Creating a site framework

A site framework is a similar concept to the "site map" of a traditional Web site. Whereas a site map is based on a directory structure or the links between pages in a Web site, a site framework consists of a set of a single site under which a set of site areas and content items are grouped.

• Planning a site framework
  Before creating a site framework, you should analyze your proposed site and determine the best way to develop your site framework.
• Creating site framework items
  To create a site framework, you will need to create sites, site areas and content items.
• Copying a site area
  As your site framework evolves, you will be required to edit your site framework by copying site areas from one section of your site framework to another. You use the copy button to copy a site area in the site framework.
• Moving a site area
  As your site framework evolves, you will be required to edit your site framework by moving site areas from one section of your site framework to another. You use the Move button to change the position of a site area in the site framework. When you reposition a parent site area, any child site areas and related content are also moved.
• Managing content items within a site framework
  As your site framework evolves, you will be required to edit your site framework by moving, linking or removing content items to and from different site areas.
