Summary


Now, that you have finished this chapter, you should understand how to build a new content type and use that content type on your website. By using custom types for your content, you can make adding content easy for editors, and make the look of your content consistent for users.

In the next chapter, we will make the website more interactive by allowing guests to interact with the site through comments, ratings, polls, and user surveys. This type of functionality is very popular with web users because it allows them to become a part of the site. It is also a fantastic way to learn more about your customers so that you can continue to provide better services for them.
