Step 6 - Create content

If you've got this far then you've successfully installed and configured uBizStart for your own business website.

Now comes the fun part, creating content.

Baby step 1 - Site wide content options

Every page in the site has a 'properties' tab and you need to complete each item on this tab as follows:

• The 'name' field - shown in red - is the page name which will be used as the first part of the page title and is likely to be used by Google in search results  
• The 'template' option allows you to choose a template for the page. This site only has only three templates.
• The 'home page' template should be used for the home page only
• The 'contact page' template should be for the contact page only
• All other pages should use the 'text page' template
•  The 'publication status' allows you to specify a date when the page will be automatically published and / or removed. Set this dates as required.
• The 'hide page' option allows you to hide a page from the site menus. Please note: the page will still be accessible using it's URL
• The 'meta description' field should describe what the page is about. This is often used by Google as the description part for it's search results.

Baby step 2 - Home page content

There's a number of fields you need to complete on the home page, content tab and these are:

• Header and Sub heading is used on every page of the site, however on the home page it appears directly under the Orbit image rotator.
• Feature image Alt text #1 should describe the first feature image
• Feature heading #1 is the tile for the first home page features
• Feature text #1 is the first feature description text
• Complete feature #2 & #3 in a similar way

Baby step 3 - Text page content

All the other site pages other than contact use the text page template and these pages need the following fields to be completed:

• Header & Sub heading - shown in green
• Body text shown in red - is the main content for the page 

 Baby step 4 - Editing the site widgets

Locate the widget you wish to update - shown in green and then update the widget headline - shown in red and the widget text - shown in blue

You can create as many widgets as you wish, just remeber to use the 'sidebar widget page' document type when creating the page.

Baby step 6 - Creating new pages

See my previous tutorial for how to create pages in Umbraco.

There are a number of extra things you need to be aware of when creating a page using the uBizStart starter site as follows.

When creating a page look at a similar page first to see what document type to use, and then use the same one

The menu system doesn't correctly support drop down menus (second level pages) at present when in the mobile view, so I recommend you limit your site to top level pages for now. This is due to a limitation with the foundation.zurb framework. I hope to add support for second level pages in a later version of uBizStart.

That's it. it's over to you now.
