Odoo comes with a fully featured Content Management System (CMS). With drag-and-drop features, your end user can design a page in a few minutes, but it is not so simple to develop a new feature or building block in the Odoo CMS. In this chapter, you will explore the frontend side of Odoo. You will learn how to create web pages. You will also learn how to create building blocks that users can drag and drop on a page. Advanced things such as Urchin Tracking Modules (UTMs), Search Engine Optimization (SEO), multi-website, GeoIP, and sitemaps are also covered in this chapter.
