other EC branded websites:
Implementation and use of the page content type is recommended if the site hosts a significant volume of relevant content.
Guidelines
If you need to create/edit a content page or navigation page on the European Commission website, consult the step-by-step guidelines to using the Page content type.
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
