JetPages is a component-based content management system (CMS) for building and maintaining multilingual websites. You build each page from stackable content blocks called sections, edit it in a split-view editor with a live preview of the real website, and translate it into every language automatically. Published pages are served as ready-made copies from a global network of servers, so the website stays fast and available around the clock.
This page is a complete reference to what JetPages is and what it can do. Each area links to the detailed documentation.
Core concepts
JetPages has two parts: the admin, the editing interface only your team can see, and the website, what your visitors see. A page appears on the website only after you publish it.
- Pages — your website is made of pages, such as Home, About, or Contact. You manage them under CMS Pages in the admin sidebar.
- Sections — every page is built from sections stacked from top to bottom. A section is one block of content, for example a hero, a text block, or an FAQ.
- Languages — every page exists once per language. You edit one language at a time and can translate a page into all others automatically.
See Get started for how the admin and the website fit together.
Pages & publishing
- Create pages — a new page is added under CMS Pages with a meta title, meta description, and slug, then filled with sections. New pages can also be created from templates. See Create a page.
- The slug — the slug is a page’s address, the part after your domain. It is the same in every language and cannot be changed once the page is created. See The slug.
- Status & publishing — every page is either published or unpublished. Publishing takes a page live for all languages at once, and a page can only be published when it exists in every language. See Status & publishing.
- Editing live pages — when you save a published page, the changes go live right away.
- Draft workflow — for bigger changes you create a draft copy of a published page, edit it in isolation, and then apply it in one step or discard it. The live page stays untouched until you apply. See Draft workflow.
- Page history — every save is stored automatically as a version, per language, with date and user. You can view an earlier version read-only and copy its content back. See Page history.
The editor
The page editor is split in two: a live preview of your real website on the left that updates as you type, and the page form on the right. See The page editor.
- A toolbar lets you switch language, show all sections, translate the whole page, open the page, and save.
- Clicking a section in the preview jumps the form to that section.
- A drag handle between preview and form resizes the preview, so you can see how the page looks on different screen widths.
- Body copy is edited as rich text.
- Parallel editing is protected against silent overwrites.
- Save writes only the language you are editing.
Sections
A page is a stack of sections, and you build pages by adding, arranging, and filling them. See What are sections.
- Types and variants — every section has a type, such as Hero, Text, FAQ, or Markdown, and many types come in several design variants. You pick the type and variant from preview pictures.
- Manage sections — add a section at the end or before and after an existing one, move sections up and down, and remove them. See Manage sections.
- Copy & paste — copy a single section or a whole page and paste it elsewhere, across pages and from an old version in the history. See Copy & paste sections.
- Edit in all languages — one dialog changes a section across every language at once, with a tab per language, a built-in translate button, and selective saving. On a published page this dialog is the way to change section content. See Edit one section in all languages.
Multilingual & translation
Your website can exist in several languages. Each language version of a page has its own content, meta title, and meta description; only the slug is shared. One language is the default language, which is where new pages are written and translation starts. See How languages work.
- Automatic translation — translate a whole page or a single section into all languages or selected ones. Translation replaces the content of the target languages, so you review the result afterwards. See Automatic translation.
- Translation prompts — add your own instructions: general ones about your company, per audience, and per language, for example preferred terminology or tone. They apply to every automatic translation, including pages, sections, header and footer, and collections. Single pages can get their own page prompt on top. See Translation prompts.
- Translation model and structure — JetPages translates with the AI model that performs best in an ongoing model comparison against real translation results (currently Anthropic Claude), and sitemap language annotations (hreflang) mark the language versions of each page.
Site-wide content & collections
- Header & footer — the menu at the top and the area at the bottom appear on every page and are edited in their own places in the sidebar. They exist once per language, and saving takes them live immediately. See Header & footer.
- Collections — shared content, such as FAQ entries, is managed once in a central list and reused on any page. Changing an entry updates every page that uses it, including published pages. Some collections instead copy their values into the page when you select an entry. A collection entry holds all languages in one form. See Collections.
- Announcement banners — multilingual banners can be shown across the whole website.
SEO & sharing
- Meta title & description — every page and every language has its own meta title and meta description, which is what search engines show in their results. See Meta title & description.
- Search visibility — indexing can be controlled per page, together with canonical URLs.
- OG image — the preview picture shown when a page is shared, converted to the right size and format automatically, with the home page’s image as the fallback. See OG image.
Media & forms
- Images — images are managed centrally and can be uploaded directly in the editor, optimized for delivery through a CDN.
- Video and files — videos can be embedded with adaptive streaming, and files can be uploaded and made available for download.
- Forms — contact and newsletter forms collect submissions, with an overview of them in the admin.
Hosting, performance & reliability
The admin and the website are separate. The website keeps a ready-made copy of every page and serves it from a network of servers around the world, so visitors get pages from a server close to them. This makes the website fast and lets it handle many visitors at once. See How the website is served.
- When you publish a page, save a published page, save the header or footer, or change a collection, the website refreshes its copies automatically.
- Because visitors always receive a ready-made copy, the website keeps working through short hiccups behind the scenes and is available around the clock.
- Common situations and their fixes are collected in Troubleshooting.
Security & access
- User management includes password reset.
- Accounts can be protected with two-factor authentication.
- Single sign-on via OpenID Connect is available as an enterprise option.
- Draft previews are reachable only through signed preview links.
- The website is hardened with strict security headers and HTML sanitization.
