Developing Oracle WebCenter Sites

This part describes the Oracle WebCenter Sites developer's environment. It begins with an overview of Oracle WebCenter Sites and the development process you will follow to create your content management (CM) framework. The rest of this part explains your main task of building the framework for the online site.

Building the framework for the online site requires developing the data model as well as designing and writing code to deliver content with the look and feel that best represents your organization's business.
