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
- Create a new website and select CMS as the type
- Choose a template (built-in or custom)
- Complete the setup wizard
- 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
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Posts | Create and manage blog posts with draft/published states |
| Pages | Create standalone pages outside the blog feed |
| Categories | Organize posts into categories |
| Authors | Manage author profiles shown on posts |
| Subscribers | View and manage email subscribers |

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:
- Choose Theme - pick a template, clone from a URL, or start blank
- Blog URL - set where your blog lives (e.g.,
/blog) - Post URL structure - choose between
year/title,category/title, ortitlepatterns - Review - confirm your settings
- 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
- You write content in the CMS editor
- WebStadia generates static HTML from your template + content
- The generated site is deployed to the CDN
- Custom domains and SSL work the same as static sites
The CMS produces a fully static blog - fast, secure, and globally distributed.
