Website appearance and structure definition

Website appearance and structure definition is the process of defining the look and feel and the navigation of your CM websites.

To define website look and feel

The initial look and feel of a CM website is chosen when the administrator first defines CM websites. However, anyone with access to the Site Designer tool can subsequently change the look and feel of an existing website in various ways by using the Site Look and Feel section of the website's definition:

■    You can selectively mix and match master pages and themes that are listed in their respective drop-down lists. This makes it easy, for example, to share a customized master page among several different websites.

■    You can enable or disable the breadcrumb navigation on the site.

You can also use the Navigation Areas section of the website's definition to select the navigation areas that are used on the site, which can change the links that appear on the website according to the definition of each navigation area.

To customize master pages, see Integrating hand-built master pages and themes with CM.
