    Hi,

     

    I´m getting the same error here now so something has changed. But now you can easily create modern pages in any site by going to Site Pages and clicking new -> Site page. The best way I know of today if you want to remove the banner is changing the PageLayout as suggested by Aaron Shropshire works great.

     

    1. Create a new Web Site page in your SitePages library (The site feature "Site Pages" needs to be enabled)

    2. Use SP Designer or any other editor to modify the page and change 
    <mso:PageLayoutType msdt:dt="string">Article</mso:PageLayoutType> to 
    <mso:PageLayoutType msdt:dt="string">Home</mso:PageLayoutType>
