Now we will create a new site section for services. This site section will contain a left tree menu and a single editable region.
Click the root of the content tree and click New. Choose to create a new Page (menu item). Enter page name Services and choose to create a blank page using the Two columns - 20/80 layout. Leave the box "Copy this layout to my page template" checked.
Click Save. Click Design and add the Navigation -> Tree menu web part into the zoneLeft zone. Set the following menu properties:
| • | Content -> Path: /{0}/% (this means that the menu starts from the second level) |
| • | Design -> Item image URL: ~/app_themes/mysite/images/bullet.gif |
| • | Design -> Open item image URL: ~/app_themes/mysite/images/bullet.gif |
(the ~ character represents the root of the web site and it ensures that the image will be displayed correctly whether you run the web sites in the root or in a virtual directory)
Click OK.
Add the Text/Editable text web part into the zoneRight zone and set the following values:
| • | Editable region title: Header |
| • | Editable region type: Text box |
| • | Editable region width: 600 |
| • | Content before: <h1> |

| • | Editable region title: Main text |
| • | Editable region type: HTML editor |
| • | Editable region height: 300 |
Click OK. The design tab of the page now looks like this:

| • | Template display name: Services page template |

| • | Template category: General. |
Click OK and click Save on the Template dialog.

Click New in the main toolbar and choose to create a new Page (menu item) under the /Services page. Call the page Service 1 and choose the General/Services page template template. Click Save. Enter the following text:
| • | Header: Web hosting |
| • | Main text: We provide professional web hosting. |
Click Save.
