Pages nest exactly as they appear in the site’s navigation, so the structure you edit is the structure a visitor walks. Templates and layouts hold the frame, and a change to the frame lands on every page carrying it.
Talk to us about a site →Pages nest under each other as they do in the navigation. Drag one and its children and its URL follow.
A template is the page shell; a layout is the arrangement of slots inside it. Both are edited in code or in Design mode, whichever suits.
A block used in more than one place — a header, a footer, a promo — written once and referenced everywhere. Turn any block of a template into one from a button underneath it.
Small changes save without a full round trip. A publisher can lock a page, template or layout, making it read-only to everyone else until they release it.
Signed in, open any published page and a slim bar appears along the bottom with an Edit toggle. The words change where they sit.
Any page can carry translations, and any page can be given a password from the selection bar.
A demonstration installation, with invented data.
The reason a site becomes unmaintainable is that the same thing is written in forty places. Templates, layouts and objects exist so that it is written once.
Change the footer object and every page carrying it is republished. Change a layout and every page built on it follows. The work is in deciding what the frame should be, not in applying the decision forty times.
Putting something on the public site — publishing a page, unpublishing it, setting a password, locking a template — needs Publishing rights. Day-to-day editing does not.
So the people who write can write, and the moment something becomes public is a decision somebody was trusted with.
/sitemap.xml is generated on every publish from the page tree itself, so it cannot drift from the site. Pages published as code — stylesheets and scripts — are never offered to a menu or listed as destinations.
Structure you can see.
If your current site has a page nobody can find and a footer that is wrong on nine pages out of forty, that is the problem this solves. Get in touch →
