How Does RocketPages Work?

Here is a brief overview of just a few of the main RocketPages features.

Login

Access your site’s control panel via a login screen that is invisible to your site users.

Add Pages

Once you are logged in, you will access all your site functions using tabs on the left. Manage Pages & Navigation is where you work with site pages.

The Manage Pages & Navigation screen gives you an overview of all your site pages. Create new pages, change the way pages are displayed in your site navigation, delete pages, and edit page details. Pages can even be hidden so you can make edits without site visitors seeing your work in progress.

Add Images

Access Manage Images & Files to view your image library and add or delete images. You may also edit individual images, including cropping the images right in the website. Images may be grouped into customizable categories, and each category may be hidden or displayed as you desire.

Edit Content

To add content to your pages, switch to layout view. The desired page will be displayed with some handy controls which allow you to add, delete, and sort the order of content blocks (called widgets. View a widget list here). Note that the widgets in the image below are called Text & Image widgets, but no image is shown in the block. That is because widgets allow many different types of elements such as headlines, titles, paragraph text, links, images, etc., but all elements are optional, so you can mix and match what you need.

Click the Add Content button to access a list of widgets available in your site. The widget you choose dictates what kind of content will be displayed and how it will be laid out on the page. There are lots of standard widgets included with every site, and you may choose to add special, premium, or even custom widgets to your site.

Click the edit button at the top of a widget to display an easy-to-use form in which you may input text, images, or other elements for display on your page. Because all the fields are optional, the same widget may be used to lay out content any number of different ways.

Once you submit the form, your content changes are published to the web on the spot (unless you choose to deactivate the widget or the entire page).

Rocket Fun Fact

Inspired by a vision that “extreme altitudes” could be achieved, American scientist Robert H. Goddard turned to rockets as the means to high-altitude flight.

Goddard’s early experiments with traditional rockets led him to conclude that greater thrust could be achieved with liquid fuel, although solid fuel was much more easily obtained and handled. His first liquid-fuel flight in 1926 was short-lived – achieving an altitude of only 41 feet.

The New York Times viciously mocked Goddard due to his suggestion that flight in the vacuum of space might be achieved, saying that “he only seems to lack the knowledge ladled out daily in high schools.” It wasn’t until 49 years later – as the liquid-fueled Saturn V was carrying Neil Armstrong to the moon – that the Times issued a formal apology.
