1. Course Title

Content Management in Liferay.

2. Training Objective

In this course, you will learn the features Liferay offers for creating web portals, from public websites to corporate intranets.

We will cover how to create and configure web pages and their contents, how to manage users with specific permissions, and different information publication options. And of course, we will always consider the SEO optimizations that Liferay provides, or that we will cover during the course, such as integration with schema.org.

Throughout the course, each participant will create the website https://kelly.julditec.com from scratch and personalize it with their own information. We will start with an empty Liferay installation (each participant will receive a URL with their working environment) and add styles, images, and functionalities, ultimately creating the Kelly website using only the Liferay interface!
