# CMS (Tools)

### Manage your Menu and Footer

The CMS controls your website’s Menu and Footer. 

You can edit existing Menu/Footer items or add new ones.

**Nodes**

Menus and footers are comprised of **Nodes**.

There are four Node types:

<table><thead><tr><th width="186">Node</th><th>Summary</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Link</strong></td><td>The destination you want to add to your Menu or Footer.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Structure</strong></td><td>Used to organise groups of Nodes into columns.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Text</strong></td><td>Used for Menu section headings or descriptions.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Image</strong></td><td>Used to add images to the Menu or Footer.</td></tr></tbody></table>

**Menu Tree View**

Venditan Commerce uses a tree view to display the structure and content of your Menu and Footer.

The interface supports drag and drop for easy rearrangement of the Nodes.

Your website's Menu will display across all devices as standard, but you can hide specific Nodes on mobile if you prefer.

Footers are managed in the same format, and you are given the same freedom to edit and add to the footer as you wish.

### Create and manage your 301 redirects

When you change a page or blog's URL, use the **301 Redirect Tool** to set up permanent redirects.

This is crucial to pass equity to the new link, ensuring your SEO isn’t negatively affected by the change.

Our redirect tool allows you to manage simple redirects without our assistance.

**Bulk 301 Redirects**

If you need to implement many redirects in one go, please contact your Account Manager. We can handle this for you and save you time.

**Product URL Redirects**

Venditan Commerce will automatically implement a redirect for you when updating Product URLs. The 301 Redirect Tool can only be used for Pages and Blogs.

### Manage your Media Library

Review and organise the Media (Images, PDFs) you've added to Pages and Blogs.

Media is stored in a library, neatly organised by URL for easy access.

Venditan Commerce has built-in compression, automatically optimising images upon upload.

We provide guidance on image dimensions, and uploads will be declined if they exceed a specified size limit.

Venditan Commerce supports the following file formats: `JPG`, `PNG`, `WEBP`, `PDF`

### Create and manage your Events

You can use Venditan Commerce to market **Events** through your website.

This is ideal for merchants who regularly run events and want to manage them efficiently by consolidating the information into their eCommerce platform.

You can create Events with the following details:

* Event Name
* Venue
* Start Date
* End Date

Venues can also be created and managed separately for repeat use.

This information is then linked to an associated Blog Article using an event Template to communicate the Event details to your customers.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Venditan Commerce does not provide ticketing functionality, but your website can support the HTML embeds of your chosen ticketing system.
