13 Page Templates
The inner pages every website needs beyond its home page: about, careers, services, FAQs, login, coming soon, and the 404 nobody plans for.
Introductory 4
Pages that introduce a business or a person. About Us stacks counters, progress bars, a row of client logos and testimonials. GDPR Compliance carries the Cookie Consent block, a consent bar with a privacy preferences window and a toggle for each service. Careers lists the open roles in accordions with an application form embedded under them, and User Profile is a member page built around a tab strip, a data table and a team member card.

Utility & Specials 3
Services pairs icon boxes with charts, which the Chart block draws from a data set you supply. Events is the archive of the events content type Canvas adds, with 16 event blocks of its own and a calendar among them. The FAQs page sorts its questions into toggles under a Grid Filter, so a visitor narrows them by topic before reading.
Layouts & PageNavs 3
Full Width lays out the column widths a full width page can hold. Page Submenu adds the Page Menu block, a second navigation bar under the header for the sections of one long page, with sticky and side-dot versions. Side Navigation is the Tabs block turned vertical, its labels down the side and the content beside them.

Miscellaneous 3
Login/Register puts the Login Form and Register Form blocks on one page. Coming Soon and the 404 are also switches in Theme Options, covered below.
Every link opens a real page on the live showcase, drawn by the same theme and blocks you install.
Rebuild any of these pages in your own site
Each showcase page is an ordinary WordPress page made of blocks, so the way to your own version is the same blocks in a page you create.
The frame around the page
A page template decides what surrounds the content, picked in the Template setting of the page. Canvas ships templates with no title, a wider content area, a full bleed layout, a landing page without the header or footer, a blank page and a splash page that keeps only the header.
The blocks inside it
Every block named on this page is in the inserter on every plan, among 202 in total. Insert one, open its settings panel and change the words, the links and the look from there.
A holding page while you build
Turn on Coming Soon Mode in Theme Options and every visitor except a logged-in administrator sees a holding page, sent with a 503 status so search engines know to come back. It can carry a countdown to a date, a progress bar, a newsletter form and a background image or video.
A 404 you designed
Set 404 Page Mode to Custom Page and choose any page you have built. Canvas shows it for any address that does not exist, and still answers with a 404 status, so search engines treat the missing address correctly.
Which inner pages a new website needs first
Launch with the pages people go looking for. That means an about page that says who you are, a way to get in touch, and a 404 that helps a lost visitor find the way back.
Add the rest when there is a reason. A careers page earns its place with the first opening, and an FAQ page once the same questions reach your inbox a few times. If the site sets analytics or marketing cookies, the consent bar belongs on it before they run.
While the rest is still being written, switch Coming Soon on so nobody lands on a half-finished site. The demo websites carry inner pages of their own, designed to match, which is often the faster route: import the demo closest to your business and edit its about page.
