Getting Started With Designer

As the designer of the site, you spend most of your time using the Site Studio Designer application. It is recommended that you install Site Studio Designer locally on your computer.

In Designer, you build the site hierarchy and create the overall look-and-feel of the site. You make decisions about page layout, site navigation, and the use of fragments and contribution regions (that is, the editable areas of web pages).
