How to create a Webpage

Step-by-step guide to creating, writing, and collaborating on a webpage in StoryChief.

Written by Victor

Your website is often the first impression a prospect gets of your brand — and keeping it fresh requires a team effort. StoryChief lets you draft, review, and sign off on webpage content collaboratively, so your writers, editors, and stakeholders are always aligned before anything goes live. No more emailing Word docs or losing feedback in Slack threads.

Example: Your SaaS company is launching a new product feature page. A content writer drafts the copy in StoryChief, a designer reviews the asset descriptions, and the CMO approves the final version — all tracked in one place, with a full audit trail.

🔔 Notes:

You need an Editorial plan and at least a Writer role to be able to create webpages.

Confirm your plan & permissions with your workspace Owner if you're unsure.


Create your webpage

Step 1. From your dashboard, click "+ Create" and select "Webpage" from the dropdown.

Step 2. Enter a title for your page — for example, "Product Feature: AI Content Briefs." This is your working title and can be updated before publishing.

Step 3. Set the correct language at the top of the editor, between the title and the status indicator.

Step 4. Write your page content in the body area. Structure it with clear headings, short paragraphs, and a strong call to action.

💡 Tip: Write your H1 and meta description first — they anchor the rest of the copy and keep the page focused on its primary goal.


Enhance your webpage with editor tools

Custom fields

Step 5. Open the Settings tab in the left sidebar and fill in any custom fields your workspace uses — for example, target URL, SEO keywords, or page owner.

Readability

Step 6. Use the Readability tool to check that your copy is clear and accessible. Web copy should be easy to scan — short sentences, active voice, and no jargon.

Export

Step 7. Click Export to download the page copy as a PDF or Docx — useful for handing off to a developer or CMS editor.

Updates

The Updates tab allows users to follow updates on a piece of content, which will send out notifications for the piece.
Actual updates will also be shown, when someone adds content or when someone else replies, reviews etc.


Collaborate with AI chat, comments, and reviews

AI chat

Step 8. Open the AI chat panel in the right sidebar. Ask William to help sharpen your headline, suggest a stronger CTA, or improve sentence structure. Review every suggestion before applying it — nothing changes without your action.

Comments

Step 9. Select any piece of text and click "Add comment". Type @ to mention a teammate and direct their attention to that section.

💡 Tip: Use comments to flag copy that needs legal review or brand compliance sign-off before the page goes live.

Reviews

Step 10. Click "Ask for review" in the right sidebar. Enter a teammate's name or an external stakeholder's email address, and add a note explaining what needs approval.

Step 11. Track progress in the Reviews tab — each review shows as Pending, Approved, or Declined.


Set the webpage status

Step 12. Once your webpage copy is approved, update the status using the status selector at the top of the editor:

  • Draft — work in progress. Set a due date and source link to note the target URL and go-live date.

  • Scheduled — copy is finalised and ready for hand-off. Update the date to the planned publish date.

  • Published — page is live. Set automatically when the scheduled date is reached, or mark it manually.
