Split a long page in two
Pages grow the way sheds fill up — a paragraph here, a section there, until your About page is also your commissions page, your press page and your events listing. On a bernard-hosted site you split it by saying where the seam is.
How it works
- Get your access prompt. Log in to bernard, open your site, and copy the prompt from Edit with AI (it contains a key that works for 12 hours).
- Paste it into your AI — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, whichever you already use — then say what should stay and what should move, or use the prompt below.
- Approve. The AI sends back a preview link. Read both pages, check the menu, press Approve, and they're live.
The AI handles the joinery: the new page matches your site's style, the menu gets its new entry, and anything that linked to the moved content gets pointed at the right place — so visitors never notice the renovation, just the result.
The prompt
“My [the page name] page has grown too long — split it into two pages: keep [what stays] where it is, and move [what moves] to a new page called [the new page title]. Update the menu and any links.”
The [bracketed] parts are yours to fill in. First time? Log in to bernard → your site → Edit with AI → copy your access prompt, paste that into your AI first, then ask the above.
Questions people ask
- How do I split one web page into two?
- If your site is hosted with bernard, tell the AI you already use — ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini — where the split should fall. It creates the new page in your site's style, moves the content across, updates the menu and fixes the links between them.
- Will I lose anything in the split?
- No — the content moves, it isn't rewritten, unless you ask for a tidy-up at the same time. You see both pages on a preview and nothing goes live until you press Approve — and bernard keeps a full year of history besides.
- When is a page too long?
- When it covers two different jobs — workshops and commissions, say, or your story and your stockists — visitors and search engines both do better with one clear page per subject.
