Site Studio Designer Guide > Getting Started With Designer > Site Hierarchy
The site hierarchy shows the fundamental structure of your Web site, and it ultimately governs many other aspects of your site (such as how you organize content and how Site Studio controls its presentation). You can show or hide the site hierarchy from the View menu.
After you specify a name and location for a Web site in Site Connection Manager (see Site Connection Manager), you are ready to start building the site structure. You do this by creating a home page, then individual sections (like Products, Services, and About Us) in the site hierarchy.
After you add the sections, you are ready to add page templates to each section. Page templates come in two flavors:
Primary page: A primary page is the page template that is associated with a section in the site hierarchy. It is the page that you see when you go to that section of the site (much like the default page on a conventional site).
Secondary page: A secondary page can also be associated with a section in the site hierarchy. However, its main purpose is to serve as a backdrop for files (contributor data files and native documents) added to the site by a contributor.
Whether you are adding a primary or secondary page to a section, you have three options: create a page template from scratch, reuse an existing page template, or create a page template based on an existing page template. For more information, see Working With the Site Hierarchy. You can also use the Manager application to modify the site hierarchy and assign page templates (see Site Studio Manager).
