## Create page and assign template

***

In your Shopify admin, **create a page** and **assign the \`contact\` template** to the page.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
From your Shopify admin, go to **Online store > Pages**. Click **Add page**.

{% hint style="success" %}
Pages are a Shopify feature: learn more in Shopify's guide for [creating pages](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/themes/theme-structure/pages).
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Enter a page **Title** (e.g. "Contact us").

{% hint style="info" %}
The title will not appear in the template. The title will be used for the page URL (e.g. **`www.store.com/contact-us`**).\
\
You don't need to add anything to the **Content** field. You will add the page content by editing the template in the theme editor.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click the **Theme template** dropdown to assign the `contact` template to the page.

{% hint style="info" %}

{% step %}
Click **Save**.
{% endstep %}

## Edit contact template

In the theme editor, edit the "contact" template to design the layout and content of your page.

We recommend first editing the preset sections and hiding sections you won't use, before adding other sections.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Preview page

Under "PREVIEW", click **Change** and select the page you created in the Shopify admin.

A warning symbol **(!)** next to the page name means that the template is not assigned. Click the page name to assign the template in the Shopify admin.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Customize sections

Edit the preset theme sections to add custom page content and styles.

Under **Template**, click **(+) Add section** to further customize your page with [theme sections](https://help.fluorescent.co/stiletto/sections/theme-sections).
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
