Key learnings

>  Multi-Lingual sites need to be complete >  Use webpaths in Squiz CMS

•  www,clearswift.com/apac/ >  Nested content for the areas of the site that are static but

‘localised’ •  Even nested content within nested content

>  Make use of Snippets for content that is always different >  Remember … If you edit a page the link to the master is

broken

Thank you, any questions?
