The basic principles
Seeds CMS was designed to help you create and manage your website's pages inline, which means you edit the content directly on the page (once you have logged into the admin system), allowing you to edit in a mode as close as possible to WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get).
Before editing their content, you'll need to create pages. You can do so from the admin panel's "Pages" section, or alternatively from the page's Editing Toolbox. What is important to bear in mind is that your website's menu is generated directly from the list of pages on your website. They can be de-activated or excluded from the menu in their settings, and you can also manage the order in which the pages/menus appear (including sub menus etc) from the admin panel's "Pages" section.
Once your pages are created, you can select a template for them. You may have some templates designed specifically for your website, which can sometimes accept new content zones or simply have editable content snippets. Otherwise, the standard templates are 'blank' pages, which usually accept content zones, which you can drag from the Toolbox into the page.
To edit the content of your zones or snippets, or manage other content types such as image galleries, you should right-click them and get a list of options allowing you to edit the content (or other appropriate actions).
For more detailed instructions on creating pages or editing their content, please see our Introduction to Pages.
