MultiExcerptNameFeature Overview

Each page of your BPD website is based on a template, and each template is broken up into sections called 'zones'.  This design gives the site its structure AND allows page content to be shrunk, expanded and customised depending on the look and feel desired and device used. 
 

There are 5 template types:

  1. Theme Layout - site header and footer content, as well as overall look and feel. See What is the Theme Layout? for more detail.
  2. Standard Templates/Pages - core templates/pages common to all sites, such as the Cart, Product Detail, and Order History. 
  3. Custom Pages - content pages unique to your site. This might be your FAQs, About Us, or Terms & Conditions.
  4. Emails - customisable email templates for communications such as Order Confirmation, Order Shipped, or New User Registration.
  5. Articles - customisable templates for newsletters and other suitable content such as blogs and FAQs.
