Creating and Publishing Web Sites 

Use

Users in specialist departments can use the Web Page Composer to create and publish Web sites for a company's own intranet or for an external information portal.

Site owners in specialist departments can create, maintain, and publish both content and the navigation structure of their area independently of the IT department.

You can delegate the creation and publishing of individual pages on your site to editors. Authors can also contribute individual articles or other content.

       4.      Site owners: Add Web pages to the site navigation structure and publish the structure.

An administrator has to integrate the site navigation structure into the portal navigation structure. This step takes place only once for each Web site. Site owners in specialist departments can then update the navigation structure whenever they want.

       5.      Editors (optional): Localize Web pages.

You can use localization to achieve the following:

○       Display Web pages in several languages.

○       Display different content depending on the region of the logged on user.

       6.      Site Owners/Editors (optional): Use an existing Web site or Web page as a template.

WPC allows you to create copies of existing Web sites and Web pages. This is especially useful when you have to create a set of Web sites or Web pages with similar structure and content.
