Builder comes with a built-in Page model for you to use. The Page model is what defines a Page. When you create a Page content entry, as this tutorial shows, Builder uses the Page model to determine the characteristics the Page content entry.
The default Page comes with a Title and Description field. If you need to edit the default Page model or create additional models, check out Intro to Models. Working with models is an ideal way for developers to define content paradigms that all team members can use.
To get the most out of Builder Pages, start by Integrating Pages with your codebase. In this way, the developer can focus on the code while non-coding team members have the freedom to create and edit as many Pages as they like.
