Public website

What it does

Pages built from a validated block tree, with revisions and rollback.
Draft, scheduled, published and archived states.
Six template packs that restyle the whole site without touching content.
Page templates that pre-fill a new page with the right blocks.
Header, footer and mobile navigation menus, generated or curated.
A shared media library.
Per-page SEO plus site-wide settings, and a news RSS feed.
A contact form with an administrator inbox.
Redirects, so URLs can change without breaking links.
Access levels gating pages to members or paid members.
A launch switch that keeps the site dark until it is ready.

Blocks

Pages are composed rather than coded. Blocks cover layout and hero sections, rich text, media, calls to action, feature and stats bands, FAQs, galleries, directories with filtering and alphabetical indexes, testimonials, and feeds that pull in the latest news, events, publications, leadership or conferences.

A template pack can override how any block renders, which is how the same content takes on a different look across packs.

Collections

Repeating content types with their own editors and publication state: news articles, event listings, publications, leadership profiles, chapter records and FAQ items. Blocks that display a collection pick up new items automatically.

Publications, news and FAQs are additionally grouped by a managed category list, nesting one level, maintained at /admin/site/categories (opens in a new tab). The publications index also offers a year-and-month archive, which is derived from each record’s publication date rather than authored — no year is ever created by hand.

Where it lives

Public: /, /p/[...slug] for free-form pages, clean-root URLs such as /about (opens in a new tab) and /contact (opens in a new tab), plus /news (opens in a new tab), /events (opens in a new tab), /publications (opens in a new tab), /leadership (opens in a new tab), /chapters (opens in a new tab), /faq (opens in a new tab)
Admin: /admin/site (opens in a new tab) and its sub-screens for pages, templates, homepage, each collection, contact, media, navigation, theme, SEO and settings
