Create a site

The first thing you will see when you log in to Griddo is the screen with your sites. From here you can access the one you need and perform certain actions, described below.

Creating a site is very easy. Just click the New button that appears on the right of the top bar to start the creation process.

1. Modal: When you click to create a new site, a modal opens to complete the site creation.

2. Name: We assign a name to the new site.

3. Default language: We choose the site’s default language from the list of languages that appears in the dropdown.

4. Domain: We choose the domain for this new site from the list that appears in the dropdown. They will have been created beforehand.

5. Path: We enter the site’s full path, including any prefixes you want per language.

6. Button: Once we have completed all the fields, the button, previously inactive, becomes active to finalize the site creation. Once created, we access its settings.

In the site settings we can edit the site’s essential data:

1. Site name You can change the site name.
2. Timezone You can define the timezone for this site.
3. Site theme You can choose a theme for the site. By default, it will apply the design system’s default theme.
4. Site favicon You can select an image for the site’s favicon.
5. Navigation modules By default, the site takes the navigation modules that come by default in the design system. If you need to use different ones, you can select them.

In addition, Griddo uses a few images to identify the site:

1. Small avatar Appears at the top of the Griddo side menu when it is collapsed. It is usually a square version of a logo.
2. Big avatar Appears at the top of the Griddo side menu when it is open. It is usually a horizontal version of a logo.
3. Site thumbnail Used to identify the site in the sites listing.

From the sites screen itself, you can perform some actions to make managing and reviewing your sites easier.

The default view is grid mode, but you can switch to list mode at any time. You can also change the sorting and filter the listing.

To publish or unpublish a site from the listing, just open the actions on the site card and select the publish or unpublish option.

To delete a site from the listing, you need to open the actions on the card and select the delete option.
