# Content sites {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Yokohama  
Updated January 30, 2025  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
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.

* **[Create a site](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/uKaWCrcO90J9yEpsTp8~5A)**   
  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.
* **[Copy a site](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/qGs_y3h_Cg1v3lZ0LFRsmA)**   
  To create a new site quickly, you can copy an existing site.
* **[Content Management security](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/AgHT1I2JdP6Ohq9UlXG7hg)**   
  There are several methods for securing CMS sites and pages. Site security is set in the Login page field on the site record. You can control if a page is public or private through the URL.
