Understand the website-page model #

In RevasOS it is important to understand what is meant by website, page, block and item. Here you will find a sereis of defnintions and descriptions to refer to in order to use the system properly and obtain the desired outcomes.

Websites #

A website is the collection of pages that a user can access by visiting your domain using a web browser. In RevasOS you can see your websites in the "Dashboard" section of the Websites app. In the dasboard view you will see collections of websites (website-groups) under the same domain name, usually indicating mutiple international versions of the website.

Pages #

A web page is the single document within a website, consisting of digital content such as text, images, videos and other multimedia elements displayed on a web browser.
You can think of pages as different areas of your website, so when building a website it is important to keep in mind a general structure that will be reflected by the different pages you will create.

Blocks #

Blocks are pre-designed sections of a web page and are what actually determines the content of a page. In RevasOS you can add, edit and rearrange blocks within a page in just a few clicks.

Depending on the different types of content you may want to display you might want to choose a specific type of block between the ones offered in RevasOS.

Types of blocks #

Primary #

This block type is the primary section of the page and it is used to display the main content like the headline of a page or other important info.
The actual visual representation of the block may vary between themes but the concept of it being used for the most important type of infos must be kept in mind. Using the primary block only on a few important infomration is a critical element in web page design as it often determines whether or not a user will continue to explore the rest of the page.

Linear #

This block type is designed to present information or content in a sequential or linear fashion. It provides a clear and structured way to present information to users, making it easy to follow anlong and inderstand theprogression of the content by reflecting the exact order of the items you input.

Grid #

This block type is designed to present content in a grid format. It is conceptually similar to the linear block but makes less use of the precise item order. This allows the user to browse the content in a columnar fashion. In RevasOS themes this block type translates in a neater display of content.

Columns #

This block type is designed to display content organized in a matrix made up of vertical columns. They are suitable for content displays that do not follow a specific order and in which the user is free to choose what to read. When displayed by RevasOS themes these columns might also not be alligned.

Code Blocks #

Code Blocks allow you to inject code directly into your site page in RevasOS in order to add additional funzinlity and customizations.

Dynamic previews #

Dynamic previews are special blocks where you can link a library to mosttrate an always-updated lsita automatically of elements linked to content or link a content to have the block data always synchronized with the content.

Items #

Items are the content that will populate the different types of blocks. A single block may contain multiple items but they all follow the same structure and have the same capabilites.

In RevasOS an item is always composed of:

• title
• description

and might also include:

• multimedia attachments (photos, videos)
• action button (link)
