Symbol indicating which page is the start page on your website.Constructing a website from scratch requires a great deal of thought before the practical work begins. It is important to have a clear idea of what information is to be displayed and how this should be structured so that visitors can easily find what they are looking for. If the website will contain large information volumes, it is even more important to plan the structure properly from the beginning.
It is common to create an area-based structure directly under the root, and to build up structures under this root for each area. To make it simple for visitors to find what they are looking for and navigate around your website, it is a good idea to limit the menu structure to a maximum of three levels. This also makes it easier for you to maintain the website in a clear manner.
The structure in EPiServer CMS is made up of pages. The names of the pages automatically form structures and menus. At the top of the structure you will always find the root object, which is the basis of your website. Under the root object you will find typically the start page and the recycle bin. The start page of the website is marked with a specific symbol. You may have more than one start page in the page tree structure if you have a multiple site enterprise solution.
Under the start page, you then create the sub-structures you want by adding new pages. It may be appropriate to create the page structure before you fill the pages with content. It is easy to move and copy pages in the structure.
