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

  1. 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).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
