Now that you have created a page, you will learn what areas on any document you are able to edit. Understanding where these areas are will help when you learn how to edit these areas of a document.

Global Header Area

Every page will have the same JMU header, which also includes JMU's top navigation panel. You cannot edit this area.

Site Title Area

The site title appears at the top of pages within a website. The site title text overlays the site heading image, providing a consistent visual identity across a site.

Breadcrumb Area

Breadcrumbs appear at the top of a page, providing viewers with additional context and navigation links. 

Display Name Area

The Display Name appears at the top of the page and provides a visible title for the page content.

NOTE: The Display Name is what appears visually on the page, but the Page Title is important for Search Engine Optimization. Display Names can be general, but Page Titles must be specific and unique. Learn more about page titles and display names.

Left Navigation Area

The Left Navigation Area is the navigation panel that is specific to your website. 

Content Area

The Content Area is where the main content of the page resides. Content may be added to the default area or connected to a page as content blocks.

Departmental Footer Area

The Departmental Footer Area is the gray footer specific to your website. You have some editing control over this area, but most of the time, ITWeb will already have this set up for you.

Global Footer Area

Like the Global Header Area, every JMU website will also have a Global Footer Area that you will not be able to edit.
