CMS (Content Management System)

WebStadia includes a built-in CMS for creating and managing blog content. Write posts, organize them into categories, manage author profiles, and publish — all from the dashboard.

Getting Started​

  1. Create a new website and select CMS as the type
  2. Choose a template (built-in or custom)
  3. Complete the setup wizard
  4. Start creating content

Features​

  • Posts — write, edit, publish, and unpublish blog posts
  • Pages — create static pages (About, Contact, etc.)
  • Categories — organize posts by topic
  • Author Profiles — manage author bios and information
  • Subscribers — collect and manage email subscribers
  • Templates — choose from built-in templates or use your own

Dashboard Sections​

Analytics​

The CMS includes a built-in analytics dashboard showing:

  • Total posts — with month-over-month change
  • Published vs. drafts — see how many are live
  • Subscribers — active subscriber count with growth trends
  • Post views — total reads across all posts, with per-post breakdowns
  • Recent posts — quick list with view counts and last-edited timestamps

Post views are tracked automatically when visitors read your blog posts.

Setup Wizard​

When you create a CMS website, the setup wizard guides you through:

  1. Choose Theme — pick a template, clone from a URL, or start blank
  2. Blog URL — set where your blog lives (e.g., /blog)
  3. Post URL structure — choose between year/title, category/title, or title patterns
  4. Review — confirm your settings
  5. Next Steps — suggestions to set up author profiles, categories, and write your first post
tip

After setup, take a moment to create author profiles and categories before writing your first post. This ensures your posts display correctly with author information and proper categorization from the start.

How It Works​

  1. You write content in the CMS editor
  2. WebStadia generates static HTML from your template + content
  3. The generated site is deployed to the CDN
  4. Custom domains and SSL work the same as static sites

The CMS produces a fully static blog — fast, secure, and globally distributed.
