Websites data modelling
This article explains the entities in the domain model that relates to the Websites area, and how they are linked to the rest of the domain model.
The main entities of the Websites area are website and page. The conceptual domain model below is an overview of how the entities correlate to each other.

The website entity
The website entity resides in the Litium.Websites.Website namespace. Website contains a hierarchical structure of pages. To make a website visible, a channel is required. Channel is the entity in which languages, markets, domain URL's and countries are defined for a given website. A website can be connected to several different channels.
The page entity
The page entity resides in the Litium.Websites.Page namespace. The page object contains all content, settings and other information for a specific web page. A page is connected to one page template, one website, one parent page, multiple channels and multiple block containers. When a page is created, all properties based on the page template are displayed on the Properties tab of the page in edit mode. The page at the top of a website hierarchy is called home page and does not have a parent page. The home page is shown directly under the website icon (globe) in the tree structure in the Websites area. All other pages are always created as child pages to other pages.
A page can be connected to several block containers. A block container can be considered as a placeholder, that you can add blocks to.
A page object can also be connected to multiple channels. This connection indicates that the page is active in that channel and can be viewed if a user accesses the domain URL of the channel. Only channels that have connections to the corresponding website can be active at page level.
The block entity
The block entity resides in the Litium.Blocks.Block namespace. Blocks are the smallest component of a web page. A block is a section of a page, but it behaves like a page without a URL. A block belongs to a block template (block type) and can be connected to multiple channels. If a block is connected to a channel it means that it is active in that channel, and will be displayed when a user accesses the content page via that particular channel.
