A content site is a group of related content pages that have the same basic theme,
layout, and URL suffix.

Content sites are made up of a series of basic building blocks. The Employee Self-Service site
is an out-of-box sample site that is included in the CMS activation. It provides existing,
working examples or each CMS component, which you can use like a template to build your own site.

  Configure a site by either creating a new site with CMS or by editing a copy of either the ESS Portal or the Service Management Portal.
