Setting up the site for content authors

The roadmaps in this section help some users complete tasks to implement a design wireframe for a new landing page.

Who should use the roadmaps

Typically, a company or group consults with a design agency or design team to get an HTML prototype wireframe, CSS, and other design specifications when a new page template is required. After the design phase, an information architect takes the wireframe and determines what content needs to be developed to turn the wireframe into a page template that is available on Site Manager. The information architect sends these design requirements to a team that develops and administers the site to implement the design.

The technical team includes people who have a range of skill levels and focus areas. Your organization might merge these roles or have more roles than described in this section. As you review the outlined requirements for a sample landing page later in this section, you might relate to one or multiple tasks. Select the roadmaps that best fit your focus areas on your technical team.
