Getting started with your first Karta page

If you haven’t already done so, you need to create a Kartra account and go through the necessary set up. This link will give you 14 days free access to Kartra and all the functionality it offers. This is an amazing deal and you really should try it out for yourself.

Once logged in you will need to select the My Pages menu item and then select the ‘+ Pages’ green button in the bottom right hand corner.

Creating a Kartra page

Today we are going to be creating a 404 error page so select 404 Pages from the left hand menu and choose an appropriate template.

Once you are happy, select Launch Builder and complete the information in the dialog box and select Create.

You will be launched into the Configuration Builder screen where you can change the layout, look and feel of your page. Areas of particular importance are action points. This is where the user will interact with the components and expect an action in return i.e. buttons.

Make sure that the button links are configured correctly:

Once you are happy select Actions and Publish Live. You have now created your first Kartra page.

Publishing your Kartra Page

You will be asked whether you would like the page link or the page code. In cases where you will be hosting the page in a WordPress blog you will need to select the page code option.
