Background

The European Commission website is largely comprised of generic pages either in the form of navigation pages (which display blocks directing the user to sub-pages) or simple content pages with sub-headings.

Page content type fields that should be filled in include most fields found under the Content, Related, Background and Page Architecture tabs in the top left menu bar.

A simple content page can be enhanced by using it in combination with the following content types, if required:

  • File
  • Publication
  • Announcement
  • Timeline
  • Contact
  • Event
  • Featured item

Training

DG Communication organises regular Content management system training sessions.
