The diagram depicts how to use the program to construct a web page from start to finish. Stylesheets, Layouts, and templates sections are for Administrator use only. Most likely, you do not need to create layouts and templates for a new web page; you use existing ones. If you have edit rights, you can create and update web pages and part types. The Administrator must assign these security rights to user roles.
For information about security, see Users & Security.
Site explorer contains multiple sections. Each plays a major part when you construct and design a web page.
Pages & templates — You can store each web page and template individually in Pages & templates with quick access to each page. In Pages & templates, you can create, edit, and delete pages for your website and view the URL path for each page. To create a web page, you must add content parts from Parts to your page in Pages & templates.
Note: Templates are the framework for your website and establish consistency throughout your site. Administrators can create, edit, and delete templates in Pages & templates. When you create web pages, you can start with an existing template.
Image library — Use Image library to add, delete, and approve images for your website. In addition, view a preview of an image to make sure it appears on the screen correctly. Images must be saved as a *.bmp, *.gif, *.jpg or *.jpeg file. An image does not appear on your website until you add it to a web page.
Parts — Use Parts to create, edit, and delete reusable content information, such as a user login and user profile form. A content part does not appear on your website until you add it to a web page. To create a web page, you must add parts from Parts to your page in Pages & templates. You can also assign security rights to roles for each content part in Parts.
Note: With some parts and layouts, you use a powerful HTML editor to format and lay out several features, such as email, newsletters, and content on web pages. With the HTML editor, you can update content easily and safely while you maintain control over the website design and content.
Layouts — Administrators use Layouts to design and place panes on your web page. In Pages & templates, these panes contain parts and images. To customise layouts, insert rows, add bullets, and adjust font size and style.
Style sheets — Administrators use style sheets to create unique elements such as colours, font types and size, and spacing for your website. Style sheets, written in Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) format, are easier to use than other methods such as HTML. Unless you specify a custom style sheet, your website uses the program’s default style sheets. In Style sheets, you can create custom style sheets that override a default style.
Files - Use Files to add, delete, and approve files for your website. Files also provides you with access to all Documents part files in one location.
