Mastering Liferay Pages and Navigation

Modern websites rely on pages and navigation to deliver engaging, intuitive experiences to users. Site pages are the fundamental building blocks of website structures. They provide a canvas to design and build rich content with organized layouts and interactive functionality. Site navigation is the road map that connects pages and empowers users to find what they need. Together, pages and navigation form the foundation of a successful digital experience. To build effective pages and navigation, content managers must follow the principles of user-centered design and apply them to a website’s information architecture.
