Step-By-Step Procedures:

name each page, (in new window) type name you want to use and click create page
click edit add text, image, table, icon etc. click save (you must save the page) You can edit/save any page as desired
 set up a folder for a single page, Click on Pages and Files tab (top of page) Click add right of Folders-type name of folder
arrange a list of folders, if you want a folder for each page you create follow the same procedure
