Combining Page Types
One of the best things about InstantPro is probably the feature that allows you to combine pages together to create your own, fully customised pages. This way, you can build large and complicated pages in small, manageable blocks or sections. This means - for example - if you are an artist creating a portfolio of your work, you can combine a gallery page type with a contact page to get instant feedback on your work! In this tutorial, that's exactly what we're going to do.
Find out more about these page types on our
pages and features page.
1. First of all, open up InstantPro Website Builder from your MyFreeola Account and open the Page Manager from the Site Overview page.
2. I want my contact form to be underneath my gallery, or in other words, I want to 'attach' it to my gallery page. To do this, I have to edit my contact page. To do this, I simply click the edit icon next to my contact page on the Page Manager page.

3. On this page you can edit all of the options for your contact form. Once you have created any page, there will be a button at the bottom labelled 'Combine'. This will combine your currently selected page to another page of your choice. You're not restricted to combining only two pages together - you can add as many pages together as you like using this same method.
Because I am editing this contact page, it will be combined and placed beneath my gallery page. It doesn't really matter which way around you combine pages, as they can easily be re-arranged in to the correct order once they are combined.

4. Clicking 'Combine' will bring up a box asking you to confirm which page you would like to merge your selected page with. I want to merge this contact form with my gallery, so I select 'Gallery' from my existing pages and then select 'Combine »' to complete the process.

5. After clicking this button you will be directed back to the Page Manager page. Here you will see your combined pages along with options to re-arrange the order if you wish to. Simply click the smaller arrows to the left of the pages in each row. You may still edit each page type individually if you need to.

6. You have now successfully created and combined different page types to create a new page! View your new page on your site by clicking the view button. Here, people may easily view my gallery and leave feedback.

Remember that you can combine any page types with each other. Choose from a standard page, blog, photo gallery, guestbook, contact or links pages. Mix and match each page type to create your own unique website with InstantPro Website Builder. Find out more about these page types on our pages and features page.
