Site structure using page templates

Each site us build with Content Template Catalog contains several page templates and a repeated structure for each site area in the content repository. We must follow this pattern when us build a Content Template Catalog site because that is how the templates were designed. Each template instantiates a “microsite" of content artifacts along with the page. The portlets on the page are automatically linked to this content.

• Page templates for navigation and content
  Content Template Catalog has page templates used to create landing pages, index pages, and details pages. Landing pages create the overall site structure and create a hierarchical navigation structure when they are nested. A combination of index and details pairings, stand-alone details pages, and combined index and details pages provide content areas for your site.

• Microsites created from page templates
  When a Content Template Catalog page template is instantiated, a partial site, called a microsite, is copied into the site at the same time.
