Top navigation is automatically generated from your root pages, and the background of each is set on the Admin tab of the top most pages.
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 for your own newsletter into the Partners Database is both easy and a good strategic decision, as it means that new contacts are added inmmediately to the global system. It also means that you have immediate access to them via your reporting interface in the Partners Database.
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.
Left hand pushes are blocks of images, links or downloadable documents (what ever you need!) that show on the left hand side of the page under the lef thand menu all the way through your website.
"Modules" is the name given for each block of links and text that shows on the right hand side of each page.
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.
