Headshot of Tom SmallIt is straightforward enough to add content using an article, but how do you determine where on the site that content will be displayed? The answer to this question is menus. The entire Joomla system is organized around menus. Nearly every piece of content on a Joomla site needs to be connected to a menu item entry before it is available to visitors. Joomla menus define how the user will access the content of a site.

The presentation of that menu is controlled in the UAB sites by modules and by the template that has been designed for you. Modules are the components that make up a page on your site. For example, the top banner, each of the menus, the main content area, the right hand content area, and the footer are all modules. Joomla comes with a number of layouts that combine these modules to create web pages. To create the look of any particular page, you assign some combination of these modules to each menu item. Then, when the user clicks on that menu item, Joomla assembles the resulting page by bringing in each of those modules and displaying them to the user.
