Site homepages
About this component
Pages on our website can be divided into sub-sites (we just call them “sites” to make it easier), and each of these sites has a homepage. The content area includes a basic overview of the department and any other relevant information, as well as links to any sub-pages (often using a callout gallery or features gallery).
What is a site?
Sites can be seen as complete websites that serve a distinct audience.
We use a multi-site WordPress installation with the PCC website divided into distinct WordPress websites. This way, content editors only see their pages when they edit content, and it’s easy to designate a single site owner. Each site has a designated homepage.
Styling
The pages are usually more visually interesting than regular content pages (through the use of imagery, callouts, etc.) and should have clear calls to action or links to important information on the site.
Site homepages are usually full-width but can also have a sidebar, which has links to sub-pages. See content area for details about full-width or sidebar pages.
