I am looking to create a webpage that does not have the menu at the top: it is a page people click to collect information, and the only way they find it is because it was sent to them. I don't want it a part of the menu because I don't people that start at the home page or any of the other pages to accidentally stumble upon it: it would be too confusing and create too much unwanted noise for anyone other than the specific people that are targeted via email or SMS to visit.
Is this possible without having to use a widget?
You can create a page and set it to "hidden from menu". That way, only those who have exact URL can open it (you can send them the URL) . in this example, access instructions are hidden from the menu, but when I email guests an email with URL, they can click and open it.
Thanks you kindly, Blue!
For anyone who wants a more detailed walkthrough, what you do is go to the Hosted Websites page (under My Website section), press the "Menu Layout" button, then drag & drop the newly created page under the Links category and drop it into the Hidden category. Press Save, and it is now no longer showing up on the menu.
