Backend-Layouts
Backend layouts are designs for an appearance on a page. These can cause a special structure of a page automatically.
For example, backend layouts can be used to generate subpage teasers at the bottom of each superior page. These teasers make it easier for mobile users in particular to navigate through web pages.
For illustration
Three backend layouts are available
Desktop view
It is easy for desktop users to access subpages. Navigational aids are not absolutely necessary.
Mobile view (smartphone)
To facilitate navigation for mobile users, teasers (arrows) are generated by an appropriate backend layout.
Options for selection
Three backend layouts are available:
1. Standardseite Redesign mit Teaser der Unterseiten = normal page with teaser of the subpages.
2. Standardseite Redesign = normal page without teaser
3. Startseite Redesign = backend layout for start pages (not always selectable)
1. Standardseite Redesign mit Teaser der Unterseiten
2. Standardseite Redesign
Teaser through backend layout
Teasers can be generated from subpages with the help of backend layouts.
Advantages of Teasers:
- Facilitate navigation through web pages
- Teasers make a page more dynamic and appealing
- Arouse curiosity and tempt to "click on"
- Informative about page content
- Do not write teaser text until the website is complete
If everything in the content has been linked in a user-friendly way, teasers can be hidden.
Editing the backend layout
- Select page and change to page properties
2. Select the "Appearance" tab
3. Selecting the backend layout to change
4. Customise backend layout as desired
Further details
If a selection is made on a parent page under "Backend Layout (subpages of this page)", this setting is passed on to the subpages.
On subpages, a change to the backend layout can be made independently of the settings on the superior page.
If you find a page with automatically created teasers, but no setting is set in the backend layouts in the page properties of this page, this may be due to the passing on of settings from parent pages.
