Servee: The web. For humans.

Start designing with Servee

A few PHP tags is all you need to get your site up and running

To build a site with Servee, you don't need to know how every tiny intricacy of the web works. You don't need to know any backend development languages or javascript. You do, however, need to understand how a page is structured. Take a look at this page. It is made up of the following elements: 

1. A navigation menu
   
2. A main content area that changes with each page on the site
   
3. A secondary column, which is static across all pages
4. A set of links that displays recent tutorial posts

Each of these elements are displayed in different ways across this site. The navigation menu and the sidebar are static elements, which means they display on all pages. The secondary column is built directly into the template. The navigation is built dynamically by the software, so this is where the first PHP tag is entered into the template. It looks like this:

<% navigation %>

This code tells the program to build the navigation in that specific location in your template. If you add pages with Servee, the navigation will be updated across your entire site. The navigation will always be displayed with a class and an ID, as follows:

<ul id="navigation" class="nav">
    <li><a href="http://design.servee.com/graphic_design/ ">design home</a> 
    </li>
</ul>

Different kinds of content area have different PHP tags. Following is a complete list of the other tags used in Servee:

1. <% navigation %> (navigation menu)
   
2. <% content %> (main content area)
   
3. <% content title %> (headline, for SEO)
4. <% content subtitle %> (subtitle, also for SEO)
   
5. <% content module 1 %>, <% content module 2 %>, <% content module 3 %> (for dynamically loaded content, such as the calendars, twitter feeds, and the headlines below)
