Adding Artworks, etc

There are two main content types on the website:
Records and Pages.

Records (Artists, Artworks, Exhibitions)

Use records to create entries for your artists, artworks, exhibitions, press, news, events, etc.

Enabling your Record modules

You can manage which records you see in your drop-down menu by de/activating them in Settings > General > Modules

Warning: If you don't see all the modules from the screenshot below in your own CMS, it might be because your package has limited features.

Pages

You'll want to edit these pages first:

1. Your Contact page, which could describe what you do, how to get in touch, and where you're located.
2. Your Home page, which can link to your forthcoming and current exhibitions, list recent news and events information, and describe what you do.

Other pages:

It's unlikely that you will need to enter information into many of the pages which have been preloaded to your CMS because they are dynamic.

You will not need to add information into other pages, but you can do so if you prefer to give further context to your visitor.
