Website Backend Overview

Websites have a frontend and a backend. The frontend is what visitors see. The backend is the interface you’ll use to manage the website. Within your website backend, you’ll find the following ten sections in the left sidebar.

1. Dashboard
2. Media
3. Litters
4. Dogs
5. Pages
6. FAQ
7. Testimonials
8. WPForms
9. Profile
10. Insights
11. Collaborate

Dashboard

Your website dashboard presents three boxes.

1. Form Analytics. Here you can quickly see the number of form submissions over the last 7 or 30 days. 
2. Add a New Litter. Click to add a new litter entry.
3. Add a New Dog. Click to add a new dog entry.

Read the support doc Dashboard to learn more about the dashboard interface.

Media

Media is the image library. This is where you can view and upload images and other media. Read the support doc Media to learn more about managing and editing images.

Litters

Location of all litter entries. “Litters” uses a data entry form. Read the support doc Litters to learn more about managing and editing litter posts.

Dogs

From the frontend, litters, dogs, and pages appear to be the same. The difference impacts the person managing the website. Below is a linear outline of the website structure. All except the bolded items are located in the “Pages” area of the WordPress Dashboard and are editable using a page builder interface.
