A ‘section’ is a unit of content. Generally a section equates with a page on your website, but they are also much more flexible than that.
Sections make up the website navigation. In addition to text and images there is a range of web features built in to controlroom.co that can be added to these sections.
Where other systems have distinct units for each content type, controlroom.co has only one flexible and adaptable unit. This makes it easier to get started quickly and make changes, for example moving content from one part of the site to another.
