Building Your Site
With your site map in hand from the site planning guide, you can now build your site. We’ll start by creating the site’s overall structure, and then go back to fill in content.
Step 1: Top Level Pages
First we are going to create any pages that are listed in the second column of your site map (we’ll handle collections in that column in a minute). When you first click on your site’s name in your sites list at manage.myrenao.com, you will arrive at the articles list for your web site. Make a new article for each of the pages listed in the second column.

Step 2: Collections
If you have any collections in your second column, you will need to create them now. When you create a collection, renao will drop you into that collection so you can immediately start adding articles to it. Do this for any pages in the third column associated with that collection, the same way you did for top level pages.

Step 3: Site Navigation
Once you have your top level pages and collections created (though not yet filled with content), you can add them to your site's navigation menu.

Step 4: “Extra” Pages
If you have any pages remaining in the last column of your site map, you will want to create them now. While you are creating them, link them to other relevant pages on the site.

Step 5: Add Content
You now have the skeleton of your site laid out. Time to draft the text and gather or produce images for each page or collection homepage on your site. Then open each one and add the content.
