Categories & Sections Overview

Updated over 2 months ago

Your school website is designed to help you organize and present information about all aspects of your school community. The platform uses a simple three-level structure to keep everything organized and easy to find.

How Your Website is Organized

Think of your website structure like a filing cabinet:

Categories (Main Drawers)

  • These are your main organizational areas

  • You can create up to 6 Categories

  • Examples: Academics, Athletics, Student Life, Resources, Administration, Community

Sections (Folders within Drawers)

  • Each Category contains multiple Sections

  • You can create as many Sections as needed

  • Examples: Under "Academics" you might have Elementary, Middle School, High School

Pages (Individual Documents)

  • Each Section contains individual Pages with your content

  • You can create unlimited Pages

  • Examples: Under "Elementary" you might have Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3 pages

What You Can Include

Your website can showcase all the important information about your school:

  • Grade levels and academic programs

  • School departments

  • Athletic teams and schedules

  • Student clubs and organizations

  • Resources for students, parents, and staff

  • And much more

Access and Permissions

Who Can Access Category Management:

  • Website administrators

  • Accounts specifically designated by the website administrator

This ensures that only authorized personnel can make structural changes to your website while still allowing designated staff to manage content.
