Hi,

I have just installed DNN v5 on my client's web server. All installed smoothly.

I have a set of designs for the layout of their new web site. My question is very simple.... where do I go next? I am looking for some documentation or other resources which provide a good introduction of how to convert the existing portal that comes with the installation into a new Web site.

The documentation I have found seems to be very good for installation or more advanced topics. I need something at the level of 'You have installed DNN, this is where you go next...'

Very grateful for any suggestions.
Martin

next steps:
  • install your own custom skin and container(s) (login as host user, go to Extensions in Host menu and use "install new extension")
  • apply new skin to your site (go to Site Settings in Admin menu and select your skin and container)
  • in Site Settings, set Registration mode to none until you configured user profile and registration
  • delete modules on default home page
  • add new content module to the home page according to your needs (HTML, Links, ... whatever you need)
  • add more pages and modules

Cheers from Germany,
Sebastian Leupold
