Hub landing pages are used as a central digital location for a particular website theme. For example, you might use one for Student Health and Wellbeing, then link relevant content pages, videos or other digital locations from here.
Hub landing pages are set up in a very similar way to Content pages. They just have different styling once live on the website. That said, they should act as a ‘hub’, so it is important to use the available components to create useful links to related pages, therefore creating a site section with a central theme.
Who can build and edit Hub Landing Pages?

Anatomy of a Hub Landing Page
On Contentsis, a hub landing page is made up of a series of sections of content and components. To create a page, you need to add content to a number of these sections – such as text and imagery. Most sections and components, however, are optional meaning that you don’t have to use them if you don’t need to.
The process of building a basic hub landing page is very simple: You start at the top and work your way down through each section, adding text, imagery and components where you need them, until you reach the bottom. All of the required elements to a page are highlighted in Contensis; everything else is optional.
You can find out about components and how to use them in our dedicated section.
Editing a hub landing page
Most of the work you are likely to do on Contensis will be editing an existing page, and most of this will be using various text functions. Essentially, if you can use Microsoft Word, you can use the Contensis text editor.
When writing for the web on behalf of the university, we recommend you familiarise yourself with the style guidelines on the intranet.
Editing other elements of a content page is most likely to involve accessing and changing individual content types and/or components. Refer to the individual component guides for guidance on doing this.
Remember: Some components can appear on multiple pages across the website. If you edit one by accessing it from a content page, the changes you make will be reflected across the other pages where it has been used. If you are in any doubt, check with the content team first!
