Understanding Your Website Pages
Overview
Your Vacation Labs website is made up of different page types, each serving a different purpose. Some pages you build from scratch, others are auto-generated from your product data.
All page types support sections — modular content blocks like banners, tour cards, testimonials, and more — but the level of flexibility varies by page type.
| Page type | How it’s created | Section flexibility |
|---|---|---|
| Static pages | You create them manually | Full — all section types, any order |
| Collection pages | Auto-generated from collections | Full (section-based layout) or limited (classic layout) |
| Tour pages | Auto-generated from trips/products | Fixed layout with configurable elements |
| Blog post pages | Created via Blog editor | Section-based — subset of section types |
| Coupon pages | Auto-generated from coupons | Minimal |
Static pages
Static pages are the pages you create yourself — your Home page, About Us, Contact, custom landing pages, and any other page you want on your website.
These pages are built entirely from sections. You choose which section types to add (banner slides, tour cards, testimonials, rich content, and more), arrange them in any order, and customize each one individually. This gives you full control over the page layout.
Static pages are managed from Website > Pages.

Collection pages
Collection pages are auto-generated from your collections — groupings like destinations, activity types, or travel styles. Each collection gets its own page listing the tours that belong to it.
Collection pages support two layout modes:
- Classic layout — a simple tour listing with filters. Limited customization.
- Section-based layout — the same full section support as static pages. Add banners, testimonials, rich content, custom HTML, and more around your tour listing.
To switch a collection page to the section-based layout, go to Products > Collections, edit the collection, and click Switch to section-based layout.
In section-based layout, a Tour Collection Listing section is always present and cannot be removed — it’s the core tour listing for that collection. You can reorder it (e.g., place a banner above it and testimonials below), but you can’t delete it.
Collection pages are managed from Products > Collections.
Tour pages
Tour pages are auto-generated from your trips and products — one page per tour. They have a fixed layout with configurable elements rather than free-form sections:
- Photo gallery — tour images with lightbox
- Dates & rates table — departure dates, pricing, availability, and Book Now buttons
- Itinerary — day-by-day breakdown with optional images and maps
- Sidebar widgets — inquiry form, highlights, inclusions/exclusions, and more
- Custom HTML — for embedding third-party widgets or custom content
You configure what appears on tour pages through the tour editor under Products > Trips.
Blog post pages
Blog posts use a section-based layout similar to static pages. You add sections via the Content Sections tab in the blog post editor to enrich your posts beyond the main body text.
Available section types for blog posts:
- Rich Content — additional text blocks with an optional photo gallery
- Tour Cards — showcase related tours
- Collection Cards — showcase related collections
- Logo Strip — display partner or accreditation logos
- Inquiry Form — lead-capture form (inline or modal)
Blog posts don’t support Banner Slides — the featured image serves as the visual header for the post instead.
Blog posts are managed from Website > Blog.

Coupon and promo pages
Coupon pages are auto-generated landing pages for your coupons and promotions. Their layout is mostly auto-generated from the coupon settings — discount details, applicable tours, validity dates, and terms.
Coupon pages are managed from Marketing > Coupons.
