Start with a homepage

Once b2evolution is installed on your own web server or web hosting account, you might want to introduce your website with a home page.

Change the photo, the title, the intro text... and you've got your very own homepage.

When you're done with the home page, you can start adding additional sections (a.k.a. Collections) to your site. They will automatically appear in the main navigation bar at the top...

Add a blog

With 3 additional clicks your website gets a blog section.

Write something. Hit "publish". It's live!

You may also immediately start customizing your site design:

• Choose a different Skin: Example 1, 2, 3, Bootstrap
• Customize your skin with skin settings
• Add, remove and re-arrange skin widgets
• Optionally customize your CSS
• If you fancy, dig into the open-source PHP code

Multiple blogs done right!

Multiple blogs can be used as different sections of your website.

You could also have loosely connected blogs by letting each member of your organization, community or family customize their own space to their own taste.

b2evolution was designed for multiple blogs from day one and makes management really easy:

• All skins and all plugins are compatible with multiple blogs ;
• Each blog can run in a different subfolder, different subdomain or entirely different domain ;
• You can easily move posts and comments from one blog to another ;
• You can cross-post into multiple blogs at once !

Share your photos

Photo Albums

Organize your photos into Albums and show them off in a neutral design that lets your art shine!

Albums open into contact sheets of thumbnails of customizable size. Each thumbnail can be viewed in full screen through a lightbox which allows zooming in to the highest available resolution of your photos.

Slideshow mode & keyboard navigation included.

Photo Blogs

If you prefer a linear story with added text, we also have skins just for that!

Connect your community

By adding forums – a.k.a. Bulletin Boards – to your website, your community can stay in touch with each other by sparking conversations on the topics they care about.

b2evolution’s forums can be enabled on your site in 3 clicks. No plugin necessary. No integration issues.

Feature highlights:

• File attachments in discussion threads
• User profiles & directory
• Private messaging between users
• Advanced multi-level moderation
• Efficient spam killing features

Publish with structure

Manuals, books and documentation often require a structured hierarchy of chapters and sub-chapters, contrary to blogs, which are typically organized by date.

Each manual can have its own assigned contributors. Each page can have its own attachments (images, videos, downloads) as well as a feedback/comment feed if needed.

Manuals can be navigated hierarchically or searched in full-text. You can also easily create transverse hyperlinks from one page to another using easy Wiki-like markup.
