Once you have set your theme you will need to tweak the global navigation settings to suit your site.
Your website theme is colour coded (if a regional site) to match the GWP global map. These colour codes should be sued all the way thorugh the GWP website and not changed. However there is room for customisation, just so long as the overall GWP brand and feel is not lost.
Collecting information from your users is a fundamental part of modern websites. This section discusses how to use x-Forms and when to integrate with external systems, for example the Partners Database or an e-newsletter provider.
To create a custom form that sends a newsletter sign up to an external system is also possible. The below example demonstrates how this can be done to Vertical Response, a company who offers not-for-profits 10,000 emails per month for free.
EpiServer is set up with some forms that communicate directly with the Partners Database and with a service that queries information back from the database. This data is used to inform us of activity in the network, provide help and asssistance (see collecting data using forms) and to show on the website our reach using maps.
Creating a site, be it a microsite, regional or rethinking gwp.org should be approached methodically. This section provides some best practices and some very basic tools to help you through this proccess.

(2) A report containing a list of all important documents and pages people link to on your current site
(3) Create a keyword report so you know what search terms people are using to find you
