Step 1: Add New Page
Build a page by adding one to your site. To do so, go to the Home page of your site, click +New, and select Page. Next, choose a page template suggested by Sharepoint or you can choose a blank page and then click Create Page. -
Step 2: Create Page
To create a page, you need to add a page name in the top area where it says Add Name. Adding this is important otherwise the page will not be saved. Another way to create a page is to go to another page and copy its design so you don’t have to manually add sections and web parts anymore.

Step 3: Add Web Parts
To add structure to your page, you need to add web parts. These parts include news, schedules, document libraries, or communication threads. And to add the web parts, point your mouse below the title area where a line with an encircled + sign will appear and you can select the content you want your page to have.

Step 4: Publish Page
Once you are done with adding web parts to your page and editing other content, you can now publish your page. Do this by clicking the Publish button at the top-right side of the page. Publishing the page will let the other people connected to the page or site know about these changes, however, if you aren’t ready to show them the changes you made yet you can choose to save it as a draft temporarily.
