The following steps are a high-level overview of how to set up a site.
-
Plan and design your content.
-
Create a site.
The site is the container that holds all the content. To simplify your
process, you can copy an existing site and edit its components. For more
information on creating a site, see
Create a site. For
more information on copying a site, see
Copy a site.
-
Add pages to the site.
-
Create content blocks to customize the layout, headers, menu navigation, lists,
and static and dynamic content.
Content blocks are chunks of actual HTML that make up the content page. There
are various content block types available to help with your customization. For
more information, see
Content blocks.
-
Add style to your site using themes, style sheets, and frames.
Neither content sites or content pages reference style sheets directly.
Configure them using the Themes or Style Sheets options. For more information,
see
Style in Content Management.
-
Test the site.
After you create or modify a site, test the site to ensure that content
displays properly and all links work correctly. For more information, see
Test the site.
