To create a reusable Jahia page template, scaffold a file under src/templates/Page using componentType template and nodeType jnt:page, then define Areas and AbsoluteAreas to establish consistent layout regions across multiple pages.

Areas in Jahia hold per-page content editable on individual pages, while AbsoluteAreas manage site-wide content like headers and footers, enforcing layout consistency across all pages that use the same template.

Add a header and footer to a Jahia page template by defining AbsoluteAreas within your jnt:page template file, which allows shared site-wide components to display consistently across every page using that template.

Yes, you can pre-define page structure when creating a Jahia template by including an import.xml file, which provides guidance for building starter templates and automatically scaffolding the initial page content structure.

Jahia page templates require frontmatter containing a name and description, along with componentType set to template and nodeType set to jnt:page to ensure the system correctly registers and identifies the layout.

Use AbsoluteAreas in Jahia web CMS to manage shared components like headers and footers site-wide, ensuring editorial workflows maintain strict layout consistency without requiring manual updates on every individual page.
