Build a Content Site

Start with a simple content-driven site to learn the platform through a realistic structure.

A content-driven site is the simplest good first build in Evolution CMS. It teaches the resource tree, templates, TVs, chunks, menus, and publishing flow without adding too much business logic too early.

Recommended Scope

  1. create a homepage, about page, contact page, and one repeatable content section
  2. define one or two templates only
  3. add a few TVs for subtitle, image, summary, or CTA fields
  4. build navigation from the tree
  5. keep reusable presentation in chunks or Blade partials

If you can build this cleanly, the rest of the platform will make much more sense.
