Perform Common Customizations

You can customize the static or dynamic content in the Café Supremo marketing website application to suit your organization's needs.

Static content that can be modified includes website content associated with look-and-feel of the website, colors, text, and so on. This type of static content remains the same on the website unless modified. You can modify static content anytime.

The dynamic content is the content that is dynamically available in the website such as assets from the assets repository including content items and so on. When you modify such dynamic content, the changes reflect on the website dynamically.
