This checklist defines how Page Templates are created and used in Bricks Builder. Page Templates control the structural layout for standard WordPress Pages and establish consistent wrapping, spacing, and layout behavior before any page‑specific content is added.
Page Templates are structural containers. They define layout logic and dynamic placeholders, not editorial content or design‑specific styling.
Checklist Objective
Define a stable, reusable Page Template structure so all WordPress Pages inherit consistent layout behavior across the site.
