With widgets in CMS 4media, you can easily build and change the appearance of your website using a "drag-and-drop" approach.
Access to widgets is located in the "Page Builder" module.
To add, delete, or edit an existing widget, you should select the appropriate template from the list and proceed to its editing interface.
Each widget can have individual settings - for example, a weather widget on the homepage can display weather for location X, while another weather widget added to the article list template can show weather forecast for location Y.
Widgets also have individual appearance settings (widget design). Each widget can be styled differently in CSS, highlighted with shadow, frames, spacing, etc.
