      Scope: Per page - You assign website template per page.
      Styles supported: You can check here.

       

       

      What is it useful for?


      Templates allows you the flexibility to add a variety of layouts styles and add functionalities to any page you create in the CMS. This means for example you can have multiple galleries and change unused templates to content pages to better utilise the default pages. 

      Please, contact us if you want to have an advance customisation so you can change page templates.

       

      Where can I select a page template?


      Go to Section “2. Manage Content” > “Menu & Pages” > “Edit”


      Go to the  Menu & Pages section of the Smart CMS and there you will find a list of pages in the menu structure (sitemap) of the website.

      page-template-01


      Edit any page for example the about page, and located toward the bottom of the page is the Page Setup section from where the page template is selected and defined.

      page-template-02


      Note:       Although       “Use current” is selected in this example, the defining template is “Locations”. The reason for this is that the CMS comes with a set of predefined pages already set up with these templates assigned. In most cases these default templates can be changed but some essential pages can not.


      See below the list of templates that can be selected. The links to the right show examples of the expected layout.
