You're missing the simplicity of this So let's say you want a page "Cakes" Go to Content/Pages and a create a new page (can be of any type, Richtext/form etc) When you create the new page it will take the title you entered and turn that into the Slug. So if your page was called "Cakes" the URL would now be 127.0.0.1:8000/cakes and you would create the template to be customised in /templates/pages/cakes.html In your case: "About Canvas" | 127.0.0.1:8000/about-canvas.html | templates/pages/about-canvas.html If you want the page to have a different Title to the Slug, you can edit the Meta section of a page.
