Aurora Hive Sites

For your website. Build pages, maintain text and images, publish. No programming.

Basics

What a site is, how the first website comes about and why everything starts out as a draft.

Your first website

From an empty page to online. Which pages you need, what goes in them and what can wait.

Navigation, pages and addresses

How the navigation is created, how addresses are formed and what happens when you rename something.

Blocks — which one for what

26 section types, one after another: what each is meant for and when it is the wrong one.

Pages and blocks

How a page comes about, what a block is and why the slug is best right from the start.

Design

Colours, fonts and look. Plus the live editor, which lets you work in the preview.

Design in practice

Colours, fonts, spacing: which decisions matter and when to change later.

Writing texts

What belongs on the page and what does not. And how to start when you cannot get started.

Media

Upload images, videos and files and reuse them. Plus the alt text that is easy to forget.

Images in practice

Which images work, how to prepare them and what applies legally.

Symbols, releases and editorial plan

Maintain once instead of changing ten times. Publish several changes together and plan ahead.

Domain, encryption and third-party servers

Setting up your own address, the padlock in the browser, and why the site does not fetch anything from third-party servers.

Multiple languages

Add a second language, translate texts, proofread AI suggestions and approve them.

Multilingual sites in practice

Whether a second language is worthwhile, what it costs in the long run and how to translate.

Publishing and domain

How the draft becomes the public website, and how your own address is added.

Working together in a team

Who may do what, how an approval works and what happens when two people work at the same time.

Loading time and performance

Why pages become slow, what images have to do with it and what half an hour can achieve.

Visitors, figures and A/B tests

How many people come and where from. And from what point a figure means anything at all.

When something is stuck

Look things up by symptom: site unreachable, change not visible, form silent.

Forms

Receive enquiries without putting your own email address on the web.

Forms in practice

Which fields, how many, what is legally required. And how to keep enquiries out of spam.

Posts and newsletters

Everything that has a date: writing, planning, sending. Plus the rules for subscriber lists.

Blog and newsletter in practice

Whether a blog is worth it, what to write about and how often. Plus how it works together with the newsletter.

Events

Showing events, accepting registrations, handling participant data correctly.

Donations and members

For associations: projects with a target amount, incoming donations, donation receipts, member list.

Donations and members in practice

Accepting donations online, producing receipts, collecting membership fees. Plus the tax side.

Getting found

What search engines need from your site, what the assistant checks and how A/B tests work.

Being found in practice

What you can do yourself, how long it takes and how to recognise dubious offers.

Legal

Legal notice (Impressum) and privacy notice generated from your master data, plus the cookie notice. And what the system cannot do for you.

Law in practice

Legal notice, prices, advertising claims, images. The points at which small websites receive formal warnings.

Limits — what Aurora Hive Sites cannot do

Shop, booking, portal, forum: what is deliberately missing and which route works instead.

Plan and billing

Which plan applies, who sends the invoice, how to cancel. And what happens when a limit is reached.
