ID Marketing NZ makes web building easier with the use of a simple hierarchy. Each website you’ll build has 4 levels: At the very base there are Elements; A number of elements create an Item; Several Items together create a Stripe; And several stripes combined build a Page; The pages of course, is what your Website consists of. Every level has its own menu and settings. Take this stripe for example:





If you click any of the elements on the stripe, you will see several menu items that you can hover over to reveal a submenu. Each submenu allows you to control one of the levels - element, item and the section (stripe) as a whole. You can also make different stylistic changes to the site as a whole through the website style menu. To reach it, hover over the settings button at the top of the editor page, and click site settings:
