files/path/to/file.png).
  • To copy a file link, click the copy button in the file manager

⬆️ Publishing

To publish your site:

  1. Get an ENS domain if you don’t already have one.
  2. Select your domain in the interface.
  3. On first publish, you’ll be redirected to the subscription page:
    • A subscription fee is required to publish with Simple Page.
    • Use the hamburger menu to revisit this page later for subscription management.
  4. With an active subscription, review your edits and click Publish.

ℹ️ Make sure the subscription is linked to your own ENS domain.
If you navigated to the subscription page from a template site, the domain may default to simplepage.eth or the template’s domain.
Double-check and correct it before proceeding.

📡 Offline Mode

The editor also works offline.
All edits are saved locally and will be published once you’re back online.
