Get to know the content model

This is the easy part - we have two types of pages:

• Page: Article
• Page: General

Article is best for deep-dives into a certain topic. For any other task, we use General. If you're unsure, experiment with one of each.

Once you've chosen page type, you basically start building your web page - with parts.

Parts are the building blocks all editors have available to build pages. 

See all parts here

These are the various content types:

• FAQs and FAQ groups
• Products, product groups and features
• Navigation, toplevels, sublevels and footer navigation groups
• Videos (via Qbrick or YouTube)
• Links (external URLs and anchors)
• Applications (relative URLs to apps)
• Charts (used to create diagrams for the Infographics part)
• Categories and Events (used for Feed and Archive)
• Documents (PDFs and spreadsheets)
• System messages

These are collections of pre-made data fetched by parts, so that you may create certain contents only once, maintain it in one place, use it on several pages and tailor the context around it on each page.

All content types have lots of useful configuration and metadata for your new page in its left-side menu:

• Teaser Content
• SEO
• Search Meta
• Add to Feed and Archive
• Article Options

Typically, product information is carefully written in collaboration with specialists, and we tend to give the same information on several pages. Therefore, we create and maintain the basic product information in one place, and fetch these ready-made texts in the parts.

Products are built with three content types:

• Product
• Product Group
• Product Feature

To display them on our websites, we use the following parts:

• Product Action List
• Product Cards
• Product Buttons
• Product Overview
• Product Group Table

The menu and footer are so-called global elements that exist across the entire site as a navigation tool for the users.

In our content model, they are created with four content types: Navigation, Toplevels, Sublevels and Footer navigation groups.

We use the content type system messages to add a global or local message to our users, typically when some of our solutions are failing or unstable. There are three different variants depending on your message:

• Information
• Warning (default)
• Error

You don't always have to start from scratch!

If you have certain parts that will be used on several pages, you should consider turning them into Fragments. 

Some pages use the same structure and sometimes even the same content. For these cases, it may save you some time to make use of Templates.

We use parts to fill our websites with content and design. There are 31 parts available to cover a multitude of needs.
