Each VCSSO CMS site is made up of a hierarchical collection of pages. A skin is applied to each page to give the page its overall look and general layout. Additionally, the page is divided into one or more content panes. Within the content panes users add modules that contain the actual page content.
Pages not only are used to place content on but also are used to create the structure of your site. This structure is what the CMS uses to build your sites menu. For instance, if you create a new page and assign an existing page as the parent page your new page becomes a sub-menu item of the parent page.
Skins are are similar to templates like what you might find in a word processing program. One copy of your skin is loaded and applied to all pages in your site. You will not have to worry about creating your sites skin. TS and Graphics will work together in creaing your skin prior to bringing your site online.
Content Panes allow you to divide your pages into content areas to give you that frontpage newspaper look. The content panes and their layout are part of your sites skin.
Modules come in different types. The type to use is based on what type of content you would like to present. You would use a Links module to display a list of hyperlinks whereas the image module can be used to display a single image.
