Swirlhost® Websites

Swirlhost® websites are made up of Pages and Modules.

Pages: Pages provide a place for you to display your site content. For example, a site for a soccer team Web site might have a Games page which includes scores from previous games, and information about upcoming games.

Modules: Pages are made up of one or more Modules. Modules are bits of functionality which can be added to a page. For example, a Games page for a soccer team Web site might have an Events Module so that team members could view upcoming soccer games.

Swirlhost® has many built-in modules including, Text (for any text content), Table, Events, Links, Picture and more. In addition, many more modules area available from the community including Web Forums, Blogs, and Photo Gallery. Contact your Web Hoster’s documentation for a full list.
