Content
Create categories, add items, edit copy, attach images and icons, reorder, and delete.
The Content section covers creating categories and content items, editing copy, attaching images and icons, reordering, and deleting.
Creating a Category
Adds a new top-level section to your site with its own page and URL.
Categories are your main sections. Examples: Services, Projects, Blog, About.
Each category automatically receives a homepage section, its own dedicated page, and its own URL.
- Click on Sites in the Nav bar.
- Click on Content -- this takes you to the Content Manager for your website.
- On the left sidebar, the first button will be a (+New). Ensure you select that and not the ones under a pre-existing category.
- This will lead you to a form. Enter the relevant information using the Data Entry Guide below.
- Click Save.
The category is automatically added to the homepage, given its own dedicated page, and assigned its own URL. You do not need to manually create the page separately.
| Field Name | What it does |
|---|---|
| Name | The internal name used to identify this item in the system. |
| Display name | The name that people will see on the actual website. |
| Display plural | The name used when the system refers to a group of these items (e.g., "Galleries" instead of "Gallery"). |
| Title | The main heading of your page. Start here. |
| Short Title | A shorter version of the title to be used in small spaces, like menu bars. |
| Tagline | A brief, catchy sentence that appears under the title (like a slogan). |
| Short Content | A one-sentence summary of this section. This exact sentence becomes the section's description in your site's structured data, so write one complete, standalone sentence. |
| Content | The main section where you type all the primary information and details. |
| Icon | A small symbol or graphic used to represent this item visually. |
| Image | A photo or logo you select from the library to be shown with your content. |
| External Link | A web address you can add if you want to send people to a different website. |
| Display Order | A number that tells the system which item should come first, second, or third in a list. |
The Golden Rule: Start with the Title. Everything else is optional depending on how much detail you want to add. The page's web link (slug) is generated for you automatically.
