How to build and edit the Ms Monaco Website
Website purpose:
The purpose of the website is to create systems for the salon that result in an identical result every time.
Systems are about the results not the people performing them.
People run systems; systems run businesses.
The Idea is for new employees to complete tasks to the exact same standard as senior employees.

YouTube

Making a new Category Page:
The purpose of the category pages is to divide all sections of the salon into different learning area so that can easily find and access specific pages that they are needing to learn. Consider these category pages as folders and the subpages as individual files.
On the right-hand side of the screen under ‘pages’, click the plus button down the bottom. This will create a new Category Page and ask you to name it.
You can move a category page to make it higher or lower on the Category Tabs by clicking and dragging it above whichever category page you need to. The blue line will appear to show you where it will sit once moved.
You can rename category pages by 'right-clicking' the mouse on the current name in the tab on the right of the screen.
Making a subpage:
The purpose of the subpages is to teach staff members how to do any task in the salon to the same standard every time.
Hover the mouse over the Category Page that you want the Subpage to belong to. Three vertical dots will appear to the right of the writing.
Click on these 3 vertical dots and select 'add a subpage.' This will create the subpage and it will ask you to name it.
If at any time you need to change the name, right-click the current name and it will allow you to change it.
