Main Pages Setup Template for Site Information Architecture

Key benefits & value for your business

The Main pages setup template translates website strategy into a concrete, actionable site information architecture template. It removes ambiguity about which pages you need, how they relate, and where they map into your Odoo ERP modules (Sales, Inventory, Accounting, HR).
Below are the core buyer-centric benefits:

Save time and cost

Avoid lengthy discovery workshops. A ready-made sitemap and menu CSV reduce planning and developer hours — lowering project cost and accelerating delivery.

Reduce implementation risk

The template enforces consistent naming, SEO-friendly URLs, and logical navigation so content is easy to find for users and for Odoo-linked workflows (invoices, product pages, contact forms).

Make integrations predictable

Pre-defined page endpoints and metadata make connecting Power BI reports or Google Workspace assets straightforward — ideal when you want unified reporting and content-driven workflows.

Use cases & real-life scenarios

Concrete examples of how the template is used day-to-day:

1. Small accounting firm launching online services

Use the template to create Services, Pricing, Case Studies, Contact, and Client Portal pages mapped to Odoo’s Invoicing and CRM. Pre-built content blocks speed creation and ensure every service links to the right Odoo workflow.

2. Distributor expanding to B2B e‑commerce

The main and sub pages layout includes Category pages, Product landing pages, Trade accounts, and Wholesale pricing documentation — all mapped so catalog pages feed into Odoo Inventory and Sales orders.

3. Service marketplace preparing investor materials

Use the sitemap XML and wireframes to produce investor-facing pages (About, Team, Financials summary) while maintaining operational pages used by Odoo for reporting.

Who is this product for?

This main pages setup template targets small and medium-sized businesses and entrepreneurs who want a practical, low-complexity path to a structured website that ties directly into their Odoo ERP implementation. Typical buyers:

• SMBs implementing Odoo for the first time
• Agencies delivering Odoo-based digital projects for SMBs
• Business owners who want to standardize content and menu structure before building

How to choose the right template variant

The template comes in tiered variants. Choose based on the number of pages, complexity of integrations, and desired level of customization.

• Starter: Up to 12 pages — ideal for single-product companies and simple service firms.
• Standard: 12–35 pages — for most SMBs with multiple services, product categories and basic integrations.
• Pro: 35+ pages — includes multilingual support, advanced menu logic and custom analytics endpoints for Power BI.

If you plan to connect many Odoo modules or need custom permissions and portal pages, choose Standard or Pro and request the optional setup assistance.

Quick comparison: Template vs. building from scratch

Choosing a Main pages setup template shortens delivery time, reduces consulting hours, and delivers a predictable structure compatible with Odoo. Building from scratch gives maximum freedom but increases cost and project risk. The template strikes a balance: configurable, documented, and ready to import into Odoo with minimal developer time.

Best practices & tips to get maximum value

• Start with a simple variant: export the starter sitemap and validate with key stakeholders before expanding.
• Map each page to an Odoo object (product, invoice, employee) to ensure content supports processes.
• Use the included SEO metadata guidelines to optimize titles and descriptions during import.
• Connect Google Workspace assets early (Drive docs, shared images) to prevent broken links after launch.
• Schedule a 90-minute onboarding call with our consultants to align the template to your business rules.

Common mistakes when planning site structure and how to avoid them

Avoid these frequent errors:

• Overcomplicating navigation: Too many top-level pages confuse users. Use the template’s clear hierarchy instead.
• Ignoring Odoo mappings: Not mapping pages to Odoo objects creates integration gaps. Follow the provided menu CSV and mapping guide.
• Skipping SEO basics: Missing meta data and URL rules hurts discoverability — implement the included SEO checklist.
