51:16 Foundation 6 total CMS SEO Helper and
01:19 off-site as well as the Swatch pack for
01:21 foundation
61:30 these are the common page types that I
01:32 have found that most of my clients have
01:33 required from a wide range of business
01:35 types each page type has its own admin
01:38 page for you to customize
01:45 settings each page also allows you to
01:47 customize the page title which is what
01:49 shows up in the tab above every page of

02:05 characteristics each page of course is
02:08 fully customizable to set up each of
02:10 these pages with their own unique blog

02:15 and blog form Pages could take a long
02:17 time with Cumbre everything is already
02:20 set up and ready for you to start
02:22 designing blog form Pages have common
02:24 SEO requirements but they can also be
02:27 customized the drinks menu blog form for
02:30 instance Has a Field called ingredients
02:33 that allows you to enter the different
02:34 ingredients for each drink the
02:36 ingredients are separated by
02:45 commas this version of kumbre which is
02:47 version 1.01 is a more streamlined and
02:51 userfriendly version of kumbre I
02:53 received feedback and realized that the
02:55 project file may be too overwhelming for
02:57 most users when you open the project
03:00 file you'll be on the start here page
03:03 underneath is Legend and holding box the
03:06 legend shows color codes for pen Stacks
03:08 used in the project file and other
03:10 helpful information to understand the
03:12 project file as you develop it holding
03:14 box is a place for you to keep different
03:16 versions of various components that you
03:18 may want to use throughout the project
03:20 file you can use this page to store
03:23 different versions of components on your
03:24 website that you are currently working
03:26 on and wish to further develop while
03:28 having a different version on the page
03:31 I've streamlined the number of pages
03:33 that you see right away to six you have
03:35 home blog admin sitemap 404 and sandbox
03:41 if you click on in used Pages you'll
03:43 notice that it looks like it's an empty
03:45 page and that's because it is if you
03:47 click on the tab furthest to the left
03:49 you'll notice that this checkbox for
03:51 draft has been checked this means that
03:54 the page will not publish if you set a
03:57 page as a child of unused pages it will
03:59 also be automatically set to draft and
04:02 if you were to drag that page out of
04:04 unused pages the page will not be draft
04:06 anymore so it will publish if you
04:08 publish the project file if you twirl
04:11 down the unused pages you'll notice all
04:13 the other page types fall underneath it
04:16 if you have a project file and want to
04:18 start a new website with an about us
04:20 page you can easily select and drag this
04:22 page out this will set the page to be
04:25 published instead of a draft if you
04:27 don't need the page type you can drag it
04:30 down and place it under the unused pages
04:33 it will not be
04:40 published one thing to notice about the
04:43 page structure within kumbre is the
04:45 hierarchy of the pages for instance the
04:48 homepage has one subpage underneath it
04:51 this is the admin page where you can
04:53 control the settings of the homepage now
04:56 if you notice the folder for this page
04:58 is called the admin home hom page you
05:00 don't need to know this because when you
05:02 go to the admin page from your website
05:04 it will be whatever your domain name is/
05:07 admin all admin subpages are fed into
05:10 your project through an off-site stack
05:12 by Weaver space this allows your project
05:14 file to have a very simple and clean
05:17 interface other page types such as the
05:20 blog need a Blog view page this page
05:23 contains the blog post stack the blog
05:26 page also has an admin page like the
05:28 homepage
05:30 this admin page allows you to adjust
05:32 settings for the blog page that your
05:34 users will see these settings include
05:36 the banner title Banner subtitle and
05:39 gallery images for the banner you can
05:41 set the page title page link title page
05:45 description and Page social share card
05:47 for each page since this is a Blog it
05:50 also has its own admin blog for the list
05:52 as well as the blog form edit page this
05:55 same structure for pages and hierarchy
05:57 is throughout the entire project
06:00 kumbre is designed to make it easy for
06:02 you to create a website quickly you can
06:05 open the project remove unnecessary
06:07 Pages publish the files to your server
06:10 and have a fully functioning website in
06:12 just a few minutes depending on the
06:14 number of pages you have so you can
06:15 start to add content and begin fleshing
06:17 out your website to make it look however
06:19 beautiful you want again kumra is a
06:22 starting point yes you could use this as
06:25 a fairly functional website but why stop
