A reader needs the right catalogue rather than a generic homepage. This guide creates a page that makes the next action clear.
Before you start
Sign in to ShortFreeURL and open Pages in the dashboard. A standalone page does not require a short domain or a paid link-shortening plan. Prepare the real destinations for Search catalogue, Book an event, Opening hours, Digital resources. Example template links are placeholders and must be replaced.
Set up the content
- Choose the library template or Create page. Enter a title visitors will recognise.
- Put “Search catalogue” first. Give the destination a label that describes the action rather than “Click here”.
- Add “Book an event”, “Opening hours” and “Digital resources”. Use the up/down controls to change their order.
- Use a text block for essential context, a heading to separate topics, and a contact block for a valid email or telephone link.
- Choose a layout and colours with readable contrast. Save draft, check the preview, and publish when the real destinations are ready.
Expected result
The published page has a stable /p/ address and clearly named actions. Open page takes you to the visitor-facing version. Share this address through bookmark inserts; customers do not need a ShortFreeURL account to view a published page.
If something is wrong
A draft is intentionally unavailable to the public. Publish the page to make it accessible. Invalid destination schemes are rejected; use a complete http/https address, mailto email link or tel telephone link. Save errors should be resolved before closing the editor.
Some digital resources require a library card after the click. If you want to try another layout, duplicate the page and keep the copy as a draft until it is ready.
