Building the Page!

Here we will utilize our Content Tree, our Content Loading Dock and all the other riches of Sitecore.

• The Content Editor has been designed to make loading content super easy for you.
  The content editor loading dock is where you will be providing your page’s substance.
• The Content Tree is where you will find your department folder and sub folders that you can create and edit.

First we must create a page to build in.

• When building your pages you will need to locate the proper folder for you content build within the content tree.
• The content tree reflects the basic build of the live site.
• You should be able to easily locate your department or category within the content tree.
• When you find your correct parent folder right click it to create a new page.
• A pop-up menu will appear.
• Select Insert and then select your first option.
• Depending on which category you are creating a page in, the name may change. It may say “About page”, it may say “BBA page” etc…
• Click the one that has a page icon next to it, it will be the top choice.
• When you click this a dialog box will open asking you to name the page.
• You will need to choose a page name that is very specific to the site content.
• You will also need to make sure that the page name has a hyphen between the words.
• Enter in your Page Name with hyphens and press OK.

Now we can Create and Edit!

• You will see a new page has popped up in the content tree.
• Click on this page and you will see the title with hyphens pop up in the content loading dock on the right side of the screen.
• If you are not familiar with the purpose and function of these sections of the content loading dock, please see the overview videos.
• For the editing process you will need to make sure your page is locked by clicking the lock and edit text at the top of your content loading dock.
• First, change your Page Title to exclude the hyphens.
• Adjust the Navigation Title.
• Insert appropriate Metadata Tags.
• Save after each of these.
• Insert your Metadata Description text into the field.
• Make sure it is very clear and descriptive with lots of active words.
• You have 140-200 characters to entice people to look at your page.
• Take a note from Cyrano, woo them with your words.

Now that you have done all of the set up, it's time to make some content!!
