    Content sites

    A content site is a group of related content pages that have the same basic theme, layout, and URL suffix.

    Content sites are made up of a series of basic building blocks. The Employee Self-Service site is an out-of-box sample site that is included in the CMS activation. It provides existing, working examples or each CMS component, which you can use like a template to build your own site.
